I do agree, whole-heartedly. I'm trying to figure out how to build an enclosure that will give her enough space, and that I can put together within our 2 bedroom apartment.
Honestly, I should have built her enclosure, first, and then added shelves and whatnot later. Hindsight is 20/20...
hey dudes! I read all about the high humidity set ups, tell people about them... but foolishly didn't follow through.
My leopard is slightly pyramided, but it's not getting much better. She's presently free-roaming in our apartment (humidity is always about 50%, but it's just not enough)...
My coworker is having a devil of a time getting her adult RES to eat any veggies; do you guys have any tips?

The last one is hysterical. She likes to sniff cats, stuff her face in their fur, and generally invade their personal space.
She follows is around the house, and even...
So... I'm lookin' at the redfoot set up thread that talks about using the heat rope, and it's sounding pretty good about now.
