    not using trees yet?

    I got my atb on tuesday, he is about a year and a half old. The first day I got him I put him in vines and branches set up in his cage. By the end of the night he went to the ground and has been there ever since. My humidty is always at least 80% and ground temps are just under 90 can someone let me know if this is normal or if I am doing something wrong thanks. This is my first of this species I just want to make sure he is going to thrive with me

    I know that sometimes ATB's will hang out on the ground and it's not a huge deal. Have you checked the temps higher up in the vines to see if that's the problem? It might be warmer or feel more secure on the ground.

    Good luck! Mine was feeding on live when I got him and he took f/t the first time and each time since with no problem. It's pretty cool to watch how they eat with such thin necks.
