I agree, I would equate it to saltwater aquariums a pretty steep learning curve but once you get it all down it becomes routine.

My father was a member of a sailing club at Keystone lake near Tulsa and to get to the bathrooms you had to climb up this hellish path supported by railroad ties. In one spot on the wood of a tie I saw a tarantula living there. She (???) and I became great friends. I'd spend all summer hunting down crickets and such and I would bring them to her and call her and she would come to the edge of her home and I'd give them to her. I met her when I was six and we left the lake when I was 13 and we'd been friends all that time. When I said goodbye I was sitting on the tie talking with her when I started crying. For the first time she came all the way out of her home, crawled onto my knee and petted my arm with her front legs. I just cried and pet her back gently until someone was coming and she dashed back into her home.
I know she is long gone now but I hope her babies are still there. That really formed my deep love of spiders.
Now we had a neighbor who flopped down on a couch in her basement and was swarmed by fiddle backs. She had bites all over her legs and stomach and watching those horrible sores fester and die to her bone and muscle over a year made me very reactive to those aggressive little buggers. I learned well what they look like and they are not allowed to live in my space. Nasty spiders that give all the rest a bad name.
Megan, what a beautiful story. You almost made me cry. I could see the love in your words.My father was a member of a sailing club at Keystone lake near Tulsa and to get to the bathrooms you had to climb up this hellish path supported by railroad ties.

He/She is pretty spot on, must get to listen to it fairly often.
This thread makes me happy. I love cats.
Currently living in my house we have three cats and two bearded dragons.
Makes me happy to hear you love cats! [emoji75]
Bearded dragons are very cool, too.
The pic you posted... That's a little bit disturbing.
Hahaha, not a fan of Cage Cat? Few things make me laugh as hard as Nicolas Cage's glorious visage photo-shopped onto various animals.
Yeah, those beardies are pretty darn majestic. We just can't have them in the same area because one of them is still a baby. Also known as snack-sized.

This one is cute, too, and she has a British accent.
One of my Greys has a Bosnian accent.

Me too!! And I was at work with everyone looking at me strangely! Lol
I like cage, but somehow I've missed seeing those before. Huh...
I understand the snack sized. If it can be a "pet" (hate that word) either I, or someone I know has had them as housemates.
