chinese water dragons

it has taken too long for me to get around to writing this post. but work is screwing around with my hours, again (why does this still surprise me? i'm actually this close to quitting. my mood has plummeted and whatever little bit of motivation i'd worked up over the last week and a bit is totally gone. i just don't care at all for the petty, unorganized, greedy company i work for. i really should quit.) so i haven't had a chance.

we got lizards on saturday evening. green water dragons. two of them.
they are adorable, but i think they are finding it a little hard to settle into their new home. they aren't eating that much and their skin looks healthy occasionally, but the rest of the time is sort of pale and lacking lustre. we need to try to get the humidity up in the tank. it's at 40% and needs to be at 80%, but even spraying it down a few times a day does nothing.
anyway, the two cuties are called yoshi and yoda. they are about a (small) hand long, not including their tales, which are about a foot. we have no clue what sex they are, but we'll find out when they get a bit older.

i'm doing up a website for penelope_stone, but i'm having trouble finding time to work on it. i should be doing it now, but i really needed to update my livejournal. i had news that needed sharing.

yea, it's funny. we got pet lizards, and they need food, so we have temporary pet crickets and locusts. the dudes are picky eaters, though, and will only eat crickets (and a few mealworms). i don't know how to get them to eat new food. we tried them with an apple too; they didn't even look at it. ah well.

i don't really have any other news. bye, then.

[edit] my mood for today is annoyed, which i debated over choosing, but i think i chose right. i'm totally distracted - i forgot to choose a user pic and give this post a title. :sigh:
