Hi!!!
I was just feeding my Gulf Toadfish and I left the room to freeze my left overs... Well, I walked in to shut the canopy and Puff, my 4" Porcupine Puffer was PUFFED!! Camera happened to be nearby so enjoy!!
That is a 8" starfish under Puff and the tail of my Toadfish.

hahahaha. That is amazing they do that. So cool looking. How long does it take for them to deflate? Does he do it often?

lol great action shot!

Thanks for the compliments! It doesn't take that long to deflate... I'd say about 30-45 seconds...

I have always heard that its not good for puffers to puff puts to much stress on them, I could be wrong though but a hell of a nice shot though.

They really do have some amazing character... My entire family absolutely LOVES him.
Thanks! I don't think it is either, and in the almost year that I've had him, he's only puffed 3 times...
