hey guys, so i have been sick the past 3 days and 2 weeks prior to this illness i was in the fucken ICU for some retarded life threatening bacterial infection. pretty crazy, i have also been working hard on my chopper project and haven't done anything crazy with my GTP's, not to mention that i have been working 6 days a week and i actually forgot i had blogs to write in! wtf..
anyway, here is an update. all my animals are 100% well mostly.. Atom O and Luna, my two Aru locals are still fighting internal bugs, but they are eating great and are very healthy and alert. lets see.. Kronos had a shed recently. a small patch of stuck shed on his head remained but i removed it with some eye drops and a damp paper towel. Gorgeous George had a really bad shed. about 10% or his old skin slaugthed off but the other 90% remained. total bummer. so i took a 3 gallon tub and saturated a hand towel with warm water, laid it in the bottom of the tub. then i set Gorgeous George in the tub and covered him with another saturated warm hand towel. put a lid on the tub and let him sit covered in wet towels for a little under 24 hours. about 4am this morning i checked on him and he had worked through the wet towels and the rough texture of the towel removed every bit of dry skin. my lights don't turn on until 9 am, when i'm at work, so i didn't get a chance to see him until i got home. but when i checked and saw all his old skin removed i left the top off so he could climb up to his perch. however, when i got home, he looked amazing. seriously the best he has ever looked! i couldn't believe how beautiful he was like a drop of the most pure lemon/ lime, simply stunning. sorry no pictures. :( every one else is doing great. i have a new acquisition that should be arriving in 3 weeks and i'm pretty stoked about him. other than that its bills, chopper and snakes..
Oh, i also got some tropical pitcher plants for my apartment. 6 total, and i'm pretty stoked to add some greenery to the place. not to mention the added kool factor of them being a carnivorous plant AND they will take care of all the bugs that may find themselves into my place. pretty excited about that.
pictures to come, stay tuned! swear it wont be long before another update. :)
