This Mustapha is full of surprises. True, I noticed he was refusing crickets but I didn't think it was that time yet. I woke early this morning to find him drinking from his dish, and his abdomen pretty much doubled in size! He has 2 or 3 old suits in his cave now and I donno how to get them out without disturbing him. Smithy on the other hand, drags hers out for me to discard on her behalf. Lol.
Poor Smithy, she needs a bigger home now. And we're way overdue a photo session. I've been so busy lately I've barely had time to even sleep. This will be my last full weekend off for about six weeks. I should get her set up!
Chris was saying the other day how Mustapha's personality has changed. It sure has. He's no longer skittish. I bet he doesn't run away because he knows that he's big and scary. Of course, he ran away this morning when I tried to get a picture but that was probably because Chris was closing the front door on his way to work and it's right under the terrarium. It was more likely the vibrations than my measly presence!
I need new bugs too. I'm still considering breeding but I'm not sure I want the noise, hassle or smell.
Chris wakes up with his alarm set to the sound of crickets. Just train the real ones to sing on cue already! :P
