Not too sure what Franky is up to so I couldn’t get a pic of her. Sometimes she’s out and about during the day though.

If you look closely in the centre of the photo, you’ll see part of his body which has the yellow legs and the gorgeous orange body with the black bands that these tiger form Aussie ethmo’s are known for

Nah she’s named after one of the aged care residents who threw plant pots and garden gnomes at one of our workers and rips plants out of the garden beds and has a feisty attitude. My young ethmo shares similarities to that behaviour, particularly how she digs holes, smashes the crickets heads at feeding time and is, generally, just as unpredictable and feisty. So her name is Franky, in memory of the aged care resident for exactly that reason. Here’s a pic of her from a couple of months back:
