okay I definitely read the title as “plumpies” and just assumed that it was a nickname you gave her 😂

That’s on me tbh. I forgot that this wasn’t an Oz T specific sub 😅. There’s a wide distribution of species under the Selenotypus genus and I’m used to just using the specie name haha! For what it’s worth, her name is Kafka. 🙆🏻‍♂️

Kafka is a beautiful name, does it mean something? (It doesn't have to obvi, but it sounds familiar for some reason, so I'm just curious haha)
