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

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?
Nah it survived and lived for a good bit longer. I think it pushed the cheap lid/light combo off of its tank.
They are very hard to kill
Steven Seagal is an eel?
You can’t prove that he isn’t!
Did it survive?

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

Jon seems really, really strung out.
Well yeah. He's not allowed to have a cat in the apartment
Source since the bottom was cropped off for some reason
farfgeld is sending me
Thanks. I did not get it from the source.
why do I remember this as him dumping it in the tank and shouting but the eel is dead?
