Had to resist the temptation.....

I went in to my fave local pet store to pick up some $1 mice, and noticed they had a roughly 600-700g female. One of my buddies that worked there took her out for me. The whole time I looked at her, a thought kept crossing my mind:man, I could really use an almost-breedable size female....If I beefed her up, she would definately be ready next year. The price was $89.99, and they said it just came in, and the paperwork did indicate it was a female. She wasn't being agressive, and she had some really nice white outlines in her pattern. As I walked up to the register with her so that we could get an approximate weight on her, i noticed something on her eye. At first, I thought it was dirt, but low and behold, it was a TICK!!!! (UGH!!), stuck in between the eyeball and socket. Upon further inspection, my buddy Mark, found another small one inbetween some scales. No thanks, I said and gave her back to Mark. He thouroughly apologized and said she was going in the back with some Provent-a-mite. i told him I'd bet $20 it was a WC, and I have absolutely NO interest in WC.
