LB's ***TEMPORARY*** Tank

[LauraCox]

For those of you who have asked... here the link to a video of LB eating a mouse. I guess if you have feelings about mice being eaten then you shouldn't watch it. Here's my short rant about it:
1. For LB who was fed only lean-cuts of meat for the first 2 1/2 years of her life eating WHOLE animals is very important as she absorbs calcium through eating bones.
2. I raise my own mice to use as feeders. This allows me to make sure the mice are treated humanely all the way up until freezing or feeding. This also allows me to make sure the mice have the most nutritional diet. Healthy mice=Healthy herps.
3. So at this point you may ask why I don't just feed frozen/thawed and the answer is: I do. **Most** of LB's food is f/t however while she is recovering from her poor care it's important for her to move around (she is used to just hiding in a corner) and providing her live food certainly gets her on the prowl. I find that by giving her live food she is more apt to go chase it, eat it, and then bask.

Anyway, If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I enjoyed this - - watching the ripples in the water as LB realized something was going on in the tank and having them ripple in to view before her....It would be perfect with the jaws sound track!

I absolutely LOVE your temp enclosure!!!! I can't wait to see what her final enclosure looks like! She's such a lucky little girl to find someone who'll spoil her. ^_^

That video was great. I assumed she would wait for the mouse to get close, but LB was having none of the waiting stuff. I can't believe how little she is for being more than 2.5 years old. Is that normal and if not is she stunted?
