Ahaha you're so right, Janet is like that too, she's gotta be a honey badger, it's the only way to explain how much she just doesn't care Image Maybe she's hiding something under those poolsImage

Update on food, I put in shrimp and they went absolutely bananas. Ironically, they don't really like bananas

Whelp, my crabs either like eating okra, or just dragging it out of the dish to make a mess - this week.

And the dried herring-jerky dog snacks I got them are everywhere. It's going to be a smelly clean up tonight. :tongue6:
