The best thing about humans is that we don’t see things the same way, this spring my wife showed me her first flowers, the first thing I saw was evolution, a snail carrying pollen on its way out (one of numerous ways to reproduce) she on the other hand saw the colors and missing petals but missed this extraordinary exchange.

I have a similar relation with Marcia, we can’t all see the same way, otherwise there would be no progression.


Everything I said about my babies applies to my adults, however I do let the humidity go lower 50%-90% seems to me they drink more when the air is less saturated, I think spraying them actually gives them a false sense of hydration, somehow they must absorb some water by the skin? Not sure I am still working on this.

I like the 24-24-24in cages for adults, they seem to feel secure in them and easily access water and food, a single 25w bulb is all the energy this cage size needs, when you have 50 cages this is real budget. I make cheaper and larger cage with 45gallon plastic drums, but they take a lot more space and are only better for feeding.
