Crabs seem to like to watch me sleep. Have woken up a few times to see a crab just chilling, looking in my general direction. I assume that i moved and they probably assessing if it was dangerous or not, but still a nice and friendly sign at 3am. :lol:

No tv in the room with mine. But one of my straws will sit at the highest point in my tank and just stare out forever without moving... And I mean not an antennae or eyeball. Nothing.

Only my largest, Mrs. Robinson really looks out the tank. She's not near a tv, but every once in awhile she'll come up to the glass and kind of just "look out" to see what I'm up to. lol

On my previous tank they would always stare out the window. It was kind of sad. The upgraded tank had a black back. I have scraped it off, but it's currently covered with Reflectix. The view from the window is my butterfly garden. When I did upgrade my tank, (before I put in my wheels) one of my e's escaped. I found him on the window sill, trying to claw at the window. It was sad. Since the Reflectix is up they do look at the 75g tank, and the 75g look at the 100g tank. I've never seen anyone look at the snakes though, or they don't appear to. LOL.

Also, when I had upgraded my tank, I had some down in my old tank, and the entire crew that was in the new tank was over to the one side of the tank looking into their old tank like our buddies...it was really interesting.
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com
