because 5 months ago when i moved them out of the herp room (too small and enclosed for them in there) i promised my husband that their final home would be the garage and not the dining room where they are currently residing.

well first we had to clean out the garage to make space for them. then it was too cold so i wanted to wait. then it was still cold but not so cold so i had to buy a heater. then i procrastinated.

the garage is clean. the heater has been tested and is ready to go. we are now fixing up the kitchen/dining room and the husband says it is TIME. granted, two large rat racks in the dining room isn't the nicest looking thing in the world...

but i'm attached to them! i LIKE having them inside where i can interact with them more often and walk past and look in on them. who knew i'd ever be attached to a rat...or 20.

so i'm sad and feeling a little silly for feeling sad over their move. i guess i'll just have to start spending more time in the garage.
