Rob, we have loads - teeny ones the size of pins up to that one. About 2 minutes after we took this one - which I now think might be a girl - we saw another one, similar size but a long slim body. I think the girl ones maybe have bigger bodies cos of the eggs??? Anyone?





see, he's a totally different shape.

Nah, they just eat too much chocolate.

Actually, did you know that the females eat the males after mating? And I mean literally!

Been meaning to ask you if the Pixi-dust handle is from Peter Pan.

Didn't you say you were Scots?

Cheers and hope you are having a good long weekend

I know what 'a' Paladin is: an heroic defender of a noble cause.......I can't help but wonder if your cause isn't green and smokeable?!!
