I got him from the Havre De Grace Reptile show, No petsmart or anything like that for me. I've had a variety of other types of reptiles, this is just my first ball.

Yep, he's got a perfect set up, a bunch of different places to hide, that being said he doesn't go in them much. He seems to prefer to hide in the fake plants, which I guess counts as good as a hide does to him haha.

When we first got home he stuck his head in the water, but I think he was just really thirsty from being in those acrylic containers all day. He hasnt soaked or anything, and Ive been crazy checking for mites. But so far I don't think he has any. Its possible the vendor already treated him, but who knows.

Im very happy with him. I went looking for a spider, but there were none to be found except a very very large female. So I decided rather than waiting for another reptile show to get him instead. I might go crazy with anticipation if I had to wait a couple more months lol
