It is sad for you and for Lilly, but you understand that it is part of life and can grieve and recover. The plus side is that Lilly is learning to do the same, just like you and I did, so that when she loses someone close to her, she will have the coping skills to grieve and recover.

to you both (and Terry!)

Had Lily with me. Explained to her that her kitty had to go to heaven.

My first kitty went to heaven 5 years ago. She was the one who taught me about the nervous system. Saying goodbye to kitties is always hard, even if to them we are merely staff.

Sour, would you please take your broody GPS and commence the broody dance in the direction of sourthern WV? Mini and I would greatly appreciate it!!!

I don't even have chickens!!!! The leopard geckos at my school laid fertile eggs and now I have to find an incubator!!!

 

[theotherranch]

Blue, we all know how accurate Sour's GPS is(NOT!). And the fact that his dance works on reptiles is further proof that they have a common ancestry with chickens! Or (scarey thought), it might not be even that particular???
But I can offer you a bator if you need one!

Thanks Sir Perry,

Hoping we can find one by tomorrow... on the plus side, I get to decide if we should have males or females since sex is determined by incubation temperature. Could you imagine if we could do that with chickens?

 

[theotherranch]

Blue, if you can figure out how to do that, all of your oceanic field trips could be done in high style!!!!!!!

No kidding Perry! I could just imagine Blue in a new deep dive sub with a built in bathysphere section. Just imagine the specimens she could collect. I know Sour would just love to meet some of her new lovelies.

 

[theotherranch]

Yeah, JD, she could be better equiped than Jacques Cousteau ever was! And he done good!

 

[JD4570]

Could you imagine being equipped with a huge pressurized holding tank for the specimens? Talk about kicking it up a notch!

Just how deep are the moats anyways? Life in the kingdom is a little like being in a pressure cooker at times, but that doesn't affect the moats much.

I'm curious, blue - what temperature range do the gecko eggs incubate at? We found a bunch of Anole eggs in weeds growing in some bulk potting soil a number of years ago. We put them, along with the weeds, in an unused aquarium in a corner of our kitchen - really high-tech incubation, that. They all hatched over the course of about a month. Those little guys were so cute!
