John was watching a show on animal planet or nat geo and this couple had 3 young kids, like a 10 year old, a toddler and a baby, they had like 47 snakes that everyone holds and plays with, even the baby! And this other guy had over 500 snakes in his home!!! It was pretty insane.
Not that I'm afraid of Millipedes...but, I'm not so sure about having them as a pet. I think I'm with Rachael on that. Sorry Jessica. I do think they're incredibly cool. And actually, tho I LOVE snakes, I'm not too interested in having them as a pet either. I think they're best out in the wild or at our cool Animal Kingdom.
I wanted a tarantula for a while but Noah isn't into that! Actually, I did eventually talk him into letting me get one but I could just tell that he really really really didn't want one around, so for his sake, I decided to stick with the cuter, fuzzier creatures. I have been considering a hermit crab lately. They are just adorable to me! I'm also definitely getting a german angora rabbit someday because I want the fibre, but I'm not sure when. Of course, I will be caring for a newborn soon enough, which is the most demanding pet of all.
You know I found this little snake in our backyard the other morning. Thank goodness the Shiba didnt see what I was doing. Sad part of the story now that I think about it, when I was trying to pick it up with two sticks. Rach says "Chad why don't you just pick it up?" Makes me think now why didn't she come out and just pick it up, since she thought that I should have just picked it up?
By the way why don't you ask Rachael about her cockroach story when I wasnt home. What I had to come home and see sitting in the middle of the floor.
I hope she didn't smoosh it. It's best if you catch them and flush. If it's a female, I'm told they could be prego and still give birth to babies. I caught a HUGE one recently. I wouldn't go so far as to call them cute, but I find them fascinating!!! Ok, Norman was kind of cute.
As much as I love snakes, Rachael, I'm with Chad (Heaven help me). It's pretty dangerous to just pick one up. What if it's poisonous? In Jersey we have mostly garter snakes, but when we lived upstate, there were Copperheads. Unless you can identify it, really just leave it alone. If, however, you KNEW it wasn't poisonous, what's with the two sticks, Chad? I can't imagine, picking up a snake with sticks was an easy task.
My old downstairs neighbor breeds and raises Madagascar Hissing cockroaches. He has hundreds of them. I moved up here from NYC I have no love for cockroaches.
Chad was out of town and there was a roach. I doussed it with raid, but a glass over it, put a stock pot on top of that and then about a 15 pound shakespeare book on top of that. My mom got mad because I called orkin teling them to get out ASAP because I was home alone with this roach. I told my mom that if I died it was either the orkin man or the roach that killed me.
Chad has had many of moments of wanting to kill me. Me screaming and him freaking out that something was terribly wrong...well there was...it was a bug, spider of MILLIPEDE!
When I was visiting my friend and his fiance in Hawaii, we would frequently come home to find cups in random places with little paper signs saying "<--- bug". What is it with you prissy girls and bugs?
We had about a 2 inch roach come up through the sink in the bathroom at our old condo. Only bathroom. I sprayed it about 5 feet away and refused to use the bathroom. That was at night. Needless to say it was rough but I AM a freak and cant handle it. When I was little we lived in an old house and there would always be spiders hatching in my light fixture. I would wake up to baby spiders coming down from the ceiling...hundreds of them!

Never saw a roach until we moved here.

LMAO, Rachael. Wow, you have a serious dislike of bugs!
