I think I'll pass. I think his night watch skills need more practice. He should at least try to keep 1 eye open!🤣

Some part of his body is always in a shed. His tail could be near a shed but that does not explain being upside down in the Money Tree pot with 1 claw on a branch.

"Sleeping Tightrope Walkers." He' taking walking on the edge to a new level.🤣

Looks like he's preparing for a role in the new motion movie, " Sleep Walkers."

I don't know his age. He was adopted from the animal shelter.

I don't know if that was the issue. He immediately went to his basking spot but now he's laying on a branch. That's unusual behavior for Carmelo.

I added more heat and he is now basking! I think he was cold.

His basking temp is 79 degrees. I'm adding an additional heat lamp to see if that helps.

He's not basking. He loves to bask! His skin is really cold to the touch. Maybe he's too cold? We have central cooling. The ambient temp is 76 degrees. I think i'll add another heat lamp. He likes to bask at 85 but I only give him upto 83 degrees.

Another Pic. Taken 2 minutes ago. This is yesterday's poop.

I replaced his uvb in March. It's an Arcadia. I replace the bulb every 10 months.

The bottom pic is how I found him. The first Pic is what he did after I returned him to his branch.

In March of this year he was falling to the bottom of the enclosure from his branches. The Vet performed a fecal exam, bloodwork and xrays. He was perfectly healthy. He was adopted so I don't know his age. I added plastic netting to prevent him from falling to the bottom floor. In fact...

Yesterday, I found Carmelo on a lower net, as if he had fallen from a branch. Today, I found him upside down in the Money Tree pot. I thought he was dead but he wasn't. I placed him on a branch. He repositioned himself upside down. Is he looking for his final resting place? 😭

I rarely go to Pet stores because I wanna save them all.🫣

FYI - THE Petsmart in my area only sells females. Its a Petsmart policy. I see a tiny spur but I would ask the Manager. Petco and Pet Supplies Plus sells male and female.

It is a must that you transfer them to a clean tray with fresh chow, at least weekly., to prevent them from dying. I i use tongs for yhe transfer. Touching them with unclean hands could also cause die off. Unlike hornworms, silkworms don't like to stay in the container with their poop...

@FramsChams is a site sponsor. I've been pleased with the size and quality. They have a subscription so I don't have to manually order every month. Also suspending a subscription is really easy. I usually buy medium. I transfer them, weekly, to a fresh tray with fresh chow. They grow fast...

The pic has a red tint. Are you using a red bulb? Is there something going on with the tail?
