Where did you see a picture of her? On Flickr...or maybe my photoblog? I couldn't figure out why you'd comment on my cat on this forum! heh heh

Does your cat have OCD too? ;^) Patches is obsessed with EVERYTHING.

I'd love to see a pic of her. She sounds so much like Patches!

Both your cats are beautiful. I have a dilute calico and a Siamese myself. I Looooove Cats!

The paludarium looks like it turned out very well. Do you have any shots of the whole thing all at once?

And how's Ren doing?

Hmmm. I can't seem to find one of the whole tank, Chu'Wuti. I'll try to remember to take one - of course, it has changed a little (neverending, isn't it? *LOL*).

But I DO have a picture of both Ren and Michi. I had them in a temporary tank while cleaning the 20-gal. long tank, so I was able to get off a couple of quick shots of them. Otherwise, they hide underneath the wood (in the water area) all day. They are most definitely nocturnal creatures.

Ren's doing GREAT! And she is able to capture her food just fine. She's actually faster on the draw than Michi, who is at least twice her size. And Michi is starting to make froggy sounds - almost sounds like a cat trying to bark - which scares me out of my sleep at night! *LOL* Going to have to get used to that.

Just fired these off real quick:

Again, I still want to do a total rehaul of the setup. I want to go back to my original idea of having somewhat of an island, but need to get better materials (and can't afford to do that right now). The frogs spend very little time on the land, but I will still try to keep some of the land area lower so they can get to their food - they don't seem to want to do much climbing.

I haven't really decided yet what I want to do exactly. But it'll have to wait until I can find a bigger tank anyway. The 20-gal. long tank just isn't tall enough to do much of anything without risking escapee crickets and/or frogs. I managed to find a 10-gal. tank (with a screen lid no less) through Freecycle.org, which I'm using for the crickets. I recently saw a 50-gal. with a stand on there, but had no way of picking it up. I'm hoping something will pop up again on the site, closer to where I live.

By the way, our little one-eyed Ren apparently has her own fan club (complete with co-chairpersons, secretary, treasurer and creative consultant). *LOL*

ROFL!! Ren Rocks!

Now I have a better idea of how everything goes together in the tank--thanks! I think we learn from every design/build, don't we? I know I have! I'm also trying to keep on learning from everyone else. Maybe you need to find a 20-gallon tall, or a 40-gallon tank!

Love the photo of Ren on Michi! They are so cute together!

Aww look at little one eyed ren! He's adorable. I have 2 little toads that just lost their tails, and a taddie whos front legs are justttt starting to pop out. They are most likely bull frogs. It's so cute cuz the little toads are both the size of a penny or smaller.
