Do apparantly E. Macrops are trickters. They think they're VERRRRRY funny. :angry:

I found one of the little stinkers lying on the bottom of his cage, curled up, legs all bent....

Man, I thought, that SUCKS! I really like these guys, and one drops dead on me.

When I reached in to pick it out and dispose of it, it shot away from me like a rocket! Actually made me jump.

It wasn't dead at all! Just goofing off at my expense!

900 lashes with a wet noodle! :angry: :lol:

acromantis loves to play dead even if you were to blow on it!

Some species just love to play dead. Glad it turned out okay!

One time when Chloe got startled by my finger, she lept off onto my desk and rolled onto her back with her legs tucked up and her paws tucked in. I poked her, and she was still, but then she kinda went nuts and basically climbed around my hand fifteen times in a few seconds. x3
