Been a while since a ~pet picture roundup,~ so why not.
Bella wants boba. Bella wants the boba that I have so bad.
Curled up as small as she can.
Berry Mad, mighty hunter!
Alex sent me this picture, lol. Toad Butt!
One more of Guava Splash climbing their plant!
(Most of the Guava Splash pictures were in the last post, ha.)
A picture of Greenbean 2, eating her green beans! (Took this one to try and do a good size comparison.)
I had initially said that maybe Greenbean 2 was maybe a male, because the back end didn't look as prominent as the previous female katydid we had last year. However, in the last couple weeks, the ovipositor has gotten a bit more obvious. Greenbean 2 is definitely a female. :)
She has also remained very quiet; she hasn't made a single click. She is very calm in general; not terribly reactive even when we do reach into her cage to give her her beans or change out the climbing branches.
And now there are three katydids! Just a couple days after finding Greenbean 2, Alex found another katydid on the sidewalk outside. This one is clearly a male, but he is very fussy, lol. He seems to think that literally every single sound is another katydid moving in on his territory, so he sets off with a flurry of clicks. (Pouring cereal, clinking dishes, and crinkling packaging are all very exciting sounds for him.) Due to that constant clicking, Alex named him Clickbait.
Then just last night, Alex came in with yet a third katydid. This one is another male, and I named him Three. He's much less aggressive about posturing, haha. He's temporarily in the old spider terrarium until we get another of the mesh cages, but he settled right in to clicking and eating his green beans.
Clickbait and Three are providing excellent clicks in stereo.
One more of Greenbean 2. :)
This one is clickbait!
Clickbait again, with his partially-eaten green beans.
And here's Three. :) (Mediocre picture from after getting him set up last night.)
Jaspurr! With his one little toof that sticks out.
Attack!
Slightly more dignified.
And then...
While I was spending time over at my mom and Taylor's house, they also ended up with a brand new pet.
Their neighbors rescued a garter snake from the window well of their church and brought it home. The neighbor said she thinks this might be a female, though it's hard to tell.
We had a garter snake for about twelve years or so, but he died several years back, and they still had the terrarium setup from before... Mom went back and forth on it for a while, but ultimately decided that she would like to have a snake again.
She's so cute!
Exploring!
She does like the water.
So cute.
Still exploring!
Jaspurr finds her very interesting to watch, ha.
So there's the critter collection! :)

Just one more of Bella, because I'm always posting pictures of Bella
