Wow! What a pic! I had to look closer to find G's head!!!!


I did the saaaame thing. Not 20 min after putting Kishnah in his tank, he disappeared. Coming back into the room, we couldn't find him. I had read about their Houdini skills but jeeeez! 20 minutes!???!?? Sifted thru the aspen.....finally found him UP in the lip/rim of the lid. The screen has an extra little lip, and he was aaaaall stretched out it. He's (she?) so skinny FD and I could barely see him. We didn't notice him until he started scooting down the length of that side.

Now, before we even try to open the lid to do water, cleaning/poo duty, I ALWAYS crane my head around the four sides of the lid JUST to make sure!

Whew!!! I TOTALLY empathize!!!

You write wonderfully humorously and descriptively - I just have this image of you running around in circles and pulling your hair out - but I can completely understand it - I have 3 baby rankin dragons in a 4 foot viv and I am constantly "losing" one - and there's so much dragon-colored stuff in there for them to hide themselves in/against it's literally "Spot the dragon".

Thank you, Raziel! I hope to write professionally so that's always nice to hear.

Crazy herps... I always know where everybody else is! Heck, the cockatiel won't *let* me lose track of her some days

I thought I could tell you are a writer - have done some dabbling in it myself a few years ago and thought I'd write professionally - alas between kids and herps and other things - no time

My parrot's good to lose in the house - if he creeps off somewhere and I can't immediately find what he's got his beak into - I call him and he'll answer me so I can find him - no chance of herps doing that ...

It would be nice if they would, lol. Even better if they'd just come when you called! Of course I also think it would be nice if herps could purr. Heck, puppies and rabbits should purr too. It would just make the world a more adorable place But coming when you call would probably be more practical.

Writing professionally is a pain even with the time :/ Worth it, I think, but still hard. I've always dabbled and when I got the outline of my novel together I expected to just get it cranked out... Instead it becomes a dysfunctional love/hate relationship that consumes my poor brain! Seriously, how people can come out with a new book every year or so is beyond me! Especially after having to toss out the last 25 pages realizing that they didn't move the story. Urg. And that's not even counting how I've mastered the art of procrastination. I am very impressed with writers who make money. I'd like to be one of those some day. This book by Donna Levin , despite it's doofy title, has been awfully helpful though! I recommend it, even helps you find a bit of extra time here or there for when there's a story in your brain that *must* escape.
