    I thought she was dead!

    I fed yesterday morning, and peeped in last night to check on everybody. Roana was out of her hide, doubled in half along the side of the tub. Her head was wedged on its side between her body and the tub wall and after a few impatient seconds of waiting for her to breathe, I poked her to no effect. Now panicking, I rubbed her body more firmly and then sighed in relief as she snapped up and glared at me. I closed the tub apologeticly and left her to return to her nap.

    My male ball python did that too once and OMG I about cried before getting him to wake up and ball up! Seeing him do that was the best thing!

    Nope, no ape-children. No interest at this point, and possibly never. The critters are far more interesting to me.

    My son never slept soundly, but often I would sneak into my daughters room and put my head close just to make sure that she was breathing.

    It is really scary when you think that someone has passed in their sleep.

    Now, both of my children snore, so I have no worries....
