sleeping puffers

Post by xrayjeeper83 »

I saw it mentioned and figure wth why not

I dont have any to add as Bloat isnt cute when he is sleeping since he gets a nice unibrow LOL

But everyone post up any pics of a puffer sleeping, that will prove again why puffers ROCK

A Fahaka with a unibrow? I gotta see that... c'mon now. ;)

I have three pictures of Camille and one picture of Ike, my Hawaiian White Spotted toby I had before Camille, sleeping in the substrate. Ike would always blow sand and build a little nest to sleep in, but Camille prefers to find something to perch on... like a rock or veggie clip.

I was gonna say he doesn't look too big, but he has that rubbery look to him which I've seen in bigger GSPs
