Now to crochet...and run to the dollar store.

Cuddles has new decor. He's enjoying it!

He also realized I was watching him and decided to hide.

Edit:
He changed his mind about hiding xD

He is a cutie!!!

He is ^_^
He's very active today. He seems to really like what I've done with the tank. He hasn't been this active in a long time.
I think I've taken like fifty pictures of him today. He's so beautiful.

Yes they are. So nice to see you enjoying him.
How about posting us some photos. Please.

I caught that one last night when I woke up to go to the bathroom. Noticed the little guy peeking out and had to take a quick picture.

These are all this morning/afternoon. He's been doing this for an hour or two now. I missed a few good shots - mainly when he was stretching himself as high as he could against the glass. It's really unusual for him to be out this much in one period of time.

Those are great pics Ashley! I like the new decor...I have a plant just like that new one you got...but I had to take it out because my snakes were afraid of it . The last pic of Cuddles in the first set of pics that you posted...when he changed his mind about hiding...is just too adorable!! He likes his new stuff too much to hide...

Good looking Northwestern (T.ordinoides) Never get tired of seeing them.

My friends on Facebook really liked that picture, too, Marnie. It is quite cute. He was actually trying to get to the camera. For some reason he likes it a lot.

I think he likes having his lamp back. He keeps going over to the warm side of the tank and sitting in the light. The cool side of the tank stays at a pretty good temperature, despite the heat in my room. There's a lot of shade, plus the water, and it's near the window. I picked up some smooth rocks at the store as well and they stay pretty cool. That side of the tank actually looks a lot like the type of places I find snakes in when we go camping. Just...minus the snake grass and the fake-looking plants xD

That reminds me of the time we went out to a creek/stream one summer to swim. It was really nice and I won't swim in lakes so it was good for me. When we first got there I noticed a huge snake sitting on a log in the water. I think it had eaten recently, but that didn't really occur to me, I guess. It was just resting. The first thing that I did was hop in the water and try to catch it. Mom was so angry at me, haha. It was probably a good thing that it got away because it acted pretty aggressive and I probably would have gotten bitten. But I did catch some baby fish and a few frogs that day.

I'm glad Cuddles is happy. Sometimes I wish I was him. Then I could be happy too.

Garters really enjoy basking...in the wild, they will come out in the sunlight and bask under it...which is why is he enjoying his lamp so much. I'm glad Cuddles is so happy. Sometimes I look at my cats and I think...man, they really have the life...lying around sleeping all day...getting fed, being pet, snuggling...looking like they don't have a care in the world...I want to be a cat. So, I get what you are saying. You'll get there, Ashley....
