Tessie found a dubia once

She found a roach in her hidey ONE time, and now she stares at her hidey, multiple times a night, apparently just waiting for one to suddenly appear.

I love her and her single brain cell.

Tessie is my first CG. I’ve had rankins before and loooved. I was hoping she’d be a little more social when I first got her a year ago. Since then, I’ve backed off on trying to handle because neither of us were enjoying the experience. I’ll still feed her Pangea from a spoon so we bond over that.

I was feeling a little bummed recently that I’ve built such a lovely life for her and never get to see her use it… so I got a night vision camera and I’m OBSESSED. Fr, I went from feeling disenfranchised to staring at every 10 second clip of her tail moving, and subsequently squealing.

Mine spends so much time on his rock perch waiting for a cricket because he caught one there once ☺️ at first I felt bad for not giving in, he’d spend HOURS there. But it’s a baby and needs its cgd too !
