Oh yes...yesterday was extremely emotional in so many weird ways. Haha! I was proud, happy, nervous, excited, little "sad" for a minute, grateful!
Keegan just got dropped off and once again...so happy to be there
Jeremy went and purchased a CHE for Batman yesterday. We realized the temp was just dropping too low for him right now. He literally looked like garbage yesterday morning to the point that I was scared. I'd never seen him SO dark or "stiff" and I know how that sounds. Please understand that I have read and researched but this is my first "cool nights" change in season with Batman and I just didn't realize temps dropping so low outside would play such a role in the temp of his tank. I warmed him up immediately and we started with the CHE last night on a dimmer.
He still had a wonderful day once that scare passed. He ate 20+ dubia and was fine. This morning he looked amazing and is already up to 16 dubia!
I'm taking Liz's advice and getting the liquids she uses (since I'm now a pro with a syringe
). I don't know what changed or why or how but he will NOT touch anything dusted.
Today I feel really good. Hailey is showing SUCH responsibility it's insane. Basically all I do is wake her up and (of course) do her hair, which I hope lasts a while! Other than that, she (pretty much always has) dresses herself, brushes her hair, gets her OWN breakfast, even grabs her lunch and water bottle and organizes her bag for the day.
Keegan...uhhhh...must have been completely drained. I left at 7:30a and he was still out cold. I even went in and moistened tanks, turned lights on, provided fresh water to the reptiles. He never moved! Haha!
Batman looked WONDERFUL. Full of color and FINALLY noticed the really dark patches of skin starting to go grayish. So, I think a shed is around the corner. He hasn't shed in SO long, used to be every 2 weeks!
Everyone is growing up!!!
Flash and Vraska are just wonderful. Easy, content, eating appropriately, sweet with the kids.
Today I feel quite relieved and pretty calm for someone like me
