I lost a tarantula in my parents house when I was 12, couldnt find it for 3 weeks, my sister found it one day, LOL. That was how my mom found out I had it HAHA. Dad thought it was cool.

I havent stepped in any cat puke in a while YUK!

I had newts as a young one. I lost them a few times. My mom got rid of them. I'm totally cool with lizards, frogs, SMALL snakes (in the distance) but spiders and I are not friends.

hahaha they are incredibly easy to care for, make no noise and you have almost zero chances of stepping in there puke LOL. the last one I had was about 8 years ago. poor thing was eating by a cricket. :-(

GMO crickets? A cricket ate a Tarantulas? I'll never look at crickets the same. LOL

yup... tarantula moulted... they can't move when this happens and well the cricket took full advantage of the situation. the cricket was immediately fed to a chameleon.

My sister had a scorpion until recently, the cricket ate it. Killed and ate. Not enough protein in lettuce lol

:running-chicken: right on, and My "city" cousin thought i was weird as a kid 'cause every time he came over I had a different critter to show him. Mine were more aquatic: frogs, crayfish, dragonfly nymphs, goldfish, guppies, etc. Anything that eats mosquitoes is a friend of mine!

Too bad todays kids don't get their hands dirty like we did.

Ps. I am on the northern limit of the range for the praying mantis. I've seen three in my life... And two were last year... So cool!

I could always make my husband gag when I went to clean up cat or dog puke by just saying. Oh it's still nice and warm. Lol
He would get up before me and would cover up with a paper towel any accidents. Very weak stomach
I once offered him $100.00 if he could clean up the dog

in the yard. With a shovel.
You guessed it. Couldn't do it

Thankfully hubby will clean it up, but does have a weaker stomach than I and if it's of a "certain" consistently I can hear him choking it back. He will also help clean up the dog

too so can't complain. I know my brother-in-law with my niece and nephew would gag BIG time each time they had a poppy diaper and had to change them.
