I had to google that one...

googled it as well.. cool looking for sure!

I've got a saltie - you have to get them when they are young and train them to not eat the other pets. His name is Ishmael and we keep him in the pool. They make good pets, but keeping the food up to him can get a bit trying.

Here we are having a pleasant day fishing out in the local river (that's my brother pretending to surf - ever the joker!). Ishmael's just like a dog - start a motor, and he goes at it!

I had a huge Redtail Hawk here in Japan and we would go hunting. I had to get rid of her when she started killing cats. It wasn't fun having to go into some old ladies yard and get my bird off of her dead cats head. Cool yes, but not fun.

This is Emma our Bearded Dragon.

I keep in the neighborhood of 30 to forty tarantulas at any given time>

30 to 40? Why so many?

Have you ever thought of giving them a shave?

Oh....and we are picking up this little guy this weekend. His name is Johnny Cash

Not really pets. We only saw them at feeding time but here's one of a flock of 12 Kookaburras that used to come for a feed in the afternoons. We used to feed them Kangaroo meat. They are carnivorous & will kill snakes in the wild. There's a few Kookas on the iconic Hill's Hoist in the background.
