Hey there,
Name's Starla and I am the proud mama of a 5 year old Hermans named Sam.

Sam lives in a rather large Visioncage enclosure (no substrate, I use large towels that I mist and change regularly) that has hideaway logs and flat rocks aplenty. He gets outside in the backyard for some sun (Yes, sun. SF isn't always as foggy as people think;)) as much as I can (lately it's been every weekend) since I work & go to school full time. Even so, he's always hanging out with me even when Im slaving away on my homework (he loves to think he can play on the laptop too!) or watching the tele (he loves Flight of the Conchords!) He eats a diet of dark leafy greens such as collards, dandelion, some kale, and every now & then wild blueberries. I also add dried timothy hay daily to his food dish since he gobbles up the greens in no time...

Cheers!

I want to know, how does any homework get done with such a cute distraction "helping" you do it? :D I know my guys can get me to forget about reading a book and instead enjoy them.

Welcome Starla! Can't wait to see some pics. Not of Sam, some of that Sunny SF weather. I lived in San Jose for 21 years and probably visited SF maybe 25 times or so. Only once was it sunny :)

I was raised in S.F. and lived there for about 20 years. The good weather depends upon where you are in the city. It really is sunny most of the time, but along about 5p or early evening the fog starts rolling down the mountains and just engulfs the city. My sister lived there even longer than I, but she's a little under the weather right now otherwise I'm sure she'd have some S.F. stories to tell you. And please DON'T CALL IT FRISCO!!!:p

Oh, I forgot the reason I posted in this thread: Welcome to the forum, Starla!!
