For the past week, I have been disconnecting the Mistking and dripper and basking light at night, and carrying Piko in her cage to the bathtub. It's been so cold that I didn't want to leave her outside.
Checking the temps on my iPad just now before heading home, and was so happy to see that it will be 50 tonight instead of 45. Yay! So, I can leave her outside.
Believe me, I don't resent all this carting about. It has just been a bit difficult getting the cage back outside in the morning, hooked up, and still having time to shower and get ready for work, and not be late!
Tomorrow, I'll let her out for a bit of free ranging, where she will no doubt still head straight for the fence and from there she likes to think that she can reach the pepper tree, and then freedom! Luckily, however I watch her like a hawk, and head her off if she gets too close to the edge of the fence. They are much more cunning than we think, these little buggars, aren't they!
