Why does he do this?

Is there anyway that you can add more branches to the top I know that you just added that one but the more the better he's probably just looking for other avenues to take he shouldn't be upside down he can burn his stomach that way and they can't tell when they're getting burned I would put as much foliage as I can and plenty of different avenues Think of it as a roadway if he only has one path that's only when he's gonna be able to take so he's going to climb the sides

I did, and it seems to be working! last question, sorry for being annoying, but should I use a feeding cup for him or should I just throw all the crickets in there and let him find em on his own? I tried using a cup recently because I was worried he wasnt finding them, but he doesnt really eat them out of the cup, I think he enjoys the hunt, what is your opinion?

Mine doesn't either but I like to give him the option I honestly think that having him hunt for his food is better stimulating to him and it's more of a natural environment but for things like spikes larva hornworms and silkworms I do you put in a feeding cup I put it near the top somewhere where it's visible crickets I just throw in His enclosure
