My last post about Thistle was that she was hiding under the substrate all the time, so I removed a lot of it. We have managed a truce...I am more sensitive to her daily schedule, and she allows me to pick her up with no biting, and very little resistance. ??
So, the other day she suddenly "discovered" how to have fun in her enclosure. She climbs into the pot with the pothos, races (at skink speed) across the top of her hide, dives into a small pile of substrate, climbs up onto her rock-like decoration. Then face plants coming down.
But the best is that she has discovered that water isn't just for drinking. She's been practicing her walk-on-water routine, much to my delight. On one afternoon, she did this at least a dozen times.
I caught it the best I could on her camera...
