When you're not allow to have a cat in the apartment...

When I was a kid I bought an eel from the local Chinese grocery store. We went away one weekend and came back to it dried up and covered in hair on the floor. I thought it was dead because it was so dried out but the thing was still kicking when I went to bag it.

That is a very strange story, but I appreciate you sharing it.

Some things just bring back memories you haven’t thought about in a while 🤷🏻‍♂️

So was it dead after all? How did it get on the floor?

[-] Graphy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Nah it survived and lived for a good bit longer. I think it pushed the cheap lid/light combo off of its tank.

I wish I knew what species it was. If anyone knows what type of live eels they sold in Asian markets in central Illinois like thirty years ago lmk lol

Damn, that's a tough bastard! Says online in "cool damp wet" conditions, they can live for days outside of water. It might have been cool, but I doubt it was that damp!
