Stay!

I was having some fun today in front of my newt tank playing "chase the finger" with Ladybird. I then realized that this is actually an excellent way to put her where I want her to be for a photo and make her stay still. These are the pictures I managed to snap:

Fun times

LOL! That is great.

Sometimes they get so caught up they start snapping at your fingers.

Heh, I wish I could keep them that still when mine see me. My cynops kind of freak out, even if they've already eaten.

My Cp female used to follow my finger around like that, but she stopped once she got tank mates. She is still the most outgoing of my Cp's, though, coming out of her hiding place to say hi/beg for food when she notices me peaking into the tank.

Interesting, Heather. I think I will hold off on getting her tank mates for now. I kinda like the comraderie I have with her. Plus she already uses every square inch of her 25 gal tank!
