Care and observations

The Floor Mummy Escape: This eel will actively test every single millimeter of your tank's lid. If there is a hole larger than a coin, it will slither out in the middle of the night and turn into a dried, crispy mummy on your living room floor. You must literally duct-tape or weigh down the lid with bricks.
