I know these guys can be eratic as far as behavior goes.......


This is the first time that it has refused to eat (usually eats 3 crickets in 1 and a half weeks)


Also, it is standing, fully erect, and perched in a position for long periods of time, rather then its traditionial slumped, or cramped positions........



Anyone????? Maybee a molt coming?

substrate

Have you checked the substrate? The T could be doing this 'standing' because of too-wet substrate, mites, mold etc. Sounds like the T isnt comfortable with the environment for some reason.

yeah, that's what i'd say. maybe it's just got a good outlook on life, and is standing high and proud. :) if all else fails, just chop off his legs. jk. :evil:

every now and then my rosie stands on its tiptoes. its as if it is doing pushups or someother sort of exercise. i have no reason why. the substrate has been bone dry since day one and because of that there have been no mites. mine hasn't eaten any food in about three months.
