I have a secret knitting project that ABSOLUTELY MUST BE DONE no later than December 28th. I'm going to work on it when I finish this post, but I have been BAD and it is not as done as it should be. Not in crisis mode yet, but still. On top of that I have Jen's bachelorette party to help plan, and many other knitting/crocheting projects I wanted to have finished by Christmas but which are looking increasingly unlikely the more I procrastinate. Must knit!! Time is pressuring me!!
Just fed the snakes, had a much more successful go of it after skipping last week entirely. I FINALLY got my hold-out baby ball to eat, I assist fed him (stuck the fuzzy in his mouth) and he kinda went 'Oh, *that's* where food is supposed to go!' and started constricting it. Doofus. Almost all my grow-up girls ate this week (or at least constricted, which I *assume* means they're going to eat it. Mostly.), Stem, Branch, and Stick are the only ones who didn't go for their food. Branch I'm breeding so I'm prepared for her to go on strike, and Stick can not eat for as long as he wants, he's a big boy. Stem...well, she looks like she may be going into shed, so I'll give her a pass this week. Still have all four of the boy baby balls, if anyone wants one! (They are eating me out of house and home, I'm begging you >_<)
I now have 9 auratus tadpoles in the water and three more eggs set to hatch in another few days. I really hope my imitator start breeding better, I bought them a new bromeliad and rearranged their tank in hopes of stirring them up. They seem to like the brom, but no eggs yet, and it looks like the one they laid last week is, again, infertile. Maybe the male is too young...
Anyway, off to do some knitting until at least 1:30 am. Ta!
