Week 9

There is not much to report this week except some small business. For one thing, I made it rain by getting water from the fish tank and watering down the entire system. Afterwards, I drop one small cricket into the terrestrial camber for our anoleThere is not a whole and it snatched it right away. So I decided to drop another one into the camber and the anole quick went for the pray. I did not do this just because I wanted to though. I drop two cricket down because I recall the anole as being much bigger when I first caugt it and put it into our eco column. Just last week I saw that our anole was getting thin as a stick until I drop a cricket down. Another thing to note is that I drop two cricket down last week and I thing the anole only ate one of the two and the one that escape the predator buried itself into the soil to get away from his sight. While look for our buried crickets I stumbled across some other insects under the soil, but I was unable to identify what they are. They are light brown and very small, aside from that there is no other details I can give. Anyways back to the crickets, I noticed that when I drop two crickets down at the same time, they would immediately start crawling around tying to find an open hole in the soil to bury itself. Unfortunately one of the crickets got caught in the mouth on the anole, but the other one just continue to walk around while the anole slowly digest the fresh cricket. So today, I drop another two cricket, but this time I dropped them down one at a time so that the cricket will not be able to bury itself before getting eaten. In other news our plants continue to thrive and prosper. I would like to think that since everything seems to be doing quite well, our eco system has reach a stage of stability.
In our decompostition, it has become hard to tell if anything happening aside from the fact that there seems to be new roots taking place. The plants are doing well in this area but I can not seen any real growth in them as I can see in the terrestrial camber.
The aquadic section stills seems to be doing well as well judging by the signs of alge taking over our entire aquadic camber. It is getting to the point where it is become somewhat difficult to look from one side and to see the other side of the camber.
