COLD DARK ROOM

*outraged tone * How come your sedums aren't eaten to the ground?! Joe would have dealt with that lot in an hour. (Yes, OK I am still sore at him about my sedums! )

Lol. Mine seem to be a bit more picky.

Yesterday it was hot and humid and sunny. Had our sunroom door wide open so our indoor plants could enjoy some fresh air and look what decided to walk in and have a rest. Took this pix as I let it out to free space.

A stick insect and a snail. [emoji3]

Walking stick as pets?

Whahaha. I thought the same thing.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Whahaha. I thought the same thing.

LOL

Walking Sticks don’t require nearly as much space as a Sully...don’t eat much either....and come when called... !

 

[EllieMay]

Wow. That looks really awesome. But please explain it to me. What is it for and why?

I actually had to google this because we have done it since I was a kid but no one has ever said why... lol

And most Reptile Shows have them for sale or education.

 

[EllieMay]

I was wondering the same thing!

Well because y’all have asked, I have just learned it’s a “Texas thing”... lol

I love your babies! They just mesmerize me!!!

And....as far as today and the last few days, we’ve been working on Sully’s indoor housing arrangements now that Winter and cold freezing temperatures are on the horizon. In addition to rearranging a few things, we’ve been working on a new heated night box. More info and details later...but here’s one teaser pix

Keep em coming please!!! I’m a sponge on this subject

 

[EllieMay]

Very nice!!!

We have ours on the 13th. My son is a freshman so this is all new for us.
I’ve never met the girl he asked.

I think Guys want to minimize it. Jess’s was a disaster last year cause a boy asked her at the last minute... literally the night before I was scraping together a garter for him. Do the boys have to do the whole presentation thing there when they are asking a girl? I’ll watch for your pics next weekend

Walking stick as pets?

I think we only see them in the woods...

 

[EllieMay]

And they eat wild blackberries which is a huge plus here.

I’m not sure if your joking or serious.. I’m gonna have to get my google on.... again[emoji848]

 

[Pastel Tortie]

Glad you weren’t stuck out in it. & poor Misty.... all of my dogs are terrified of storms too [emoji20]

I once knew a dog - part border collie, I think - who would go hide under the kitchen table and sometimes whimper whenever he heard any of the meteorologists on TV talk about storms on the way. And sometimes the TV would be on The Weather Channel. It was rather difficult trying to explain that the storms weren't anywhere near us.

Lol!!! That’s pretty amazing.. but Collies & Aussies are amazingly smart so I wouldn’t doubt it for one minute!! Something about “cow” dogs!!

I’ll have to google AGAIN to answer that... but I’ve lived in this state a long time so I know better than to believe in that statement

Google all the way! Doing so alone pulled up for sell.

Stick insects are kept at pets. They're fond of brambles which makes them easy to feed. We don't have stick insects in the wild over here

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all. It's due to be wet, cold and windy today. Yesterday was beautiful sunshine and over 20C; really nice. Our weather in autumn can be a bit variable

JoesDad and I are heading up to London to nose round an art gallery and have a meal out.
