Still growing! Unfortunately I've taken on a new job with much longer hours so my schedule has changed, and apparently Kalypso's schedule has changed with it. I don't get to see her nearly as often as I had been, but she usually comes out to see me before I leave in the morning around 5:30am. On my days off I have to tease her out of her den with some food, otherwise she doesn't really come out much when I'm home.
I accidentally killed most of my fiddler stock. I was trying to find somewhere out of the way to store them. Ended up putting them on top of the tank behind the light, beside the fan. They were fine Friday. Saturday afternoon I went to grab one and the critter keeper was dry, and all the crabs dead. They couldn't have been dead long, didn't smell, and I'm sure at least most of them were running around as I heard their little feet scuttling about (should have realized the thing was dried out) when I was messing with the tank. I froze them so as to not waste them. Moral of the story... don't leave open top clear containers near light and wind if you want to keep them moist!
Alayna tells me she has seen Kalypso tinkering with the screen and tape a few times when I'm not around. A few nights ago I was feeding her and she decided she was more interested in my hand and where my hand came from. We seriously thought she was going to come over the side of the tank, Alayna was shouting, "Close it! Close it!" as Kalypso's arms are about halfway over the side and down the outside of the tank. So, as a precaution I got some velcro tape. I'm going to line the inside lip of the tank top with it to deter her from investigating too much more. Due to her curiosity and strength I'm pretty convinced I'm going to have to build a heavy frame to put around the top front and sides of the tank to support the screen and duct tape, not to mention it will just look much nicer.
