    Mario is home!

    Again, big thanks to everyone for their valuable info, inspiration, and stories! Here is Mario! He's about 5" and weighs 6 grams. So tiny! He had just arrived that day, so I felt a little bad about him having to endure another new environment in 24 hours. The little 12" cube he was in looked...

    Hi, Everyone! First, I want to thank you all for making this an amazing, helpful, kind, and just plain fun place to hang out on the internet! When Mario arrives I will be sure to introduce him (and my daughter) properly in the Introductions forum. The TL:DR is that after months of proving...
