Hey Everyone,
Ogo, my baby girl, is a year an a half old now. She's been glass surfing like CRAZY, and I mean CRAZZZZY. She'll glass surf right across to the other side of her tank and right up everything she can climb. She'll stumble, fall, and do it all over again for 11 out of the 12 hours her lights are on.
I'm going crazy listening to her scratch on the glass and everything inside her enclosure, not to mention I have to clean everything up and all her food bowls every 10 minutes... now i just leave them out until i feed her. I understand this is about her!!!!! But DAMN. I don't know what to do, I've tried so many different things!
Shes healthy, her eyes are super alert, her cream orange color is vibrant as hell, and she never has stress marks. When she gets INSANELY glass surfy, I let her run around the floor in my room for an hour or so, or just let her climb around my shoulders.
I've considered that fact she may be wanting to lay some unfertilized eggs, and there is sand in one half of her tank for her to do this. Sometimes she digs but just to make a little bed for herself before she sleeps.
This is driving me nuts, to the point where I finally said "screw it" and turned all her lights off and put a blanket over her tank yesterday at mid day. She didn't move and fell asleep an hour after that for the night.
Please, any input would be great. I don't want to have to deprive her of anything she needs. I'm literally just starting to go crazy between her and my Dog. When Ogo does this, which is all day, I also have to listen to my dog crying all the time because she doesn't like when Ogo's acting anxious or whatever. So I put her outside my room and she scratches furiously at my door.......
SCRATCHING EVERYWHERE IM GOING CRRAAAaaaaaaaaaAAAaAaaaazzzyyy :/
I'm going to try putting another basking light outside of her tank so that she can run around for quite a few hours instead of just one.
Im aware there are lots of posts just like this one, I guess I'd just like some reassurance that this is normal and hormonal. (didn't mean for that to rhyme but it did, nicely.)
