I hate to post without pictures in a progression thread,
However Wallace has been doing well lately. He's growing, but is lean as can be. He's been MUCH easier to remove from the cage, and he's FULLY utilizing his perches and cage decor.
I will set his last enclosure up to be the ultimate display cage. I have some ideas and it will be interesting watching him hunt and feed from ambush points and perch areas in the final cage. My joy in the hobby is based more on observing the behaviors of a few animals VS having a large collection that I can't monitor.
If you want to talk about real, wild retics and their behaviors, include Wallace in the conversation. He is perched right above his water bowl. Similar to what the younger retics do when they perch above streams in the wild. When threatened they drop into the water and make a run for it.
Wallace has a different idea though. He poops and pees in his bowl. I just changed it out last night, and low and behold, this morning it was filled again with poop and urates LOL!
He hits several climate zones by being able to perch.
Just an update.
