We call them tongs. The long ones. I gave the one I had to my friend, who's allergic to supers and roaches and yet has 5 dragons. LOL Her roach colony is in my house (I made it for her a few years ago) and her fiance found a small colony and gave it to me to add hers. I also bought 200 roaches in that tank and that's what I'm feeding Imp. So you know I told you I had to force feed Imp and he was totally against it. I gave up and put lots of med to small roaches in his food dish and some are disappearing. So have to check if they disappeared into his tank somewhere or if he's eating them. I'll take his tank apart while he's outside in the sunshine (away from the grandkids) and see if he is eating them, if he is, it's not alot but enough to make me feel better. I still give him the mix everyday, without it he doesn't seem to be able to gain weight.
Oh, I'm glad she's getting everywhere, whatever she wants to do right now is fine, she needs to feel safe everywhere in her tank. After all, it is glass and babies are used to hiding behind things. When I bought Issy and brought her home (1st female after Sweetie, a rescue from a pet shop) and she hid behind one of the long silk leaves on plastic, held up with a suction cup. She slept on the back of it or on her vine, every night, just very high up, so it's not unusual for her to do this.
Issy in her safe place:
And later on, she waved to herself in the glass from the top of her leaves.
I found Issy at the bottom of a tank at a pet shop, not where I normally go. I bought her for $50 and brought her home, fed her baby food and lots of supplements (she'd lost 1/2 her tail, bitten off by another baby in the tank). She was very small, she was already more than 3 mo old. I brought her home in fall 2008 and she passed from a virus in Mar/2010. RIP my sweet Issy.
Here she is at about a year old, maybe older. She liked to help with the dishes :lol:
She posed for Christimas/09
So here I went on another voyage because of your little girl. It was good to think about my Issy again, she was a very special dragon and grew up with Rubio and Sweetie, then Leo. I got Rubio and Issy at about the same time, the same age.
Your little one is under very good care, thanks to Tengu and how you and she developed your deep bond. Now this little one will get the care she needs because of Tengu, it's a continual link. Here's to all our babies :love5:
