New Family Member

iNoel

If Mani taught us anything, she taught watching crickets getting eaten is damn entertaining! After Mani's Funeral, it felt like such a waste to put her house away and unused, plus we had extra crickets. Granted on this diet, I've been hungry at times, but the thought never crossed my mind that I could use them as a food source. Though, dipped in chocolate....okay I'm not even going to think about it. Instead it seemed only natural to visit the pet store and find something else the liked to eat crickets.

The choice was made, a green anole. Though technically not a chameleon, it changes color and by my definition that's close enough! His name, Noel Anole (because we got him around X-mas time). Let me tell you, Santa already visited him too! Not one, but two special lights to keep him nice and warm and his sun tan that extra nice shade of green!

He is a little shy at the moment and doesn't want to eat with us watching. But, it's hard to out smart us, so tonight I setup the video camera and we left the room. Noel has some speed! Crickets beware!
