    tl;dr

    Mini Mini's split quickly, Maxi Mini's do not.

    I think I spoke too soon when I said he was completely healed. That is what I thought but I took an updated picture and discovered that there is a noticable difference in the coloring and there are now new highlights that I didn't see before.

    So here are the updated pictures. Picture #1 is the last picture I posted of it. Picture #2 is the new updated photo.

    Anyone see a noticeable difference?

    I move through about 200 Maxi's every week.

    Don't worry, Maxi's are super hardy.

    Take a razor blade, slice them in half or into fourths.

    Dip in iodine.

    Done.

    It is shriveled, or did something happen to it?

    Looks to me like it is splitting. I might be wrong but I got on it with a magnifier and it looks like the white protruding mouth has a split across it.

    If you click on the picture from last night, you will see 4 tiny white dots but no big glob.

    I'll know more when I get home.

    Click on the picture...then click it again...the picture will magnify enough to see it. If you click it again after that, it will be huge.

    I started another post because this may have nothing to do with the attack by my Angel.
