Looking forward to seeing it, the daughter said it will cost her a £100 but she doesn't care, she is thinking about getting a pet rat next and that WILL freak the wife out more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted January 13, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Bloody hell, I got that wrong @nudge it's not a Gecko the daughter bought but 2 bloody pet RATS!!, she just sent me some photos and the wife is now really FREAKING OUT lol, I think the daughter better put them in the grandson's bedroom when she is babysitting, I suggested (joking) that I would nip around the daughters and bring them home so she could give them a cuddle and she yelled "DON'T YOU BLOODY DARE!!". The first one the daughter named Charamander which is hers and she said is timid, Kaiden's one he has called it K1.

Hide contents Gecko glass box Good to hear hehe... That glass terrarium looks very nice; plenty of space for the gecko as it looks huge! I normally don't feel at ease with animals in captivity (not judging there; I have been tempted to domesticate them on quite a few occasions myself haha), but this looks like a really nice place for a lizard. Are they going to get crickets for the gecko to hunt in the cage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going to get crickets for the gecko to hunt in the cage? Knowing our eldest grandson he will stick bloody birds in the glass cage for his Gecko!! The daughter has had the rats out of the cage and holding them in her hand, she said they are not timid now and she will have them out of the cage more often I reckon as she does not like seeing animals closed up in small cages and Connor will have his Gecko running around I can bet you on that, Denise fed the rats some strawberries yesterday and she said they noshed them down, she has completely fallen in love with them. I know she will look after them and make sure Connor looks after his Gecko as she was in the RSPCA with me years ago taking care of animals, if me and the wife were not that old now we would have got some pets like a cat, I love cats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) That would be amazing. Initially I'd probably shit myself thinking it was a great white. But once you knew it was an Orca, you'd feel assured. They would infact keep sharks away.

Weirdly enough I haven't seen a single snake here in the new place since I moved. Which is weird considering I'm basically living at the entrance to the national park, surrounded by lush nature. What's even weirder is the fact that I had four snakes in my balcony and one in my bedroom when I was still living in the second floor of an apartment complex in a bigger town... That said I'm sure there are plenty of snakes around and I have even seen a bloody King Cobra in the national park here a few years ago...so I always have a flashlight on when I get home after dark and have to cross the road and go through the garden to my bungalow...just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that reading up on whats dangerous and whats not would be a priority for me if I was living in a place like that... Do you check under the bed and shake piles of clothing just in case?? I would be checking my shoes the lot as a matter of routine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you check under the bed and shake piles of clothing just in case?? I would be checking my shoes the lot as a matter of routine.. Yeah the dangerous ones here are basically cobras, vipers and kraits, all of those are rather easily distinguishable (except for common krait which can be easily mistaken for a non-venomous wolf snake...) but it's difficult with the younglings and that's what I had in my balcony and bedroom back then haha... So just had to carefully pick them up and take them outside using a pair of kitchen tongs Shoes are more likely to be a hiding place for scorpions or those giant centipedes (huge assholes) but to be fair, I only wear shoes on the night out or on a longer trip anyway as it's way too hot haha; otherwise it's just a pair of flip-flops on a regular day... Piles of clothing are just a bad idea in general as everything would just get moldy due to high humidity...We don't even use closed wardrobes here for the same reason; everything needs to hang in the open to ensure air movement or it just gets ruined quickly. As a precaution the terrace/entrance to the house is elevated and all the windows have mosquito nets on them though and all potential entry points for the illegal aliens to the bungalow are sealed I took extra precautions once I moved in Except the geckos. They always find a gap (well the small ones; not the likes of Patrick there ) but they are also very welcome... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
