Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm really sorry to bother you all again. But I just can't seem to get answers.

Tobias is going crazy. Crazy insane. He's seriously freaking out. He's always jumping and slamming his head against the hot hot screen. (He has a few burns too, because of it... I believe.) He hangs from it also by his toes. He only does this directly under his heat lamp though...

He's always trying to climb the glass... I think I've got his eating thing under condition... His new tank is beautiful I just hope it's appropriate.

My mom and I were discussing this just moments ago. Do you think it would be wise to get Tobias a female? He was, after all, raised with a female in the pet store. I bought him as an adult so even then I'm just assuming he was sexually mature... Could he just be lonely and really want a female?

My mom and I have agreed to call the store and do more research. So here I am back at the forum, asking for your help again.

(Eve, if you read this, I know this is almost the exact message I sent you, but hey, I figured I should ask others as well!)

i am sorry that your baby is freaking out all the time. here are some things to think about.
is he in a high traffic area? maybe he is freaked out by all that is around him. if he is in a glass tank do you have the back and sides covered? it usually helps them not freak out.
does he have sufficient hide spots?
if worse comes to worse you could always buy one of the full screen reptariums. my lizards have them and they can climb all over it (it's like soft screen, not hard like the lids to glass cages) i have one spastic lizard and she does very well in it.
another lizard might help but you have to be prepared to quarentine it so you could not put her in right away
