and he had found that elephant at a thrift shop when we were out and about one day and says I must keep a plant in it. 
I barely water them now and they seem to be a lot happier with me. I am going to go and get a fluorescent bulb for them. It is going to be the CFL bulbs. Any recommendations for which ones succulents need? I was reading and I think they prefer full spectrum and cool bulbs. As for how many lumens and what wattage im a little unsure of. I think they were saying around 30w per square foot but many sites say different things. I have a glass stand in my living room which was my mothers and it has 4 shelves on them right in front of a north window. I know that isn't the best window but it only looks good right there. I have most of my succulents on this stand and have two little fixtures that have little clamps on them that I wanted to put the fluorescent bulbs in to shine on them since they probably don't get enough light as is. Here is a picture of it. I'm switching plants around according to there needs as well. I will shine two of those little clamp on lights to two of the shelves to shine down on them and just need to know which CFL to purchase as I am going to the hardware store today. 
Sorry for the crappy pictures but the sun is making it hard to get a decent shot of it. I welcome any suggestions
