man I am probably the only one up right now since I am on the pacific coast but my two PPs are hanging out with each other, one E is climbing upside down on the screen and one is trying to figure out how to get up there. They are across from my bed and with light on them i have the perfect view, i have missed all the clinks and clanks of them

One of my hermies, Buggie, snacking on some dehydrated banana. Sorry for the glare.

@soilentgringa that wheel with the crabs in it must make the most hilarious sound. Do you have a video of it?

It is sharpie. I have short term memory issues and I write the names so I can try and keep track of their health. Besides the shells I take lots of pictures to compare the little guys since they like to swap shells. I would not recommend it unless it is a must.

Haha sooooo....I was checking on my "pet sand" just now &&&&& I found eye balls!! My 7wk molter Peanut is surfacing...the little rascal. I've been seeing signs of tunneling, but so far hadn't seen the actual tunneler. He/She is up!!
Now to wait for Jack to come back up haha hopefully Peanut doesn't disturb him.
