Cucumbers

[swfloridareefer]

Drove up to Tampa yesterday and picked up part 2 of my package. Felt like a kid on XMas when I saw all the stuff in the boxes. Will post pics later, but have a question on cucumbers. I got 2 with my package. Both barely moved until this morning. Now one of them is on the glass and moving a little, the other is still laying still. Are these things known for not moving for long periods of time or is he likely dead? he is in a bit of a tougth spot to reach and I would rather stay out of the tank unless I he is dead.

sometimes they act funny, any signs of damage? any thing hanging out the end (guts) ?

if no to the above I'd give it a day or two.

same with the climing, somethimes they go looking for stuff...

No signs of damage or anything. Just lying there not moving.

The other one is beginning to move around more. Stuck it's head in the sand for a few minutes, now it is back on the glass curled up in a circle.

Normal cuke behavior...they can take weeks to get active after being boxed up....if a cuke dies, you will know it...they turn into a pile of white snot!
