Hello..
I just adopted a 3yr old Pink Toe from a friend one week ago. This is my first T.
She *thought* she had a Chilean Rose but when I picked her up, it was a PT instead so she was in totally the wrong environment. I made a dash to the pet store and now have her in a Exo Terra 12X12X18.
I do have a concern though. I put in 2 live plants because it said it would help with the humidity. I can't seem to get it to stay above 60%. She's done fine with them but I did notice her hanging around the little gel cup that houses the plant last night. She's been in the same spot ALL day and tonight which is unusual for her. That gel is supposed to be non-toxic but now I'm worried. When I touch her, she does move a little but it still seems odd.
Does anybody know anything about that?
Also, can somebody define "pacing." The other night I put 3 crickets in with her. I happened to be up really late that night and had my first opportunity to observe her in action late at night. I'm not sure if she was "pacing" or hunting but she kept making slow laps around the entire terrarium non-stop. She would crawl along the glass walls, the screen top, go down and crawl across the substrate and then back up on a different wall. Since this was my first night up with her, I wasn't sure if she does this every night and is normal or if this is the pacing I'm supposed to be worried about? :?
I did notice all 3 crickets were gone by the next morning though.
Thanks so much!
Laurie
