[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 60130, member: 1084"] That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying you can tell they're terrestrial simply by looking at the way the body is designed. They don't have the flattened foot pads of an arboreal and have more of the somewhat bulkier terrestrial body. You can keep yours however you wish, that's really besides the point. I'm not sure you're really understanding where I'm coming from here. I'm looking at the species as a whole, not one particular individual. If that's what works for you that's great , and this is definitely one of those species that the set-up can be sort of tweaked a bit for, due to them having some arboreal habits as well. If you took a picture of this species though and put it next to an arboreal species like an Avic for example, you'd notice so many differences in the way their bodies are designed, and what types of environments they are adapted to live in based on this design. No need to get defensive, I'm not telling you how you should keep yours, I'm just interested in discussing why I feel they should be classified as terrestrial. [/QUOTE]
