Watching Tetra eat...

I watched my asian vine eat today. It was almost terrifying to see her tiny, thin little body stretch like that, but the lizard was gone in no time! No problems were had and I was amazed. It's definitely different from watching my corn eat a meal.

And in no time, it was gone.

Look at her colors when she's stretched out after her dinner. It was so cool!

Well, just thought I'd share. I thought it was neat, so I thought you guys might too :]
 
Oh of course! Since Tetra is a secret to my whole family except for my mother, I love uploading pictures of her, since this is the only place I can show her off lol
 
Beautiful!!!!

It's actually a defense technique they use. If you look at pictures of an Asian Vine in a defensive pose...

they stretch their bodies out vertically to showcase the colors between the scales, in addition to making themselves look larger.



EDIT: Sorry... didn't mean to steal attention from your lovely lass.
