I finally explored the movie-making software on my computer and put together this video. It's a compilation of several clips recorded last summer just before I switched the gliders from their old cage to their custom Reptarium.
I often hang silk leaves around the enclosure for North because he likes to gather them up using his semi-prehensile tail and carry them back to the sleeping pouch. On many occasions I've seen Nocturne try to do the same thing, but he just can't seem to get the leaves secured with only his tail. One night after I had re-set all the leaves, Nocturne came popping out of the pouch to drag the leaves inside. I would then remove the leaves from the pouch and re-hang them on the toy above and he would do it again. He pulled the leaves into the pouch at least a dozen times and I caught four of them on video.
It may sound a bit cruel to remove the leaves from the pouch when one of the gliders has worked hard to make a leafy nest. However, if I don't remove the leaves the gliders spend all day fussing and shuffling around in there and don't get any sleep.
