Yikes, bites?!
![]() Now maybe Rick will be a little more careful about trying to get them to do tricks, though. ![]() |

Some new little buddies.
This lovely wolf spider was a big guy, totally unfazed by the photos. ![]() And this tiny guy in the sink was a beautiful bright orange but so little the camera couldn't focus well on him. ![]() And can I just say Rick screams like a little girl every time he finds a hermit crab in the bathroom? hehe |

![]() ![]() Susie, I'm thinking that freak outs over hermit crabs in the bathroom may have some relation to owning dangly parts. |

did you say LOVELY?????
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I found one of those last night too - had to kill it. I felt terrible about it, seeing it wriggle and die, but I felt worse thinking about finding him in my bed. I DID keep a lovely little mouse that lives in our palapa roof in the bathroom though. He fell from it recently and we gently accompanied him back. Now my cats are off limits, poor little baby mouse. Quote:
