We have a new pet. One of the creepy, crawly variety. The kind I like to stay away from. Far away.
The kids think it's a 'she' and named her Slithering Alice. Nice, cozy, comfy name; don't you think?
She hasn't eaten anything (Ben purchased a dozen crickets for it to consume and 12 are still in her new home.) so we might be releasing her back to her family. I'm sure she misses them. I'll pack her bags:)
When telling the kids we might need to let her go, he adds....to my horror...."But we'll have to get a lizard or something if we have to do that." I now have a great reason to stay away from the half of the house that contains our bedrooms.
I really don't dislike them (anything crawly or creeping)THAT much. I just never want to look at it, or watch anyone hold it.
Trust me, I'll literally keep you posted.
Just in case you're wondering, Esther took most of the pictures. I was not in the room.

Katy, I wouldn't be able to sleep with that in the house. You are too brave!
Awwwww, she's not that bad! Just make sure there's a weight on top of the acquarium! Love you, Mom : )
Oh man..I'm sort of creeped out just seeing the pictures. I hope my kids never want to own a snake..but there's a really good chance of that. It's better than a spider though...kind of.
Definitely better than a spider! -Tina
What ever happened to a cute, fluffy little lop-eared bunny as a pet??? :) Hang in there! I still don't get why Eve didn't just scream and run way back when. sigh.
Ooh, I'm just relieved you aren't posting pictures of spiders. I'll take a bucket of snakes over one teeny tiny spider anyday! (Incidentally, when I was a kid we DID bring my mom a bucket of snakes. She was so NOT thrilled.)
