How could you insult the poor spiders so? Salamander and I will have to convert you and teach you to love the little dears...

That tarantula is one magnificent spider!

Thanks for the ping!

(But jumpers are still my favorites)

I cuddle cute Constrictors.

Love my big squeezy meat noodles.

I’ll just refer to the comedic uproar on late-night talk shows years ago over Marilyn Quayle’s book title and leave it at that.

LOL!

She must have read Stroking The Python.

Excellent book, by the way.

(I should write Squeeze The Snek)

:D

I've never held that big of a snake....only snakes I've held have been the little green grass snakes you find in the yard. I used to keep toads and frogs as pets though...and yes, I even kissed them (not just once either!)

When we vacationed in Hawaii I used to catch the little lizards that ran around and scare the Japanese ladies with them........ >:-D

Okay, I had to look that up.

Wasn't what I thought.

Nope. :-)

Marrying the frog would probably be better. The prince would likely be a stuck-up pig. Unless he's the imaginary fairy-tale kind.

A primal chick power book, kinda like Women Who Run With Wolves.

Cats and dogs? meh. Give me a toad and I will be happy. *happy sigh* :-)

you see, what the @#$@#$ does evolution have to do with the creation of such a horrifying creature.

what was the advantage of EIGHT eyes, and not say, two?

why such a horrifying death for its victims? does it get a sick thrill watching things squirm/

Probably does methamphetamine before eating its victim and attends dark masses.

Enough about vampires. I was talking about spiders. You know....those nice little creatures that eat the flies and roaches that try to get in your house....

Salamander understands them. She used to have a nice little one that would sit by her windowsill while she did the dishes. She would feed it flies. Stop being afraid of the little dears. Be more like Salamander. :-D

Ask Him.

My favorite frogs here are the Little Bronze Frogs.

The cute little things hang out under the security light so they can grab falling bugs.
