[QUOTE="FrightenedRabbit, post: 19920, member: 1983"] Hi again. Thanks for identifying my beloved T. When I boarded her for three or so weeks while I went abroad the reptile store that boarded her said she was always on the side of her cage because her peat moss/vermiculite mix was too damp. It was time for an upgrade anyway so, I finally moved her into the 10 gallon she has needed for a good bit now. She's a pretty big T. Now she's on bone-dry coco fiber. I added a few wide sterilized branches, some stylish fake plants, and made her a wet side and a dry side. She has never had a hide and she does not have one now. My T has always, always, been a side-clinger and a climber. She moves almost constantly and has since she was a sling. She has always molted with no issues, she's a good eater and has otherwise presented no odd behaviors or issues. She is docile and can be easily handled but I rarely handle her unless I am cleaning her cage. Is the cage wall walking something I should be concerned about? Could this just be part of who she is? Maybe something she is habituated to? In the pics below you can see her standard pose ( I spritzed her leaves and she seems to have gotten a drop on her) and her 10 gallon. THanks so much for any and all advice!!!
