    So sick and all I couldnt help but drag my butt up to the Pitt Reptile Show. No lavendar corns for Smynx despite the inquiries - but I did stumble across another Sudanese Plated Lizard (first I have seen since we got our son his almost a year ago) for $18. Swooped that up.

    Then I spied spiders, (scorps and 'pedes too yes) and had to have a closer look. For about $12 each (enlclosure understandably included hehe) I picked up a couple:



    "Starburst Baboon"




    sold as "Asian Chevron" - still researching ID on this one.


    Both fast and "don't fuss with me" critters - hands off. I swear when I was moving the "Asian" it shrieked - either that or I am sick enough the auditory hallucinations are kicking in.

    Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya.

    It's my understanding that taratula's can "scream", or at least they "scream" when you kill them. I know I felt deaf after I killed one. (I no longer kill spiders, unless it's a brown recluse or a black widow in my home. I've paid for that, some years later my room was infested with wolf spiders and I got bit a lot.) I did not expect to find a large tarantula in my house in my dirty laundry. This was back when I lived in Oklahoma. If I could go back in time I would have tried to catch it and at least put it outside. I admit it was a beautiful spider though.

    Tremendously creepy, but kinda cool. I hope you feel better. You really are allowed to skip a show and stay home on the couch, you know.

    spiders should not be able to scream or make any other shrieking noises! that's way too eerie. if mine ever does that i think i'll be severely traumatized.

    #1 Who will take care of the critters when you're stuck in bed with fever? Poor Smynx? With all the boys to look after and you, too?

    #2 If any spider starts making noise, I'm a) outta there and b) questioning whether somebody slipped me a Mickey.
