Hi All
We have had Lemon for 2.5 years now and he is absolutely thriving. He belongs to my son (now 14) and for most of the year his viv is in my son's room. My son's bedroom is not the biggest and the viv (Zen habitat) takes up a lot of space. In the summer we move his viv out into the living room as the bedroom becomes unbearably hot due to heat / lamps belonging to Lemon! He then gets moved back upstairs at the end of the summer.
Rather than this constant moving every time the weather warms up, I am considering moving his viv permanently onto a landing space outside our bedroom, which would also give my son a bit more space. He would be able to see out of a window but would not be in direct sunlight ever (the window is slightly lower than the landing as it on the stairs). Our bedroom is on the top floor and is the only room, so we would not be walking past very frequently.
My son is at school all day so Lemon is used to not having somebody in the room with him until late afternoon. My son does however does spend a lot of time in the evening / weekends in his room so Lemon sees him much more then. He spends time out of his viv when my son is there, and this wouldn't change as he would still be getting him out when he gets home, but obviously when he is back in his viv he would be alone.
Does anybody have any thoughts as to whether this might be a negative change for him? We can't have him in the living room permanently as there just isn't the space unfortunately. We have plenty of space in the conservatory but I would be worried about extreme temps in there on days we are not home to ensure they are regulated for him!
Thoughts welcome!
