kyska Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) I took a career gamble a year or so ago, taking on management of a lovely animal unit to support animal sciences at a large university, I'm loving the teaching, pharmacology, but love even more the exposure I get to these lovely creatures. This has completed my year project of filling a exotic animal room, I've an animal from every continent where reptiles, snakes, inverts etc live, its stunning.

Danger-Mouse Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just as long as your wife doesn't find any of those in her work. What's the bottom one, the one with purple markings? Whilst I can't particularly say I'd want to handle it, it is a beautiful creature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Just as long as your wife doesn't find any of those in her work. They are spiders not crabs. Believe it or not that comparison hadn't crossed my mind. Can I borrow a couple? Any that particularly like eating moths?? Now we're talking. I'll take the spiders over the moths any day.

Mice! Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Probably mean lots of pics but what else do you have? My little girl was holding a python last week at Astley park Chorley and loved it. Was it a spider blocking your draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I can't particularly say I'd want to handle it, it is a beautiful creature. She's a metallic gooty tree spider, once I've got her under ultra violet light I'll get a pic, she is stunning, but dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to keep warm and dry? Might be obvious but never seen it before Never seen that either tbh, we lamb indoors and if the weather is poor we have windbreaks made from bales. It ha to be really poor though, lambs are resilient if they are healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
