Mona is totally kicking ass...

Mona is totally kicking ass at our hide-and-sleep game tonight.  I absolutely cannot find her.  I am seriously considering just shutting the door and letting her sleep where ever she is.  I'm sure she wouldn't complain.  The question is... Will she wake up without her heat light coming on?

I have to go and look one more time.  😬

Now that my bugs are all (hopefully) snug...

Now that my bugs are all (hopefully) snug... I think I'll bring my dog in out of his nest and call it a night.  🙂

I feel better about this setup... I have a tote inside a tote with two heating pads stuck to the inside tote with aluminum tape (which is nifty stuff, btw).  And two fleece blankets stuffed between the totes to help insulate the inner one.  For good measure I also folded up an extra blanket that I wasn't using and put it on top of the outside tote.  Hopefully I have not created a fire hazard.  😂  Time will tell.  Can't wait to see what the thermometer reads in the morning!  I hope that some of what I've done was effective!  I don't want my roaches to be cold!

P. S.  Think of me what you will, but I'm totally digging listening to them scuttle around at night.  😃  I like it!

P. S. Again:  When I moved them into their new tote I found one of the girls upside-down in the egg crate.  I think she'd been trapped like that.  🙁  She was alive so I put her right side up in her water crystals.  She was totally thirsty.  I hope she is ok!  ❤

Just went shopping for my roaches!

Just went shopping for my roaches!  I have been convinced for DAYS that they are cold so I bought them some blankets, a new tote, and some foil tape so that I can secure the heating pads where I want them.  Also a thermometer so I'll KNOW that they are staying warm and stop freaking out.

I don't half-ass take care of anyone.  I put my whole ass into it.  😃

Holy cow. Yes - the wind and rain sound scary.

Holy cow.  Yes - the wind and rain sound scary.  But I think my dogs are being unnecessarily freaky about it.  😐

Calm down, dogs!  At least the trees have been trimmed.  You'll have a roof over your heads tonight.  Can't promise that you won't wake up swimming, though.  😛

I have received two good newses tonight. 😃

MOAR ROACHES!

MOAR ROACHES!

Look at all the ladies! 😃 I think some of them might already be knocked up. Their abdomens are large and they keep squishing a white thing out of their butts. Not babies yet - maybe the oothica? 😃😃😃


Let's play a little game of "spot the dog."

Let's play a little game of "spot the dog." There IS a dog in this photo. He's not coming to me and I don't know how I'm gonna get him out of his nest. 😂 I REALLY don't want to leave him out today because it's gonna rain. Damn. 😳
