Hey everyone! So long no see.
Seriously though, it has been a looong time since I was last on this site chatting with all you lovely peoples. And to be honest I kinda miss you all. I blame college. Not only has it taken me away from my beloved beardie for more time than would like, it has also kept me away from all of you!
But, as I am back now that I have graduated, I will not only be more active around here but also in Spyke's life! Unfortunately while I was gone, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer (we also got cats, but that's not so unfortunate and has actually been a huge help with mom). With this being the case the care of Spyke while I was away was not as tip top as would have liked. He was still fed and given water but the care of his terrarium took a definite hit. Despite my lengthy letter about how to care for him, my dad made some rookie beardie mistakes. He bought that vita-cal sand substrate crap as he felt that it was easier to clean than the green reptile carpet I had him on. No worries I have scraped all of that and put in tile which IMO is the easiest to clean and won't make him sick. But in addition to the change in substrate, my dad also never cleaned his various logs and food dishes. So I threw them out and have been using plates temporarily because I've decided to give Spyke a fun update to his home (aka completely renovate it) and would like some suggestions as to what to get for him/it. I've been surfing around here and decided that I definitely want to get him a hammock of some sort as he had grown out of the one I had previously had for him. I also want to get things for him to climb on as he has an old snake terrarium that is approx. 100gal, 4 ft wide, 1 ft deep, and about 3 ft tall, so I have tons of space to work with and want him to have access to as much of it as possible. Keeping in mind that I am recently graduated/still a broke college student, any ides on what to get for him?
TL;DR I want to renovate/update Spyke's terrarium. Any suggestions on what to get/put in it?
Thanks for any/all of your suggestions. I appreciate it and know that Spyke will too.
While you think of ideas, enjoy some updated photos of this ham.
Callie is always quite intrigued by Spyke but also usually keeps her distance. lol
This is probably my favorite. I have a yellow case on my phone and Spyke's favorite treat is banana. The rest speaks for itself. haha
