    They can last for hundreds of years I beleive. They can go into suspended animation for when their water source dries up. This is the state you recieve them in when you buy them in a shop, adding water reactivates them and they spring to life...

    Wonderful creatures... the females can reproduce without the males if they need too.

    There a bit too high maintenance for me ;)

    Just posted mine today. Oldyellar you said your name is on the tag.... i thought it was meant to be secret


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,230 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    I took it that you find out the secret when you get it :confused:

    Well last year I wrote my name on it and my person wrote their name on mine.
    Suppose it doesnt really make a difference anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Seamonkeys are great. I still have a pack somewhere. But don't worry, whoever I get won't be getting a crusty year old pack of Seamonkeys, rest assured. ;)

    I'll be posting mine tomorrow from work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    I won't be able to send mine until next monday I'm afraid. But If you don't get it by christmas, at least you have something to look forward to.

    I was hoping to get you , so could buy you more ears :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I sent mine this afternoon.

    I didn't have any wraping paper at the time, so I just wraped it in a brown envelope.

    I'm a little bit concerned about the stupidity of the girl in the post office though. I was sending a few things, some abroad, and the overall cost seemed a little bit cheap. And also she had trouble distinguishing between one enevelope and two...

    Grrr... now I'm going to spend the next week or so worrying about all my christmas post... damn you Coolock post office!!!
