Hi guys,

I decided to relocate the male when he was out wandering, so he's back in 'captivity' now.

I was wondering whether the 5yo, much bigger female still remembered about the speaker...

Hi Froglet,

You'll need to have hides (not too big) at different heights in your enclosure. And mine really seem to like the fake leaves/branches. They spend a lot of time hiding behind it,...

Nah, I'm happy for him to be in there as long as he wants. There's a basking light that turns on for a couple of hours each day on top of his enclosure (about 3m away) if he gets too cold.
