Thanks Tami,

Yes, my daughter, Jessica, has always had a thing for all things creepy crawly. It's funny because she is very girly-girl in other ways. I think she has over 15 baby-dolls that she cares for! She also has a leopard gecko named LuLu and used to have a ball python named Daisy, that is until the ex accidentally killed it with a too-strong betadine bath for a mite problem She told her it escaped. I guess the real story will have to wait until she is a bit older. Oh and also had a Rose tarantula that we donated to the school science teacher!

We are still working on a name for this one. So far they haven't been too creative (in my silly adult opinion) The two so far are "Gardener" and "Snakey". After I explained that it is really "garter", the name "Gardener" seems to be sticking, go figure!
