What would you pick? (if you had to)

[Fireball27]

For some reason i've had invertebrates on the brain recently. I have no idea why, just do. Maybe it has something to do with watching King Kong recently.. what with that big bug scene and everything. Speaking of which remember that scene where the girl is running from the T-Rexes and she hides in a log, only to discover its inhabited by giant centipedes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CL2h...elated&search=
I recomend you watch it without sound.

King Kong has convinced me that being eaten alive by giant bugs is probably the single worst way to die imaginable... gives me the willies. Even so, its also (for some inexplicable reason) made me want to have my own big bug. So what do you think? Tarantula? Scorpion? Centipede? Mantid?

Re: What would you pick? (if you had to)

my brother in law had a scorpion once...it drowned itself in ts own dish. The praying mantis I have to feel sorry for. I saw a show on Discovery channel where they showed how when the male and female mate, the female rips his head off in order for him to finish the job. Thats got to be the toughest "head" job I've ever heard of. As far as having to choose one, I'd have a very hard time cuddling up next to fire with something my first instinct is to smash with something heavy. The only thing that gives me the willys any worse is a bloody snake.

My son kept a mantis for a pet for a while. It eventually laid these odd eggs that hatched into babies.

i had 2 Black Emperor scorpions, they were cool to have, but not very entertaining. I still have a curly hair tarantula. Lots of fun (for what it is). Watching him/her (their sex changes everytime they moult) eat is pretty cool, the first time i saw my guy eat he leapt off the side of his cage and landed perfectly to have a cricket right under his fangs. Also, about 2 times a year they will build an incredible web that looks like a bed. Then the moulting process begins. After thats done there looks like there are two tarantulas in the cage, but one of them is just the shell :omg:

You should take the molted exoskeleton to a taxadermist and have it stuffed :D
