she ate the fifth sac, I'm not sure why and she has been kind of freaking out as of late. She is literally running around all over her tank and she used to just sit under her log and chill. I'm not sure what is up. She is still eating well and drinking, just a lot more active. :noknow:

So, I only have 0.1.6 huntsman now.

Doubtful.

In the wild they end up being viciously territorial, so it's probable that they'd have the same problem living with humans methinks.

Also where would you keep it? In the garage? ;)

What a cute baby panda. Their kinda like human babies...not nearly as cute when they grow up! :)

Hubby was out mowing yesterday and he ran over a nest of these VICIOUS animals. One got under the mower an didn't make it :( , one is still hiding somewhere in my garage, and we caught these two. (bare hands even, aren't we brave? :rofl: ) After he was mowing we fixed the nest back up and put them back in it.

awwww... Shellyjean, those bunnies are the cutest babies!! :D I'm sorry the one didn't make it. At least, they have a chance since you put their nest back together... hopefully Mom will take 'em still.

My guess is they were about to ready to leave the nest anyways. We saw one of them this evening out in the yard munching away on something. :) Not it wasn't pancakes either! :lol:

My chinchilla is far to prissy to be made a mockery of with a flapjack upon her head, so I liked that picture. Not to mention, after she complained, I guarantee she'd be off with said pancake, then it'd be $300 later after the vet relieved her of a colon impaction... :roll:

I think my daughter was switched at birth! She sits on my lap at the computer and when any reptiles appear on the screen....she scrunches her nose and says "eeeewwwwwww....bluuuccccckkkkkyyyyyy!"
HUH?????? No child of mine could possible have this 'herpephobia'!! And she literally ran out of the room upset when the cartoon "Go Diego Go" was talking about and showing pictures of anacondas.
WHY do our news channels report more about Britney Spears hair cut than about this?

Nah just like a sunburn I'm so palefaced I can't be exposed to direct sun for more than a few minutes or i begin the process of becoming a human shaped meat tomato. I don't tan, I burn then peel. No woder I tend to be vampiric. :twisted:

yeah, stupid european heritage... I've gotten burned from 15 mins in the afternoon sun, atlanta summers are brutal. I can tan pretty well after the peel, but it's not really worth it to me, lol.

My European half is fine. :( It's the Native American side I have trouble with... the mischeif, the jokes... the inability to keep my car's exterior beautiful. :hehe: Oh wait, that's because I don't care. :edward:

I just don't tan I turn red, it stings for a while, the red peels off and I'm back to looking like the walking dead.
I can't even guess what my heratige is I know my dad is mostly french and irish but my moms side tended to "hybridize" with whomever was near at hand so it's a guessing game though we know there's some hispanic, blackfoot, austrian,and norse I just never got the darker complected genes my dad has a dark complection, dark brown hair and Ice blue eyes my, mom has dark blonde hair hazel eyes and a fair complection but she can tan to an almost mexican brown.
Luckily I'm a night owl anyway, sunlight hurts my eyes to the point that unless i must I don't go in it. sunglasses are my best friend. 8) I even wear them at night sometimes when the moon is full.


geez I guess tonight is my night to ramble pointlessly through posts. I can't seem to shut up. :lol:
