Welcome to Gaia! ::

You can own hermit crabs? Where do you buy them and how much do they cost?! XD

We made pretend hermit crabs once in school. It was cute ^-^

And I owned catepillars. Yes. Catepillars. (wtf spelling?!). They only lived for about 2 days before dieing, apparently some grass blades werent enough to keep them alive xD

So... this one time... when I was little... I was at the beach...

and I found this REALLY COOL SHELL! surprised

And so... I took it home with me. In my bag.

We gets home and my bag smells weeeeird. Momma's like "Sharalyn, what's in your bag?"

I'm like "I unno... oO clothes?"

Anyway.

We opens the bag. I finds my shell. Dead hermit crab sticking out of it. gonk

Traumatic. >< Don't like hermit crabs... no...

Hmm well when I was really young I had two cockatiels, Charlie and Max. Yeah yeah, they were family pets so I had no say in the names. domokun
They were pretty neat little birds, but they always tried to fly through the big bay windows in the living room, which used to crack me up.

I've also had various little pets such as snails, lizards and those little potato bugs that curl up in balls when you touch them. But my mother would always find my little communities, which was usually an old McDonald Happy Meal box, and toss them away. crying She said it wasn't appropriate for a *cough* young lady rolleyes to play with things like that.

And when I first moved back here to Kauai, my sister brought home these two little puppies, well they were half wolf, half German Shepard. The mother was a wolf that someone had smuggled on to the island and had abandoned after Hurrican Iniki. So some kind person took the wolf in and it mated with the neighbor's German Shepard and voila, wolf puppies. xd

The two siblings she brought home became my little babies, since I was the only one willing to actually take care of them, Sammy and Piko. They were completely opposite from each other and to look at them, you'd never think they had the same mother. Sammy was huge and looked all over like a German Shepard. Piko was tiny and looked like a long-haired white wolf. She was way way smarter than Sammy too. Hahaha. My father used to get upset at them because they would always try (and succeeded a few times) to kill the cats and chickens that came into our backyard, and they would stand at the edge of my bed and howl at the moon when it was full. It didn't bother me but I guess other people can't take a little howling every now and then. >_>;

Tarzier? Im spelling that wrong I think.

The weirdest pet Ive had is chinchillas. I had 3. Started with 2. I was told they dont breed much but that was a total lie or mine were complete horndogs because I had a new litter of babies all the time. I ended up keeping one of the babies and then her Dad knocked her up and they were seperated. wink

i've only ever had cats - although my cat has one-and-a-half green eyes, the other is half brown, split straight down the middle, which is kind of weird, i guess - but my brother had a lizard once, for a few days. he found it in the milking parlour at my grandma's farm, brought it home, named it Lizzie (CREATIVE), and then essentially fed it to the cat. he put the lizard down right in front of the cat's face. she ate it. she barfed it up later.

sometimes i wonder if my brother is actually a little bit retarded.

I actually got Omi and Mo at a kiosk at the Iowa City mall... sweatdrop

I got Ike from the local pet shop. If your pet shop sells lizards and the like, they'll most likely have hermit crabs.

They range from around $6-$13, depending on where you go.


Mo just pinched the palm of my hand today. Hurts like hell. Little ********. I was just trying to get him away from the cat...

5 dogs is probably more poop though o_o

Doggie bags, ewww
