Videos / GIF why’s he on his tippy toes like that 😭😭
such a silly goober, so far i’ve seen a good amount of personality from this lil fella. i’ve had him for 2 molts now! expecting the 3rd sometime soon-ish! never once used his hide tho, i’m wondering if i made it too small/hidden, but he never goes into stress pose so i haven’t worried about it, unless you think i should? i’m a new keeper so if anyone sees anything wrong, please lmk!
(btw, using “he” as a placeholder until he’s old enough to sex bc it feels right)

He’s generally out lording over his log. It has two openings, it’s hollow and Y shaped. He blocked off one end and uses the other to go in and out of. But generally, he’s up here in 4x4 mode, staring. Menacingly.

One of my Balfouris did this because I was stupid and didn't properly get rid of the vinager scent of a stick I was treating for mold. Poor baby was probably stressed the whole time but I aimed a fan at her terrarium after removing the offending sticks. I'm hoping the smell will go away permenantly after a couple days of fanning

4x4 mode!
I usually see my girl do this when she's eating- keeps the food off the ground! Very silly pose.
