So, remember that photobucket pic of those invasive goldfish I showed?
I got permission from the college that owns the property to go in tomorrow and fish'em all out. So. Any one who wants some goldfish contact me. >>

silly me had a big fright yesterday
since I've had quite a few things not go right with some animals over the past year, I am extra scared of things not going right
so yesterday when I took the water tub out of the tank with Chloe and the parietalis, I freaked when I found Chloe behind the waterdish, with a big whitish pussy looking area on her side
I went into crisis mode immediately, grabbed some nolvasan and wipes, and proceeded to the sink to rinse the area - it was high drama in my mind
it turned out to be some very fresh snake waste she had apparently crawled through and once I rinsed her off she looked fine - whew!

LOL Rhea... it's always a relief when "emergencies" turn out to be nothing! At least she's good and clean now!!

I just read the two new posts in the urgent care section and got all weepy
I was really grateful that James had already answered and I could cruise on over here
all my animals are doing really well again - whew
now I can agonize over my contest entry
should I go for classic portrait or touch of goofy?

Here's a couple of pics from yesterday. I did decide to move Curious and Reed into the 55 gallon tank with Miriam and Mordecai, and I guess they've been together for about 2 weeks now... maybe less. It's been very interesting to see them adjust to each other-- Curious, of course, is Mr. Social and he was just like, oh cool, a bigger house to play in with more friends. LOL But omg, Mordecai and Reed have been VERY unhappy with each other!!! I'm still watching to make sure this will work out... those two still rattle their tails at each other and do these bluff strikes when they come face to face!! Miriam could care less, and her and Curious have already curled up together a few times. But for the most part, it's still M & M together and Curious and Reed together.

Curious and Reed, Best Friends!!



Feeding has not been an issue. M & M and Reed eat pinkies right off the tongs. Curious was picky after his last parasite treatment-- remember how his throat seemed to be sore after the first one-- so I decided to try some worms on him this weekend-- total sucess!!!!! He ate five nightcrawlers!!!!!

So here he was downing a worm, while Mordecai and Reed, who had already eaten four pinks each, prepare to have another face off. Now... is it ok that they are still at odds?? They are not biting... but rattling and bluffing. Think they'll settle??

I've never had garters do that
I would think they'll sort it out

I hope they learn to play nice eventually, Lori. It looks like they have a really nice big home now -- it would be a shame if they had to be separated again.
That pic of Curious and Reed is precious, by the way!!

It's been really interesting to watch them... I didn't expect the two to act like they do. I'd never seen them-- wag?? rattle??-- their tails before. And they dive at each other's faces, but with mouths closed, from what I can see. There is indeed plenty of space for them, but if they don't find peace soon I'll have to make room for another tank because I don't want Mordecai and Reed to always feel like there's an enemy nearby, you know??
