A ficus Benjamin, a jasmine, hibiscus, asparagus fern, pothos, i did have sweet alysium in small pots on the sides but have since removed them as they all died. And these red ones I have no idea what the name is. All of the above mentioned plants are on the bottom of the enclosures (except the sweet alysium)
So I know that the sap from ficus can be an irritant. It can cause irritation and itching of the skin. Does he sleep or rub on this plant?
He dose climb on it daily but dosent sleep on it (my female dose sleep on it all the time and has no issues). What alternative tree should I replace it with? I like the ficus because its not to big and it fits perfectly in the enclosure, bit if I need to replace it I will immediately.
From what I have heard some have issues with it and some do not. It may not be that at all. If you want to swap it out to see if this could be the cause an umbrella plant would be a good option.
Ok i will go get one and see if there is a difference, I cant have him squirming and running all over the enclosure they way he did today I felt so helpless as I know he was trying to tell me something....
lol I understand. The only time I have seen any of my boys actively scratch their feet is when they still have shed on the bottoms.
Yes I had him out of the enclosure a few times today (he kept coming to me) while I was trying to clean the enclosure, he has all his nails and his feet look fine/normal. Like I mentioned earlier in this tread when I was holding him he started scratching and it was as if he was trying to sharpen his nails?! His foot wasn't touching his belly and it was barley scratching me. But when he was back in the enclosure he would push his body flat against the vines and he was litterly running all over the enclosure like he didn't know what to do with himself...
I feed him roughly 10 -15 crickets as his staple diet he dosent eat all of them there are a few left in his feeder for the next day and I have fed him 4 -5 black soldier flies as a treat every second day for roughly a month. I have since slowed down on the black soldier flies. Last week Thursday I introduced super worms and dubia roaches started by only giving him 1 superworm and 3 dubia roaches to see if he will take it. Yesterday I put 2 superworms in his feeder and I see there is still one in there. I have given him dubias before.
But what do you feed to the insects?
I give all the insects fresh carrots everyday.
Hi Kinyonga,
Are you using it like that or are you mixing with water the way the repashy directions call for?
