Vids, Pics and Updates Galore!

Apparently, Smithy is not always sugar and spice!Its been over a month since my last post but that doesn't mean nothing has happened! Quite the contrary, we FINALLY moved the beast, aka Mustapha, into his "big boy" tank. We took a video of the occasion, and another of him settling in. Actually we shot a fair few videos that day but these two are the best. The lighting wasn't so great.

We also took a few shots of Smithy (see above, also dark!). Since Mustapha was moving out we figured we'd clean up her "bone yard." She brings her dinner into the hide, and leaves the spare parts in a neat little corner. She likes to dine in!

Unfortunately, she seemed quite agitated, since we lifted her hide up, and was rearing at us. We thought it would be best to skip handling her!

Now that Mustapha has a bigger home, so do the crickets. They were upgraded from a container to his Kritter Keeper. Now everyone has more space!

Soon after the move Mustapha webbed and walled himself into his new hide. I'm not sure if he's going to molt, or if he's cross with us, or what! I hope we see him again soon!
