[img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Glad ya like him. Has he bitten anyone? LOL...I got em all kinda used to being handled and most of them won't bite at all....now all of a sudden everyone is dissapointed cause they won't bite. But...everytime I say they won't...they decide to nip....otherwise, I can't get them to.
Temps are a little warm. Remember...even though they come from tropical South America...they spend most of their time in the trees where it is cooler and breezy. They prefer temp ranges of 78-83. They won't normaly perch on single straight perches like emeralds do...they look for places where they can spread out a little....that's why he is staying on the silk plant. If you tie wrap a small piece of cork bark onto that dowel rod he might perch on it. He seems to be enjoying the upright wood thing with the holes in it. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Please remember to keep him misted too...they will soak and occasionally drink from a water bowl but more often will lick water droplets from their coils or off the leaf of a plant. Does he go in the hide box? I gave up on them...None of mine would ever use them...one of the babies would work his way under the waterbowl though...I can't remember which one it was or if I still have him though. I've never seen another amazon do this. gravid females will hide and rarely climb while gravid.....anyway...looks good [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] glad you guys are enjoying him.....just please cool him down just a little.
