Hi all. So, my new ball is doing wonderfully. He eats like a champ, loves his new exo-terra hides (I returned the half-log), and is very active in the evenings. I finally got the temperature gradients just right with my t-stat and dimmers, too.
I've noticed that he loves climbing in the fake plant I have set up on the cool side. The problem is that he tips it over every time he gets into it. I've seen this at Petco: http://www.petco.com/product/9610/Kr...-Branches.aspx however, I'm not sure it's really big or stable enough, especially when he starts getting larger. Can anyone recommend something I can order which would be better for my ball? He does seem to enjoy climbing so I want to provide him with the opportunity without him constantly tipping over!
(of course, if I could just find a branch from a local park, sterilize it somehow, and wedge that into a corner, that'd be cool too!)
Also, in the same room albeit completely across, about 16 feet away and about 4 feet higher up, I have a tank with Roborovski hamsters. Should I be concerned about perpetually "pre-scenting" the room, causing him to strike at me more often when I try to handle him? Thanks.
