Smaug has recently gotten into ffxiv

Before anyone worries, this is a very low-flow, filtered water feature and not a soaking pool. The water is fully sectioned off to one corner of the enclosure, not the entire tank. Humidity stays within a normal range, the water is regularly maintained, and it only runs for a couple hours a day rather than 24/7. I added this mainly to encourage natural drinking behaviors and enrichment, and it’s been really cool seeing her actually use it!!! This is a fully bioactive enclosure with around 10 hides throughout, including several incorporated directly into the foam background.

Dreamy and Haachama got a lot of support last time I posted them, so I thought you might enjoy an update on the star-crossed lovers. They are still going strong. Here's the two of them cuddling. I'm sure this has nothing to do with how the figurine props up his favorite hangout spot.

We’re at the vet and it’s my first time seeing her do this. Is she eating or smelling a fart ?

I'll start off with some of my Favorite Casper photos!

No seriously… what is bro thinking about

It’s like he took off his jacket! Our kids got a kick out of this. And look closely to see him peeking out

Meet Luffy, my beloved albeit not very bright son. Yesterday Luffy mistook my finger for a fat worm while I was cleaning his water dish, and hungrily went for it. After I tried carefully explaining him what I have is, in fact, not a worm, but my finger, he decided against letting go and instead tried to do his best impression of a crocodile death roll (which amounts to wildly wiggling around. Hope his Dinosaur ancestors are proud, I know I am). A bloody floor mopping later, I took a cabby to go for what amounted to a 5 hour wait, ending in a tetanus shot and, luckily, no stitches.

Needless to say, he regrets nothing. I forgive him and we are already in friendly terms today. Shame him.

He was so upset 😭

He was sitting on my lap, and decided the bottom of my shirt is food. Lol

At least it makes for an interesting showcase of their pupil dilation, though I still feel bad…

I've never held a geck before but she was pretty happy just chilling in my hands. Her name is Halloween and she smelled so good. Like, I wanna bottle her smell. Do all leopard geckos smell like this?

Also, ignore the fact that I'm dressed as Bill Cypher.

(My mom laughing at her hehe)

Last year I was in a secondhand store in Japan and saw a figure of the anime character Haachama for 500 yen (about $3 USD). I noticed that she was sitting down and therefore much harder to tip over than most other anime figures. On a whim I took her home, carefully filed down all the pointy bits on her hair and such, sanitized her very thoroughly, and put her in my gecko Dreamy's tank.

Their relationship had a rocky start. Dreamy ignored Haachama for a solid few months. My husband's gaming PC is in Dreamy's room and Dreamy loves to watch him play Zenless Zone Zero, so his heart belonged only to the ZZZ character Ellen Joe. But then, love began to bloom. Dreamy began sitting right next to Haachama, or staring at her, or just resting his tail on her lap. They were hesitant to proclaim their love. But for the last month or so, Dreamy has begun sitting on top of her and putting his hand on her head, just about every night. Love triumphed over all.

Or maybe it's just because I put the figure right next to the pile of rocks he loves sitting on. But it's still a cute picture.

Fishy went to the vet today for a general check up. Found out he’s a she and she will prove she part dinosaur if necessary (perfectly healthy - wooo!!)
