Shun the frumulous Bandersnatch!

O_O You sir, have just named my OBT. I couldn't think of a good name. Bandersnatch! Yay!

Congrats! And may I just add that I'm jealous. I wish any of the LPS near my house had Pokie slings! Heck, any slings. They're all wild caught (probably MM). Other than Preuss Pets, of course, but that's a 2 hour drive.

Three of the LPS in my area have pokies, but two of them are adult females, and thus out of my price range. The other two are a P.fasciata, and a P.miranda.

Lulz.


Oh, and the roaches are Bonnie and Clyde, but we don't know which is which. The guy at the store had a look, and said he can tell how they are different, but can't remember which is male, and which is female--he even showed me the different vents.

Malevolent, Maybe the Zulu name for little orange demon. Of course I don't know what it is- you'll have to search that out for yourself {D{D

You could name it after my senior year art project, "The Dawn of the Ultimate Realization of the Meaningless of Human Existence in Vermillion," it was a sculpture made out of cardboard, and wire. I completed it the first day, and spent each subsequent day plastering it with another coat of vermilion acrylic paint to make it as orange as possible. Years later, I left it on the couch, and Dad sat on it.
