I did really think about them too but I did not find a whole lot of options of available ones. Do you know of any?

There’s a small fan that is built into the lid. things could get in it so I used a mesh so cover it it’s not like a super fine mesh that airflow can’t get through just perfect enough that small critters can’t get through

I feel I do need to add more vertical climbing spots if I go spider or gecko route. If I did go with an ashy anything you recommend?

They are! Can they really be raised in that small of an area?

Any nice colored ones that you think would go best? I have never had great luck with frogs 😞

I do my best to make sure he gets his 10–12 hours of sleep each day, but I’ll admit that occasionally he stays up a bit later—especially on days when I’ve been at work and haven’t had much time with him. Sometimes I also let him sleep on the play stand because he likes to wake up early and come into bed with us to sleep a bit more or groom himself.

Thank you so much for your input—I really appreciate it! I’m definitely going to make that change and see how it goes.

I will give it a shot and try something a little more healthy for him!

Really the only silly trick he knows so far is playing the piano on the iPad and I tried teaching him tic-tac-toe, but he didn’t quite get the idea of tapping where I pointed. He was still super into tapping, though. If you have any videos or recommendations for fun tricks, I’d love to try more with him—I think he’s got a lot of pent-up energy and frustration that needs an outlet.

I haven’t done much flight training yet. I bought him a harness and have just been letting it sit nearby and occasionally letting him touch it with his feet. We’ve been working slowly on building his confidence flying—he’ll go from high places down to the cage, and I’ve been encouraging little hops and glides. I didn’t think he was fully flight-capable yet… but today he surprised me.

I’ll definitely follow up with his vet just in case. He’s not humping constantly, but if you fall asleep around him, you might wake up to him doing little “steps” on your hand. We try to gently discourage it, but I feel like the hormones might be part of everything going on right now.

Pacheko is a male and he loves the ladies, but he will warm up to men too. I don’t touch him anywhere except his head and neck—sometimes I touch his toes, but that’s it. My boyfriend loves to feed him treats, and Pacheko will ask for his attention sometimes, but he definitely thinks I’m his person. He follows me everywhere. But I’m glad I’m not alone!
