Sorry I'm late! Adaorand, ...feeding hatchlings can be difficult,but if you put a banana peel of some kind of fruit outside long enough to get a culture of fruit flies going,hopefully your little critter will eat them. What are you keeping it in? I would advise setting up a terrarium with some live plants in it. The leading cause of death is dehydration,and they drink droplets off of leaves typically. If the fruit flies are too much trouble call around your local pet stores and see if they have pin-head crickets. a little while back,I had my male out of the enclosure and the sneak went up my arm to my shoulder and then up on top of my head...then he jumped...to someplace I didn't see. I searched and searched,but couldn't find him. A week and a half to two weeks later he turned up after I'd thought for sure that he'd be a crispy critter...and he was pretty close to it. He's back in good health now that he's re-hydrated and fed,so that's a load off my mind to say the least! Sad part is that after he'd been missing for so long,I'd purchased a new male to keep my female company,and you can't keep two males in the same tank,so my new guy is alone in a different enclosure now(poor fella). Before his great escape,the first male got frisky with the female so in due time I may have some hatchlings of my own! Edited to say HI to Purp. HI PURP!! Mn is right. I sent you an email recently and I'm not sure if you got it or not. Hit me up when you get a chance! Thanks chick! :) This post was edited by asleep_in_the_garden on Thu, Jul 10, 14 at 21:26

Huh, interesting. I've not seen - or at least paid attention - to these. Here's the first I found that has a metal base and an insert. RE: it being silverplated, do you mean the whole thing? Or just parts? I can see maybe the 'pewter/brittania' gray parts, there is some shine to the outermost edge. But there's no evidence of any residue anywhere on the body like it wore off. What I'm trying to say is the metal is quite clean as-is. (Tho something did throw me a bit. The base looks brass, but if you look at the underside of the base, it's got patina like copper and under the patina is both gold and hints of copper. Thought that was odd.) Unless somebody did something to strip the plate off intentionally?

Cute little tootsies! I'd recognize that view any where. Harry sleeps with his feet facing us. Love Harry; love his feets! LOL Dogs sweat through their feet; thus the salty/Frito smell.

OMG! What?? I won??!! Oh joy!!!!!!!! I finally got one right!! It WAS sorta a lucky guess, I had seen your pictures of the sunflowers (loved the brown/rust one BTW) and when I seen this thought it was one. So I actally managed to put 2 and 2 together and come up with 4! LOLOL
