and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

What could it be?

A package arrived via UPS this morning. Can you guess what is inside?

No, it isn’t the disgustingly expensive dress for Princess Mia of Quite Alot. I am still tapping my foot about that one. By the time it gets here, Mia might be old enough to make her own.

Here is the box….look for a hint on the outside:

The box

Now see the curious, little girl child peeking into the mysterious box:

The curious daughter looking in the box

The strange contents of said box are revealed….Mia promptly turned to me and had a WTF? face on:

The strange contents of said box

Aren’t they….ah…pretty??

Tiger salamanders

Here are the grubby looking creatures, after their release into their new habitat….I can imagine that they were thinking; “Crap, another box…this one with windows”.

New home

The slimy, tiger salamanders, relieved to be in....another box.

Cory came into some money, via a grandparent, and he chose to spend it buying 2 Tiger salamanders and a terrarium for them.

They eat earthworms.

Yes….I allowed this.

I am insane.

  2. Jody,
    What “colorful and interesting” creatures you have!
    They aren’t exactly my thing, but I bet your boys love them. Our grandsons love to catch the green lizards at my Dad’s place. He has five acres and they just love to have the run of the place!
