So Buttercup is 6 months old now and quite a bit bigger than when I got her. I'm feeling confident that if I let her roam around the den that she will not be able to get away because she would have to go up a large step to get out of this area and I don't think she is big enough yet for that. I would like for her to be able to run around in an area larger than her viv for part of the day and have some freedom. This would also give her more time with me while the kids take a nap. I am usually on the computer or doing laundry in this part of the house for a couple hours a day.
So I have created a basking area outside her viv. I have a few tiles down (in case of accident), a basking cave/hide, a 100 watt MVB. The spot only gets to about 90 degrees at 12 inches from the basking bulb so I will have to do some tinkering in that area.
Anyway, my question is....I can't tell if she likes it or not? She roams around the living room quite a bit. She never goes near her basking corner but if I try to pick her up she puffs up all big, runs away and beards the heck out of me. When I tried to pick her up on Friday my thumb got caught between her side and her thigh and she pricked the heck out of me. I've only tried it a couple of times but does it seem like she is enjoying herself at all? Should I just give up or keep trying? :?:
