    He did it! He did it! He finally shed again

    I got him out this morning, to see what he was doing and found him like this:
    Shed 9-2-12.jpg

    So I got that pic, and put him back up. Looked over about 20-30 minutes later and he was done!

    So there is his shed, and his new pretty skin pics

    Now he's huuungry, so he's going to eat today, and I'm going to try and give him a night crawler. He hasn't had any night crawlers yet, but I think today is a good day to try it Going to give it with some fish, worked with no problem with the pinkies.

    I love the first pic, like he's wearing an old elizabethan type collar.
