I have had alot of time on my hands the past week and I have been snapping some pictures. While those upload to photobucket I will post some updates.
Percius & Achillies: are at the fiance's apartment so I rarely ever have any pics of them. They are doing well Achillies is triple the size of Percius and I am getting a little worried. We do not have a lid for our 75 gallon set up so we are waiting on that to come in at the pet store. They exist....just have to order them. They are not biting at each other and they show no aggression yet. my concern is that percius has slowed his eating to only a bug or two each setting because he is scared of achillies....even though we feed them seperately. As soon as that lid comes in the tank will be ready. I hope its within the next week though I really don't want another accident.
Athena: is starting to stop with the stress marks and is starting to be a big shot. She is the only beardie awake at my house so she is getting lots and lots of attention. Had an accident the other day though. My sister set her back in her viv and didn't watch too closely and she slammed the tip of her tail in the lid. I think she is going to loose about a centimeter....she has a super super unusally long tail... It was an accident so I wasn't too upset with my sister. It doesn't seem to be a bother for her. Who knowsw she may keep it and have a flat tail there. On a lighter note she is becoming more investigative and eating a lot more. Her colors are showing and she looks like another shed is in play.
Zippy: Well he is not eating still. Turns his head for any bugs and only eats his veggies. He has been sleeping in the rafters of his cage. you will see that in the pictures and comes out only in the morning for maybe half an hour. I miss him =C I think at the next expo I will get him some yummy hornworms. He shouldn't be able to resist those!
Pip: Well we figured Pip needs a new Hammock...When she is awake she tries to get into it but its the smaller one so she has a little bit of trouble. Its so cute though because her big fat belly sticks out. I took her out the other day and stuck her in my hoodie pocket and she snuggled right in and I got a few cute shots. I don't know what I would do without my Pip. Live a boring life I suppose....I took her out the other day and she nestled right on my chest and gave me kisses. She only sits on me for long periods, no one else. I think that makes me special! I have also came to the conclusion that when she wakes up and is at the glass that means, "Hey mom i need to poop let me out of my cage so I can do it on you." Haha she always does this! I haven't had a poop mistake in a while because I counteract it with taking her straight to the
bath and yep sometimes before the water is even warm enough to stick her in I get a nice big one on the kitchen counter...what a stinker.
Squirt: She has taken to hiding in her grass hay. She also likes to completely flatten it out to make me think she has eaten it so she can get some real greens. Sulcata tortoises do not need dark green leafy stuff all the time because it messes with their system. I give her dry grass hay and she eats it just fine. Every once in a while I feed her the other stuff. People say im lucky because she eats it. I love that she does because she is my cheapest pet. I got to see some large sulcatas in the pet store the other day. They are giant! Can't wait till she gets that big...but I like her size right now. She is pretty cute!
Alright now for some pictures!
