THANKS EBONY! u r the first to comment on the colors. i'm gonna go to the petstore tommorrow and re-fashion their home on another note, i named arnie after my favorite character from the movie "what's eating gilbert grape." after thinking about it, i remembered that in one of the first scenes, arnie accidently kills an insect (can't remember what kind) and he cries about it and says it was his friend! ha- ironic, huh! MY arnie does not feel bad when he kills insects..it makes him verrryyyyy happy!
