[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1862167, member: 89387"] Hi -- Sorry to hear you're still having to deal with all the hassle to keep proving to the powers-that-be that you're not able to "work" outside your home (as if all the critter care you do is not "work" :roll: ). And TMJ on top of that, as if you didn't have enough to worry about... :( I guess I'm lucky that my husband managed to find decent employment before I had to even try getting on disability, but I'll be 62 next year so pretty soon I'm going to have to deal with social security (as in finally getting old enough to call myself "retired" instead of "disabled"), and medicare and whatnot. Oh joy. :banghead: So you got a little plant that can eat the flies and thrips before they eat her -- pretty cool. :) I didn't realize that your summers are just about as short as ours. We're already losing over 5 minutes of daylight a day, so it's getting a little darker for a little longer every night, and the weather has turned cool and rainy as it usually does here in August. Puff's been doing really well and had a good checkup at the vet last Saturday (more about that on my other "blog"), but last night around 6pm he went in his hide, something he almost never does, so we're afraid that he's either not feeling well or that he may have gotten injured somehow, although there's hardly any way that he could have taken a really bad fall onto a hard surface, the way we have his tank set up. I checked on him and he was awake and responsive, but stayed where he was. We decided to give him the evening off from bathing and feeding and just let him rest. I turned his lights on at the regular time this morning, a few minutes ago, and he's peeking out at me now. I plan to give him about an hour and see what he does -- then I hope to do his usual "good morning" cuddle and try to make sure he's ok. :? I hope he's not seriously considering trying to brumate for the first time in his life this year, especially when he's still not quite done gaining back all the weight he lost this last spring. Of all the bad timing... :banghead: If so, I'll probably try extending his "artificial photoperiod" (in other words, keep his lights on longer than usual) to see if I can "talk him out of" trying to go to sleep for several months. Too bad your cobra lily wasn't able to eat that caterpillar before it ate one of the pitchers, but I'm glad the plant itself survived. We sometimes get a bunch of little white butterflies/moths flitting around in our yard usually in the early summer. I've always liked them and thought they were pretty and sweet, but I never stopped and thought about what their caterpillars were doing to people's gardens at the other end of their life cycle. I gave up on trying to grow veggies in our backyard a long time ago -- I only have a "green thumb" if I keep it indoors. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
