Recently my wyfe and I have added to our pets. We each have hermit crabs on our respective desks. Hers are named Bowie and Hermie. Mine are Compo and Clegg. Hermits are nocturnal which makes them sorta interesting as they are most active when I am sitting at my radios and computer. I will have to post some pics at a later time. Right now I am trying to get the humidity up in my tank. It is currently about 75% and I would like to see it a bit higher. The temperature is good, stable around 80 F. I have some more tank essentials coming soon. Things for them to climb on and some spare shells for them to use as they get bigger.

We also have 4 cats, each of which has a story. Mote is our oldest at 7 years. He is a grey tabby. His mother, Mabel, left him on our back porch the day before she got killed by a car. We took him in and bottle fed him until he was ready to eat solid food. Mote is cuddly but only on his terms. Marley is Mote’s nephew. Marley looks like Mote except he is bigger … a lot bigger. He weighs almost 30 lbs. He is 6 years old and a real love bucket. Mayhem and Foggy are both 3 years old and from the same litter. Mayhem is a sweet little girl who is a very pretty torti and has a lot of personality. Foggy is a 3 legged turbo charged cyclone. He had to have one of his back legs amputated at a young age because someone kicked him (I have my suspicions but can’t prove it) and broke the leg at the hip. He gets around very well and is lively and entertaining.

That is my list of terrestrial pets. I will post pictures at a later time.
