Bad Skippy!  You must always bring the camera! We'll decide your "pun"ishment later. What a great day outside. Bugs everywhere.

i went and got the camera out of the car:
male & female 
male & female on the bed so you can see the size difference 
the girl is less squirmy 
you can see a little battle scarring on her neck here

Nice find.  You'll probably spoil them.

i'm hoping to spoil their babies
i'm going to give them a week to acclimate before i try to feed them but i'm looking forward to working with them. |

OMG. I had Poison Oak once for 3 month once. It would not go away. Noting helped!!! I finally went to do some research online and found Zanfel on the internet, it went away within two days. http://www.zanfel.com/help/ |

Great finds, Skippy.
Sorry to hear about the poison oak. Luckily it doesn't affect me. One of the beneficial mutations that makes me even more amazing. lol Seriously, though flipping a pair of mating Charina is a very nice find. Nice job!

we were very proud.
as a bonus, the male ate a pinkie yesterday! i usually don't get it too bad as long as i get home in time to take a shower but that branch whipped me good and even though i washed it as well as i could... |
