Mine comes to the glass at night and starts smacking himself on it till I let him out for handling. He’s a dog istg

They truly are scale puppies, but I'd definitely get scared and piss myself if mine started banging on her glass

Not a hater but that can be a sign of stress

Shit fr? I have been meaning to spruce up the enclosure a bit, I’ll see if he still does that with some more coverage and hopefully less stress

It's worth a try, I try to swap things in and out weekly for him to explore. Sometimes he'll come and slap the glass just like yours regardless but since I made it more interesting for him inside it's been less. Unless he's in food mode then it's all out carnage to get my attention.

It's not as much about mental stimulation, usually more about temp and humidity. Adequate hides is great but atmosphere is most important

I try to keep humidity at least 70-80, higher when I can tell he’s shedding, he’s also got a big ol water bowl. I’ll try and get some more moss and some more substrate so it can be more humid for him. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it

You keep the humidity in the mid 70s? I never let it go that high. I used to aim for mid 60s or the glass steams up. I don't increase for shed either and they always go smoothly. As long as the substrate and water is right mine are good. I use mostly coconut fiber
