Much better.

Snapped a couple quick pics before feeding the Worm today. The loose skin around his neck looks worlds better. In these pics you can't even really see it...just a slight crease...but nowhere near as extreme as it was when he first arrived. I've been catching him in the act of exploring the past couple days (allthough when he realizes he's been spotten, he runs and hides...heh). And he ate today with a fury. So, I'm thinking he's probably just fine.

And check out that second pic! He flicks his tounge so fast, there are TWO in the photo!!!

It seems like whenever I handle Tweek, if I move his furnishings around, he spends a bunch of time checking out the entire container/habitat. That may be a tip to get Worm active; just move his stuff around.

I like his blue eye(s). Here's my baby that only has one blue eye...

Beautiful. Huskies are my all time favorite dogs. So wild looking.

Aren't they great? I read that Texas Rats "freeze" when they are startled... and that's exactly what MacLeod does. He freezes and then ever so slowly, he backs off.

The other day, Mac was "swimming" in his dish. The thing is, he didn't get his whole body in, just his head and the first 1/3. He was "swimming" around and the part of him that wasn't in the water was flopping all over the place. Then, he'd stick his head out of the water and look at me as if saying, "Are you looking at me? Are YOU looking at me?" He does a great Robert DeNiro impression!!! Then he went back to "swimming".

Worm looks AMAZING!
