He seems quite happy and looks good.Before I rehoused my two B. smithi, they were always up the sides of their enclosure.  The enclosure was far too high for them, I actually have a sub adult A. avic in one of them now, and they had these great big rocks in the bottom. Plus, there was not enough room for them to even have a decent sized water dish.  I rehoused them almost immediately, but while they were in the old enclosures they were constantly up the side right near the top.They will often explore and you just need to set them up so that they won't suffer an injury if they fall.  Adults are more of a concern and so are chubby youngsters. Their abdomens are just so delicate.</blockquote>
