OK I have a few.....
A few years ago I had a female named King Ralph (did know it was a female when I named her!), anyway when I would come home in the afternoon sometimes I would take a nap. At the time she was in a 50-gallon tank that was in my room, and I took the top off to pet her, and forgot to put it back on and layed down to sleep. Well, I woke up, glanced over at the tank across the room and my heart dropped when I saw I left the top off and she was gone!! Well just as I lifted my head off the pillow, something caught my eye, I look over and there she was asleep on the other end of the pillow!!! This turned into a habit afterwards because then everytime I'd leave her out and go into another roon for awhile, I'd come back and see a long tail sticking out from under my blankets!!
She also had a routine every night. She'd come out to eat off her plate on the dining room floor, then walk over to her brother's plate, eat some of his food of course, then go on her way...she'd mosy down the hall, turn into the other bedroom, climb up onto a milkcrate I had and jump up into the shelves where I had clothes folded and lay about 2 shelves up and go to sleep for the night...every night!!
OK, then there is Quazi....one year we brought the Christmas tree in that we bought and he was out in the livingroom....well...we didn't even realize that we hadn't seen him for a little while when all of a sudden when I was putting the lights around the tree and was on about my third cycle around the tree...he catches my eye! He climbed up the base of the tree and his little head was sticking out through the pine needles! I must've passed him 3 times already! (I have a pic of that one!!)...so now every year when we bring the tree up, we let him out and off he goes on his journey up the tree!!
