Now I want some fire-belly toads!

This afternoon we took a trip to Pets-a-Plenty. Yes, it does exist, contrary to popular belief ; )

Eddie helped us with our fish, while Wes led us on a tour through "the green room". They have some pretty cool stuff back there including two vipers, some wicked huge monitors and a 16-ft long python. The first thing as you go through the door is a caiman crocodile; Wes was busy telling us what it was when Christian went and stuck his head over the side to get a better look.














I knew something was up when I saw this look of panic flood across Wes' face. After jerking Christian backwards he calmly explained that the only think you want to dangle over the edge are dead mice from a stick. "He could take your head off, man." And he didn't appear to be joking... It didn't dampen our spirits, we soaked up the snakes, frogs and lizards. Then carried our new charges home to join Sharky (newly renamed, Kenny).
