Kinda sad though.

Nope, al lpresent and accounted for.  The only thing she killed was a Gobie cause he tried to steal her cave.

  Awesome update Capt, glad to hear your 8-legged friend is doing so well.  I hope she lives an unusually long life under your care.

Eatable?

[allaire]

You know able to be eated.

[Captfish]

Eatable?

Not that I know of. The octopus that people eat are O.Vulgaris Legs is an O.Briareus

[Spikes]

That's freakin sweet man!

She's just trying to lull you into a false sense of security until she gets big enough to take a crack at eating you.

Either that or she's fallen in love with you.

Either of which is equally horrifying.

Wow think about their kids.  They could walk across the ceiling and crack stuff open with their beaks.

Really a very interesting pet.

How do you keep her from climbing out and dropping on the floor?

She demands it! She loves human contact. She has toys she plays with but she loves to play with my hand the most. she crawls all over it, she'll grabs me a play tug-o-war. And sometimes she just sits there and lets my pet her. she likes to be scratched between the eyes.

She probably thinks your hand is a strange 5 legged octopus... or should it be pentapus?

Sweat pet. Octopuses are my second favorite animal after owls.
