Sunday morning with my Ambilobe

[DeviousMike]

Got my guy to spend the night in the free range setup. It just gets better and better. He's tolerant of me and his demeanor is becoming very calm. I feel bad that I'm going to have to cage him when the weekend is over. So here's a few snapshots.

This is his pothos plant. I did some adjustment to placement of the bulb. I just learned that mercury vapor bulbs have to be vertically oriented. First light bulb that ever came with instructions!

This is a close up of him on his pothos.

The next two are him climbing down to go explore a bit. I think the dripper I put up has intrigued him.

And lastly is a handling shot. I can actually pick him up without a glove now.

Wow! He's coming around fast! I never worry about mine at night....they never move. He looks very happy in his plant.

I'm not worried about night time either. I've isolated the setup so there is not really a way to leave it except for down or if he jumps. I've seen a round smooth surface (like an upside-down bowl) used at a reptile show that seems to prevent them from wanting to go down. Do you any issues of them going all the way down?

 

[jannb]

Mine go down all the time. They have free range of my house.

Mike I would almost think you like that guy. He seems to be doing wonderful.

 

[DeviousMike]

I guess he will have to be supervised then hehe. Besides, I have a mistking setup in my cages. I can't let that go to waste.

Well at first I felt the same way he felt about me. Now that he's not such a jerk, I kinda like him.

That was a joke. I've always liked him. I just hate how something that looks so good acted like a rotten apple.

 

[BullyChams]

he is very cool looking.

Man, check out that base on his tail. A stud he is.

He is very handsome, how old is he? What happened that he was so cranky?
