    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi, I've had a couple of juvenile G. prasina since September of this year. Seller didn't know the exact age at the time of sale. Both have been doing fairly well lately and are currently housed in a 36x18x36" CCC tank.

My question is related to burrowing. Since moving into the new tank my pair have been doing this quite extensively and have completely eschewed the use of cork rounds. Is this typical for the species? Is it indicative of stress or unsuitable hide placement? If there's a way to gently encourage them to use the hides that would be ideal, as the burrows make it quite difficult to check on them.
