Hisser news!

[saib]

I'm happy to report in my absence the smaller of my two hisser roaches had a complete shed - I've now confirmed they're BOTH BOYS!

I couldn't possible handle another hisser colony - the one I bought at the herp society auction (some of Jenn's babies) brought up an allergic reaction in me. I find just keeping two is no problem.

Yay! Another molt for my skins/corpses collection and guaranteed no breeding!

I once cut the tail off a roadkill raccoon, and got chastized by Fish and Game because raccoons are one of the primary vectors (carriers) of rabies in this part of Florida!

Beats me. I can tell you they are WAY creepier than tarantulas though, 'cause they scurry, and hiss really loud.

I collect skulls too. Latest acquisition is actually an art piece, it is a bison skull covered in tuqruoise. Most of my skull collection is safely undecorated skulls, though.

My nephews still talk about the time we all ended up tensely hunting around in a ditch for deer bones, from a rather old road kill.

So does our psychotic housemate. I brought him home the breast bone of a cormorant from our honeymoon.

BADGERS?! We don't need no steenking badgers!

The badger jokes never end at our house. I won't subject you to the list.
