this section needs to be more active! i'll start:
today i went to get all my babies up and about, soaks & food... when i opened up the hidey lid to look for my spiders (it is always a challenge to find them), i saw this sad little sight!
poor little guy, somebody get him some sphagnum moss!
origionally i had those pots for hides, but they never used them. so i succumbed to tom's use of plastic boxes, i got some boxes with hinged lids and drilled holes, ans stole the sphagnum that used to be stuffed in that sideways pot that dr. parnassus was in this morning. so now i have two of these:
the holes face the heat sources because in my opinion it simulates the rising sun so the would come out to bask when i turn their lamps on. however, they hate these. the only time they ever use them is when i put them in there and bury them under moist sphagnum moss. i've also never known them to use the pots until just this morning.
sorry, still haven't found lemon, no pics of her!
and finally, i was so suprised to notice this:
two new shoots from a bannana tree that's been inside for a month (one on top, a new plant shooting out from the bottom)! i thought they needed better light, but maybe it's getting light from my sulcata enclosure that's on the other side of the room, closest to the bananna tree.
okay, new pictures or posts from all the spider tortoise owners on the forum: ready, go!
