Snap and Squirt are opaque now. This will be Snap's 4th shed and Squirt's first. I'm excited to see how lovely they'll look with the sheds off. I've been misting my room and their tanks a lot to help with the humidity.


Mama learned a new "trick". It's called "go-to-the-top-of-the-tank-to-beg-for-food-with-mouth-open." After I had fed the babies their holiday dinner, I decided to give the left overs to Mama and Snakey. Right when I picked up the dish and hemostats, Mama came up to the top of the tank with her mouth open and sat there... At first I was a little worried about her and went to pick her up to see what was wrong with her and she bit at me, then went back to the "give food!" position. I dropped a piece of worm in her mouth and she swallowed it and opened her mouth again, more food goes in and she opens her mouth again after swallowing. It was so funny watching her follow the hemostats with her mouth open when I was trying to give Snakey some, who also started doing that. They might have seen Runt do it, she does that if the food is near her but she's too lazy to grab it. I wish I got it on camera.
