    Re: Terrarium Branches...

    No, she is one of the most helpful members here. What I think she is trying to allude to, is climbing is not normal bp behavior. And while you say she's always done that, by seeing your enclosure I would say it's because of stress.

    My recommendations, take them how you will, are:

    get rid of the analog thermometers and get probed digital ones (the Accurite comes to mind)
    ditch the heat lamp and get a UTH and thermostat to regulate it
    get rid of the two log hides and get her two identical snug hides with one hole large enough for her to crawl in and out
    clutter up the open space with fake plants so she feels more secure
    Put an opaque material on the sides and back of the tank for added security and to help maintain ambient temps

    Also, check out the caresheet for any specific husbandry details, as well as the glass tank sticky in this forum.

    If all that is done, you'll find she won't even use the stick except maybe to help her shed. I have a similar one in my tank
