Well I guess the title says it all! And a picture is worth a thousand words!

The Story behind the poop...
Mike and I had decided to take Zoey back to the pet store, because she still had not gone...So I rushed home from work, wrote the vet a letter, and packed Zoey up.
We dropped Joseph off to stay with his granddad for a bit... and Mike and I headed to the store.
When we got there.. I opened the box a bit to make sure she was ok .. and I was greeted with the above image! Boy I have never been so thrilled to see poop!
We headed back home after picking up Joseph. With Zoey back in her tank, I dropped in a few dusted crickets cuz she had not eatten yet today... she gobbled em down quick.. bout 5 of them. She then spent the evening... being happy from what I could tell. Running around, climbing on her driftwood. Looking out at us to see what we were doing.
I started to think... "she really doesnt use her basking area anymore" So I decided to test it.. with the temp gauge right on the rock, I realized the direct temp was 115-120!! Way too hot! No wonder... So I removed a layer of rock and re ran the test.. go the temp down to 100 at the hottest. Zoey decided to come over and check out the temp gauge sitting there. First she tasted it a few times.. Yuck! Then she decided to try and push it off her rock, with both arms.

I must say she gave me a few good photo ops tonite.
She is asleep as I write this. She is tucked up in the back corner, with her nose to the glass. Silly girl!
Anyway Im just thrilled that the day has come.. now if she keeps this up ... *crosses fingers*
I will say the markings on her belly have lightened dramatically.
Night all .. sleep tight :) |
