Free Nibbles


I got Nibbles for a zoology class in high-school and decided to raise him as a pet.  He was six inches when I bought from a small pet store in Valley Park, MO called Andy's Pets.  In his first few months of life he lived at the school in an aquarium I built for him fully loaded with a dry area, wet area, live plants, soil, rocks, a heated rock, and a full spectrum aquarium light.  On the weekends I would carry him to and from school in a kangaroo pocket of a hooded sweatshirt.  Over his lifetime he would live in all kinds of enclosures including a fish-tank coffee table in my living room and a 200 gallon custom enclosure I built for him in the basement.  I wish I could have kept him.  He was a good pet.
