Plant Irritation

[Vypyrz]

It wasnt put in the enclosure but in the same room about 4 metres or so away. He has fake plastic plants in his enclousure. Thanks for the concern however.

It may have been just the unfamiliar smell stressing him. But I did find this bit of information, but since the plant was that far away, it may or may not have had anything to do with it.
