No, I think that lump is a LEG! Note how it's eyes have moved to the top of it's head. Four days later, she has shed her skin, leaving her tail looking like a Labrador puppy's. She is absorbing the tail, and she gets nutrients from it, so she won't eat until it is absorbed. The other tadpole. No real development here. For the moment, I'm calling it Pee Wee Herman. Note the egg tooth on the end of its beak. The kids got to watch them hatch, too! http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/the-one-where-i-shock-my-readers/ http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/the-one-where-i-shock-my-readers/#comments Fri, 17 May 2013 12:57:15 +0000 becomingcliche http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/?p=3450 ]]> http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/the-one-where-i-shock-my-readers/feed/ 61 becomingcliche Pyxis planicauda. One of the rarest of the Malagasy dwarf tortoises. Critically endangered. Hatched this week. You're welcome. Ears are closed He is the only one who's not black, so he is usually referred to as "White Boy." I call him Vanilla Ice and expect he'll play that funky music. At the lunch counter Black puppies are hard to photograph! This is the little one. He's tiny, and he doesn't have a fingernail polish mark on his head. Small? Unmarked? I call him Bill. http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/3445pricklypearisthedevilswork/ http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/3445pricklypearisthedevilswork/#comments Tue, 14 May 2013 15:33:31 +0000 becomingcliche http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/?p=3445 ]]> http://becomingcliche.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/3445pricklypearisthedevilswork/feed/ 45 becomingcliche Giant spines.
