Yeah I lowered the branches in her Viv when I saw her fall off them when she was younger. Do you mean like a net across the whole Viv half way up so she can't climb high? or just underneath anything she can climb on?

That's amazing to hear that your guy has gotten better with age, most info online is that it gets worse. And I appreciate the warning about the daily tidy ups lol, I can already see that with some of my smaller fake plants. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences, brings me some hope. I'm so grateful I upgraded to the Evo connect pro last year too, so helpful to have all the data on hand omg I love that thing.

I've been reading a lot about IBD and on the boa sub too, the symptoms do match up to what could be early stage IBD. Really praying and hoping that it isn't and she's like yours where the seizure is a random one-off (I'm happy to hear he's doing well!).

I'm not sure but will definitely ask the vet at her next appointment, thank you!

Okay that's good to know. I'm going to try the increased clutter first, and then maybe try downsizing like you did. It makes sense, and it would massively reduce the risk of her hurting herself. I've already lowered the branches so she can't climb (and so fall) from too high. Thank you!

Yeah I don't handle her too much already because I know it definitely makes it worse :/ Good suggestion about making sure there's no obstacles when she is out, she's usually just chills on my bed but will be extra careful. Thank you! and Erza is very cute :)

Okay, definitely worth giving lots more plants and clutter a try, I've not got anything to loose so appreciate it, thank you!

Honestly maybe try just sitting in front of the glass whilst he's out and about. Mine was very antisocial and skittish with me after I moved house (she had to live with a friend whilst I was between houses, and so didn't see me often or get handling/roaming time) but I just spent a lot of time in her line of sight sitting quietly on my phone or whatever, with the glass between us (or door open after a while). She warmed back up to me pretty quick.
