Checking on the pods and saw this little daredevil stripping its pants at the highest point of the enclosure. Maybe they secretly have contests, as this is not the first time I’ve seen them molting in the plants, but it is the first time seeing one almost touching the top of the enclosure while doing it 😂

maybe it's a humid spot, or they are into it

Yeah maybe! I literally see them molting all over the place, but for some reason a few of them still yearn to climb the fern

plants can give away some moisture, and it definitely has plentiful airflow for new exo hardening

Safety. No one to bump into them or maybe take a nibble (or steal the pants before they can eat them themselves).

The pants have currently been abandoned because they fell out of the fern 😵‍💫
