I took him out thinking the same thing, but now that he's scaling my screens and digging at them to get out, I think he's frisky. He's driving me nuts! I've been trying to distract him for an hour and he's not having it. His temps are good though. Is there anything that I can do to calm him...

He's about 3. He's not blackbearding but he sure does want out of the house.

Lately Rufus has been doing a very intense glass dance. He stands in one corner and bangs his head against the glass while scratching at it. Today I rearranged my living room and the back of my couch is up against a big picture window. I put a blanket up for Rufus and let him climb up to sit...

I went last year too, it's an awesome show! Can't wait!

WOW! What a dramatic difference!!! He looks GREAT!

Hey Josie - how's Jack doing today? You may have posted this but I didn't see it - how much does Jack weigh?

I would suggest using feeding tongs. My husband had the same issues with Rufus trying to nibble his finger.

Rufus' revamped Viv! I still need to add the plants, I'll be doing that tomorrow. Rufus says, "Please excuse the bit of Blackberry on my chin." :)

Yes that's what I said - eating the temperature probe. Apparently Rufus thinks the probe is a worm because he won't stop trying to eat it. It's suctioned to the side of the tank and it's most obviously not alive but every day he tries to munch on it. Does anybody else have a weirdo pet? :P

Oh wow, I didn't know to do this - isn't that dangerous?

You're not the first person to suggest this to me. My husband is deployed to Iraq and I am NOT handy with tools/wood/construction so I don't think this is for me.

I don't know if any of you are like me but when somebody gives me measurements I have an impossible time figuring out if the tank is the size I want. Somebody has emailed me and said he has a 55gal tank measuring: 4'x21"x12-1/2". Do you think this would be a good replacement for Rufus' 40 Breeder?

I'm in eastern NC

Rufus is currently in a 40 breeder. I'm lookng to upgrade to at least a 55gal but I haven't been able to find anything. What I find is either not wide enough or too expensive. I'm looking to spend about $200. I've checked all of our local yardsale & Craigslist websites and am having no luck...

I have a 40 breeder and am currently looking for a 55 gal for Rufus. :)
