I have two mature males I picked up from someone who was moving. They are in kinda small enclosures. One is a Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty, and the other an Orange Baboon.
The Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty I rehoused from a 6x8x4 into a bit larger enclosure with more natural debris and it went from looking stressed to seeming more at ease. Not constantly running. the
Orange Baboon is in 6x12x6 with a kind of shallow substrate layer, about an inch and a half but with a mount and cork bark where he made a burrow big enough I can't see him.
He does not come out at all, I've literally only seen legs a few times. I have a beautiful planted and bioactive semi arboreal 12x12x18 that previously housed mourning geckos. I think it would ideally be the better enclosure. But I'm concerned about digging him out and moving him. He's a mature male, I think he's been in this final molt for a while, and I'm kinda worried about the stress that a rehouse would cause. Maybe it would be better to keep him in the smaller enclosure?
Thanks for any advice!
