Mr Morton eats a worm.

So my very expensive trip to the Vivarium played out nicely when they told me Mr. Morton wasn’t too tiny to eat worms, I just had to cut them in half. So yesterday, Mr. Morton basically ate his own body weight’s worth of earth worm. The reason it’s sticking out of his mouth like that is because his stomach is totally full. It took him about 10 minutes to finish it. Honest to god, Morton the Hutt is *such* an apt nickname. I freakin love this thing.

My girlfriend surprised me last night with a new frog! (She knows me too well.) Mr. Morton is a pacman frog, which I’ve always wanted one of because they’re funny and neat. He’s really tiny right now, less than 2″ across. (I say across because they tend to be as wide as they are long.) They get to be pretty damn big though, an adult pacman frog can be anywhere between 6 and 12 inches across! Right now he eats crickets, but eventually he’ll eat mice. How fucking awesome is that?
