Crestie like climbing ...

TasiaMay Aug 12, 2003 11:30 AM

Hi all ... I have a juvie crestie (about the size of my pinkie tip to vent) that spends his entire day and night on the bottom of his tank. I know he can climb and "stick" to things because I have seen him do it. He also climbs all over me when I take him out. His temps and humidity are right, he has plants and bark to hide/climb on and he eats about 8-12 small crickets a night. Should this be something to worry about? My other two that are the same age and size are all over their cages (which are x-large critter keepers). Any help is appreciated!

He might be climbing around late at night when youre not looking.
I find my crestie is active from 7-3AM or so.

I highly doubt there is anything to worry about, if hes eating and everything is fine it sounds like he is just doing what he wants to do =)

I wouldnt worry.

I have 2, a sub-adult(8 mos.) and a juvie(4 mos.)....they both like to climb. The little guy sleeps up in the vine, while the sub-adult likes to go down on the floor, (underneath) the papertowel mind you. I found it very odd at 1st, but I thought, hey.....whatever floats your boat....right?
