It's just part of the hobby. Let's all face it: animals die. Sometimes without warning and for no reason. It sucks. It's hard. It's not fair. But hey, nobody said it was supposed to be easy, or fair. I don't want to sound cold, but if you can't handle that fact, maybe stamp-collecting is a...

Cuuuuuute.

It's a slang term in the first place, who cares if it's mispronounced?

They're really not.

It's possible that she could die from the bombing. Just because she didn't right away doesn't mean she still can't.

Honestly, misting won't really help. Internal moisture is what's important for a molt - and misting doesn't really help the internal moisture of something that can't really drink right now.

SO CUTE. Congrats! Let me know when they're for sale - I gotta have one!

Just looks like it's been kicking hairs, to me.

I'm terrible at ID'ing pokies, but whatever she is, she's gorgeous :drool:

:o Well, I learned something. :D

D'awwww... Lucky little dude.
