GeckoMan~ We walked out of the store with a leash... Along with 2- tiny Leopard Geckos, heat lamps, "special Gecko sand", coupla rock things, a tree log thing, crickets, meal worms, etc. lol... i like it!! actually, small reptiles can be quite a lot of fun and quite educational. when i go into a pet store, my terrible "weakness" is the Siamese Fighting Fish. i love those little dudes. i have 3 huge glass bowls here and about once ever 5 years, it never fails that i go into a pet store for one reason or another, and see the row of tiny containers with fighting fish inside lined up on a shelf somewhere in the aquarium section. i always feel so sorry for the fish that i end up buying 2 or 3 and bringing them home to put in the huge luxury-apartment-sized bowls. it's a terrible addiction, i tell you. mr. croc has tried to help me get past the row of little fish staring at me from inside their plastic Dixie cups... but he just can't seem to do it... my resolve always seems to crumble before i get out of sight of the aquarium section. btw, my fish seem to last for an extraordinary length of time -- much longer than they're supposed to... but eventually, one by one they croak until i am left with none. then the fish bowls all go back into storage until my next moment of weakness... Surprisingly it was Wifie's idea. Never thought she'd allow a lizard in the house (other than myself). Hmmm.. first it was the trip to Yellowstone Park, and now it's the Leopard Geckos. Are you sure that your wife hasn't been abducted and replaced by a reptilian alien in disguise? Maybe those little Geckos aren't what you think they are...hmmm??? Maybe they're baby aliens. If you find your wife up in the middle of the night talking to the geckos... well... be afraid.. be very afraid. <g> (o: ~croc
