Outside the pet stall there was a fish tank cantaining 3 terrantular (sp???) skins. I asked if I could buy a skin for D.

Nope - I couldn't buy it, they had been given to the stall holder by the holder of the stall next door to catch people's attention. However I could have one free!!! I heard all about the first giver's strange pet, who's shedded skin was given twice.

And D? He wants to find a jar to put it on display, cna't decide whether to make slides or not but wants to rig his camera to the microscope - so yes, pictures probably will follow!!

Good thing D doesn't shed skins as he grows...You would have a house full of skins *LOL*

It's a red kneed one - picccies due tomorrow, he wants the natural light.......

And YES it is big. I walked through the market with it on my palm and got some very interesting reactions.....

cwohio

is that from crawling around on carpet?

equus

It's in a biscuit tin right next to me....
Waiting for the right glass jar to go on the shelf with the rabbit skull and desicated frog!

equus

Awwww, just what an arachnophobic wants to hear.

HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT WITH THAT 'THING' IN YOUR HOUSE

equus

It's only a shed skin - mind you it still has fangs!!

Oooops..... sowwy!

I have to admit I can't wait to see what comes of D's photo's and he was SO CHUFFED with it! I went back and told the stall holder it had made his day!
