Just for curiosity's sake, I'd like to get an 'official' record of War's size. But I don't know how to do that. Get someone here to look at the tape measure with me? Hmmmm, maybe try and photo him with a ruler next to him...it would have to be in the tub, and when he is dozed off, since if he knows a stranger is here, all bets are off. He wouldn't relax then.



I have been reprimanded by tc5000 (in a nice way) for skirting the issue of how to set up this new person's monitor. If tc thought this, maybe others have as well...



The truth is, the more time goes on, the less confident I am that I am taking care of my animals properly. So who am I to step right up and say "Well, this is what you do..."



My female has only nested twice out of seven pregnancies. This is bad, BTW. The male has health issues (his eyes). I have been humbled and shamed by all the dead hatchlings I have failed to raise. I cannot figure out the substrate issue. (I need to balance their needs with keeping it CLEAN and dealing with explosions of ants, spiders and mites.) I don't know whatever happened to the nice rudis I had that only crapped in the water basin, but when they moved to the new cage, they crap and pee everwhere BUT the water basin. Oooo, newspaper looks better all the time. (just kidding..)

I have also typed a ton about my rudis, and its all archived on this board and the other. I now think its best to tackle all our problems on our own, surely everyone's are different.



I wish the original poster luck and lots of fun with her new rudi.
