Chirp... chirp... burp...

My first experience at buying live crickets was interesting. More interesting even than that was dusting them with calcium powder and setting them free inside the geckos' cage. Those lil' lizards can be aggressive when they're ready to eat.

At Petco, I found their display of live crickets in the back... you can't miss it for the chirping. Not knowing which size to get, I chose a bag of regular cricket-sized crickets and a bag of teeny baby ones. I also bought some jelly-like stuff that is meant for watering crickets. Britt had already given me a bag of calcium powder and a bag of cricket food to get me started.

Now Erica's talking about saving up for another tank so she can have a tree frog. I guess the chirping of the frog and the geckos will drown out the sounds of Isaac snoring at night. That boy must need his tonsils out or something; he snores like a freight train.
