Choco just shed, so I don't know what his problem is...Maize is fine. This little "cuddling" incident actually made me a little nervous tonight- it almost looked like Koko was going to take a bite out of Mr. Toad. But he didn't. Buttercup, who has been a reluctant eater all summer, has turned into a little porker now that she is stuck eating "bad" grocery store produce rather than healthy weeds that she grazes for herself (due to the weather). Fagalo woke up a couple days ago, and I fed him a couple nightcrawlers and soaked him, and weighed him (gained four grams in brumation!) and sent him back to sleep in his hibernaculum...

The coolest thing is how Zee takes the mice and bites them in the center- envenomating them, and finally when he is sure they are dead (they already were!!!) he swallows them head first. He's so cool.
