…because it tastes better buried?

Now that one type of insanity ends, another begins.   Finals are over, crit is done, but now I have to find a good way to make money this summer, and lots of it.  I’ll be taking out some pretty hefty student loans come August…

Strange things have been happening in the terrarium this past week.  I’ve been trying out some new sources of food for Giger to try and vary his diet from more than just cucumbers, so I left in a grape chopped in halfs, some lettuce, and a little cucumber in case he didnt’ like either.  Now Euler, the big brown one, has never been interested in the food we leave on the surface, and neither has Promethea (who was in my Allston terrrium at the time), but the morning after we left the grapes and lettuce, both grape halves were completely gone, and the lettuce had been half-dragged into a GIGANTIC hole, and partially mangled.  We removed the lettuce from the hole but shortly after, we discovered it had been dragged back in.

I left a bunch of grape halves and a little cucumber that night but they weren’t touched so we removed them later the next day, then I left for school.  That night, Adam discovered a bit of white “webbing” coming out of the hole, and dug it up, uncovering the lettuce AGAIN and a grape half!  Apparently Euler had developed an interest in food… but not eating it, just burying it?!?  This continues to happen–I leave a variety of food underneath their log, and the next morning half of it has been either covered in dirt or dragged into holes. I brought Promethea out Thursday and even she is joining in the game!  I don’t get it… and this has only been happening within the past week.  I do have to wonder if its indicative of some issue that I have just not come across yet.

I also got to go to Paganfest USA a few weeks ago, I’m working on a write up from that but I haven’t really had time to sit down and do it since I’ve been trying to regain my sanity and get some other things done.  I’m still digesting my critique, and there’s been a lot going on with some of my currently running debates.  Soon I’ll have a new “ID Smackdown on Amazon” article. : )
