I got one of these cameras from Amazon during a sale, and hadn't gotten around to installing it (or even unboxing it) until today.
I think I'm going to use it to spy on my torts, two of them in particular: Aretha and Deirdre.
Aretha is an MEP, Deirdre is a Home Hingeback; I think I've seen both of them "farming" worms and pillbugs in their enclosures.
I feed my torts using paper plates, for ease of cleanup and to help prevent the possible spread of pathogens of any sort. I try to feed just enough so that there is a tiny bit leftover the next morning when I switch out the old plate for a new one. Generally, the food from the day before soaks through the paper plate a bit and/or spills over the side.
I have noticed in multiple instances both Aretha and Deirdre, but not the other torts (a Redfoot and 4 Russians), moving the empty plate aside to get at the pillbugs and worms underneath it, enjoying the moisture and leftovers... I've seen these two gobbling down members of their janitorial staff the morning after, but not on the day that I put the plate down.
I feel as though this is nearly tool usage, and would like to get some video to share with the TFO braintrust.

PS - it's possible that they just hear the worms and pillbugs under the plate and are getting hungry, waiting for me to bring them their meals, but I like thinking it's a display of intelligence... thoughts?
