| Snakies: um what do I write here? Do I say that my husband won't let me have a snakie?? And Do I tell you that one of my ex-husbands had a collection of snakes? Among that collection were 3 Sidewinders, 1 Great Basin, 1 Mojave Green, 1 Emerald Tree Boa, 1 California King, 1 Red Race better known as a coach whip...do i tell ya that? there was quite a reflection of the Adams family in tht home 2 Senegal Chameleons....the pet store loved us.........2 Emperor Scorpions....1 newt.....a burrowing owl...1 Pacific Brown Octopus....a Clown fish and an anemone.....couple Riticulate pythons 3 red tail boas. and Gunther... .......ah....Gunther........a Savahna Monitor Lizard. Big lizard I told them that over at the apartment complex. I was cleaning our duplex and using bleach so I put the lizard on a leash out front and went about to finish this task. I went out front and he was gone.....Oh...that can't happen. I went around the corner and asked if they had seen a big lizard. They said no. I didn't see anyone else so I went home. About 3 minutes go by and I hear this blood curdling scream. They found Gunther. See he is 6 foot long and the size if a small gator. They thought I meant desert lizard. He had made his way in this woman's house and crawled under the fridge.... I have owned great birds. At one time we got a burrowing owl and it was very young. In time he would scoop up the crickets we would toss him. Gobbling down a mouse he was a sight. i love critters |

| The day the octopus went for a walk.... **Wow thats neat!!!**....the tapping sound in the aquarium section was a pacific brown octopus trying to get the attention of someone to feed him...He would stick a tentacle up out the lid and rattle it. So, we bought him...Smart critter.. He looked good with the clownfish and the anemone we HAD in the salt-water tank. Soon, no clown fish and the anemone died. King Octo we will call him for the purpose of this as I don't remember his name now. There is a big shell for him to creep into. Its pink and white. We drop a small crab in for him to eat. One of the 8 tentacles he has comes out to find it...fishing around..then it is dragged into the shell. On completing his meal King Octo kindly puts the waste by the suction valve in the tank...He was a very tidy creature.. One day we dropped a crab in...No tentacle...hmm checked the shell..hmm no King octo...Turns out there was a slot big enough in the filter system for him to slide out. He was stuck to the back of the stand...now a former King Octo...... Lock down your octo well or they will go for an 8 legged walk. |
