Fly in the ointment...

Had a funny thing happen tonight, at feeding time. I live in southern Iowa, and we are just, maybe, possibly, getting on the warm side of winter. Anyhoo...
As I was about to pull the screen off to get her food dish out, a common housefly (hibernation, who knows!?) flew up to the tank glass and smacked it, BAMB! Just flew in place trying to get to the basking light I assume.
I have been very blessed that this little one, is very easy going, fearless, friendly and a REAL eater.
She saw this fly and came storming down from her basking rock, as I'm standing there, and hit the glass, tongue out, hard. She didn't care. Obviously didn't get the fly, but she's no quitter. I am laughing my ass off as she drags her face, and tongue, all over the glass trying to score, that, fly!
Needless to say, she ate, crickets, superworms, and even some greens from my hand tonight. Was immensely satisfying.
I think the thing about these little creatures, that I have found so surprising, is the personality that they exhibit. I kind of expected a relatively emotionless pet, and I got anything but!
Cheers!

I saw a fly the other day. Bugger was in the roach bin eating the roach food. Minnesota here. It's too soon!

It's great to hear your girl isn't going to let some fly disrespect her stuff. Dragging her tongue across the glass sounds amazing. Wish I could have seen it too

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
