Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Well a few days ago someone posted a question about climbs for their bp. Last night as I was passing her cage my bp was doing what she does best, climbing on the inside part of the lock. Nevermind the 2 1/2 feet of PVC made for climbing right behind her!!! Sometimes I just dont understand=)

Kinda like the $300 toy that the children wanted real bad, but won't play with. They just play in the box it came in...........

When my ball gets "hungry" she comes out at night. My dad and I bought some parts from a hardware store and made our own in-tank light fixtures for the 70 gal Oceanic my ball is in. Well turns out at night by Balls favorite pass-time is hanging from bulb to bulb in the top of this huge tank (I have two flood lights, one white, one red)...

So one afternoon I'm checking in on her and she completely unscrewed the red bulb from the socket!!!!!!!!!!

AND, it gets better, the bulb was in one piece, I thought for sure it would have shattered on her stone hut right under where the light used to be...

Us and our crafty balls

I have two '02 balls and ever since I put them in tall rubbermaid containers with wooden dowels at one upper end of the container they hang out "up top" almost all the time. The female bascially only eats from the perch - she swoops down on mice and eats them hanging upside down! I keep waiting for her to turn green after the next shed

It makes me wonder if they don't climb more in the wild and we just don't know it because they're nocturnal?
