Sun bathing :D

@Peeps101 just watch your heat level when your outside. Even though it says say 60 degrees in full sun it will easily climb 40 degrees. I have a misting bottle I take out with me when Beman is in full sun. I mist down the cage really well for him and that has been working well for me. I don't have a place in my yard where it is partly shady. I didn't realize until I took out one of his portable thermometers how much the temp actually climbs. So if you see him gapping then he is too hot.

Alright thanks.@Peeps101 just watch your heat level when your outside. Even though it says say 60 degrees in full sun it will easily climb 40 degrees.

So ever since I took him out he LOVES sitting on my windowsill (his enclosure is right next to my window in my bedroom) I’ve got 2 small pothos plants on the sill and he loves sitting on them in the natural warmth of the sun. I know this doesn’t benefit him as his lights do in his cage but when the wind dies down a little more would it be safe to take his cage outside in my backyard? I figured I’d ask because I know there’s lots of bugs and such outside especially in the summer

One of the best things for them.

Is it safe despite the bugs? Or like do I need to re-wash his plants afterwards? It’s 72 outside rn

Perfectly safe as long as you haven’t recently and don’t plan to be spraying pesticides while he’s out there.

Work from home day and the sun is out in full spectrum! Jack went from a drab, olive to a more bright green after a few minutes soaking up the rays. I gotta construct a little screen enclosure just for days like this. I could really see thosView attachment 226260View attachment 226261View attachment 226262e rays perk the little guy up.

Awww he really loves it!
Such a happy fellow! It is quite remarkable how they perk up in natural light. Love him by the way!
He is more loyal than my dog ....just sit there and waiting for the owner to come homeView attachment 226165View attachment 226166
He loves chilling on my windowsill!
