I have a L7 Male Violin and an L6 Female who until recently were cohabiting; however, the male got more and more active and as it was coming up to the female's moulting time, I chose to move him into one of my old mason jars as if he disturbed her, it would ruin her moult. I'm aware I swore off mason jars recently, but I believe the conditions make it such that my main concern (respiratory infection) is nigh eliminated, as the humidity is lower and there is no soil substrate for bacteria to live in.
He quite often butted his head against the walls of his old enclosure and so to mitigate this in the new one, I covered all the sides with mesh to prevent him from seeing out. Unfortunately, he has persisted to do this. I put him in my wardrobe in the dark for an hour and that did seem to mellow him out and it did work for about 10 minutes. I've been letting him out to free roam under supervision but this won't be possible when lockdown ends and I go back to work. I'm very aware that this behaviour can cause eye rub and despite my best attempts to prevent this behaviour, there is nothing more that I can think of to do, so I am turning to you experts. Thank you!
