Heather - Here's Autumn.
What are you doing, Autumn?
- Getting some isopod cultures set up.
Heather - Oh boy!
I thought you were getting stuff ready for the millipedes.
- Ugh!
I am.
Normally it's isopods. You got isopods stuck in my head because of my top of my container.
Heather - Oh, oops! *both laugh*
Heather - So that's like a soil/bark mix?
- Kind of, yeah. So it's a lot of the bark that... it's just kind of the bottom
of our stuff that we'll put in with them because they like to chew on it.
Heather - Yum!
- Gonna throw in some more soil for em'.
Fun times!
Heather - Just watching you make little homes for the...
for the millipedes.
See? Now I almost forgot what we were making them for.
Autumn - *laughs*
It's a fine art of mixing soil.
- Normally I have it.. Heather - Oh man, they get a big chunk!
That one's gonna get a big chunk.
And there's her... her water that she uses.
It's gotta be special because it's in its own little bottle.
- Yep.
Heather - Why is it so special?
- I don't know. I was given that like two years ago when I started taking care of these guys.
I think we just taped it and kept it so that way nobody like threw it away.
Heather - Oh, okay. It's just regular water isn't it or is it RO?
- It's RO.
Heather - Oh, it's RO. Okay. I was like "What's so special about that water?"
Autumn - It's just a fancy bottle.
Heather - Mhm.
Mmm!
They're gonna have yummy little... looks like almost cork bark nuggets.
Autumn - It is.
Heather - It is cork bark nuggets, okay.
It's the residual cork bark whenever we get cork bark in.
- Might as well use it for something instead of throwing it away.
Heather - Mm-hm.
It looks like you're preparing like food now.
Autumn - Yeah?
Preparing lunch?
Get some sauce in there. No, I'm kidding. it's just water.
- I'm gonna go grab them squash now.
Heather - Ooooh, squash!
All right, so another name for those guys is Smokey Oak...
so they can be called Smokey Oak or Smokey Ghost, and Autumn just hurt herself.
- You know paper cuts? I got cut by plastic.
Heather - Yeah, (Autumn - Horrible.) pa-- plastic cut. Ugh!
There they are.
Autumn - Guess that one's just gonna kinda chill.
Heather - So light-colored!
All ready in their happy little homes!
Look at that.
Boom! And that is how she makes them.
- And then they get checked on twice a week.
Heather - And she gives them more goodies and squash. - Every so often.
- Pieces of greens, isopod food, mushrooms...
Heather - Oooh, yum! Autumn - Strawberries.
Heather - Strawberries? Oh yum!
They're spoiled.
- They won't bite me.
Heather - Mhm.
Heather - Unlike Lisa the tortoise.
- Look how tiny that one is!
Heather - Oh, it's a baby!
Autumn - Little cutie pie.
Heather - Aww!
Look at him! He's on... he's on a roll!
They're on the move!
Look at that!
They're hustling this morning!
Autumn - That one's like "We're on an adventure!"
Heather - Oh yeah, look! He's gonna do laps. There he goes.
So cute! Look at him go!
Look at those little feets!
You have those little light feets.
Oh, she's all done? Oh... oh! That's... oh my gosh! Don't drop those!
- Oh, I won't. Time to put all the new ones up!
Heather - There they go along with all the other ones.
- This one has been up here forever.
Heather - Okay, so everybody buy this little guy first.
Autumn - Where are you buried? Heather - He's... he's buried.
*Heather laughs*
He's somewhere in there. Oh, there he is!
He's like "No! Don't look at me! Don't look at me! It's so comfy."
Autumn - Cool!
Heather - Boom!
