Hello,
I made a thread a few days ago, about my new Chaco's bad attitude, and propensity to sit on the walls of her enclosure. Trying to get her in a better mood, I raised the substrate level to twice as high, leaving a space of about her legspan between the substrate and the roof.
This has, however, not made the difference I would have liked. She doesn't wander about all the time or anything, and she eats as well as any T I have ever seen (I have genic, and my brother a Parahybana). She still sits on the walls way more than on the ground, and today I caught sight of her grooming herself, on the wall. For about 10 minutes she sat, cleaning her teeth and feet, before she stopped... and started drooling. Clear liquid leaked from her mouth, and dripped down on the substrate, forming a puddle there. I'll post two pics, showing this... so... does anybody have any idea what it might be?
She has a wide and shallow waterbowl for water, and the substrate is more peat than vermiculite. The tempeterature ranges from about 22-26 degrees C, so I'm having trouble imagining what it is she doesn't like, if anything. And, she's in a well ventilated pet pal.
