Re: Reed-- pics of the boys :-)

Er... Reed? So I put a salamander in the tank this morning along with salmon parts and pinky parts. And the salamander promptly ran away. LOLOL So... will Reed II hunt him down?? Or do I need to go a-salamander hunting?

Re: Reed-- pics of the boys :-)

Yes! Curious LOVES salmon!!





And he is just so darn calm and tame-- he took the pieces right from my hand. These are really nice snakes, Reed did an awesome job with them. Curious actually perks up and comes TOWARD you when you reach in the tank... I'm so used to the Pugets who run away!! Thank you again Reed!

Re: Reed-- pics of the boys :-)

yess i know curious loves salmon im so glad hes eating and comfortable o and about the salamander put him in a deli cup(with a lid) with them and hell eat them if he doesn't then you can always feed them to curious, but reed will always eat fish, o and make sure in the salmon pieces that there arent bones sticking out its ok if there inside (it gives calcium) but it can hurt if its outside, o and once in a while give calcium supplements if hes eating salmon

Re: Reed-- pics of the boys :-)

oh and you could probably put a couple minnows in a shallow bowl with the salamanders and hell eat them

Re: Reed-- pics of the boys :-)

Well, I just went in to peek at them and that darn salamander was drowned in the water tub!! And there is plastic greenery hanging into the bowl-- he could have climbed out-- what a dork. But as I reached in to get him out of the water, Curious came wandering over to my hand so I offered it to him-- he downed it. He is a hoot, Reed, he's so-- well-- curious and outgoing!!!

Reed II did not eat anything today, not even the guppies in the bowl, so will try again mid week.
