Some were too scared to go back past the tanks (which were either side of the door) and had to be let out the garden door instead!<br />I did forget once to warn a guest who wished to use the facilities that the 6 foot python was having a swim in the bath...<br />Our cats always ignored such things, but the dogs thought it wonderful when we stayed with a friend who kept fancy rats - we used to call the tank 'dog tv' as they would stay with their noses glued to it from the moment they came in the room. The rats seemed to enjoy entertaining them :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-10686612192066980102013-08-30T18:40:49.138-04:002013-08-30T18:40:49.138-04:00I dunno...I might count your boys!I dunno...I might count your boys!Deborah Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032614187237072683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-61970989110320158252013-08-30T18:40:23.050-04:002013-08-30T18:40:23.050-04:00The lizard is almost as big as Samhain, which I th...The lizard is almost as big as Samhain, which I think is what makes that photo so cute.

There's a groundhog that lives in our yard (not so weird). Sometimes, though, I catch him staring into the kitchen window. But when he knows that I know what he's up to, he scurries away. ;)Melissa (Lavender4mel)http://facebook.com/lavender4melnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-63973035172831669752013-08-30T15:36:50.693-04:002013-08-30T15:36:50.693-04:00Yeah, that's my favorite too.

You don't need a bigger house unless you get more animals/people inhabiting your home. Or decide you need to make one room a clean, well-lit artist's studio or exercise room. Then, well you have a lot of room to add on! :)Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353637836935659079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-34157274192481634572013-08-30T12:27:27.145-04:002013-08-30T12:27:27.145-04:00The only "weird" critters in my area are...The only "weird" critters in my area are the native and non-native species roaming around. In my yard I have brown anole lizards, geckos, a couple of basilisk lizards, not to mention the stray green anole and various snakes (all non-venomous). And a flock of turkey vultures were hanging out on the roof of a neighboring house. None of the aforementioned critters are of the pet category, they just cohabit the area.<br /><br />As for shipping Babylon, I'd contact a pet store that sells lizards to ask how they handle shipping.
