Hunter - Pet Stats?

[kandrathe]

Brown recluses AND black widows along with a whole slew of trantulas and the occasional yellow scorpion all live here in Texas.

There's nothing like watching a scary movie late at night and see something scurry across the living room.

Don't you hate it when your response doesn't go where you want it in the thread? :)

While I live near the Great White North, and winter kills most nasties here, I did spend a summer in California where one of my daily activities was to kill any flying insects invading our cottage and feed it to the lovely Black Widow residing in one of the corners of the kitchen. I swear she grew double sized while I was there, much to the dismay of my mother in law. Heh Heh.

It is strange to live in a climate where insects, lizards and such crawl around inside houses as unfettered as they do outside. Every evening in that cottage, as it grew colder, the lizards would ascend the stucco walls to try to keep themselves at a proper temperature. Where I live, everything is permasealed with triple glazed locktite gaskets lest we should let any smidgeon of heat escape our wintery nests. Here, we fret whenever a silverfish has the audacity to fight its way upstream to emerge from the plumbing into the bath tub. Granted, we know where it's been and we don't want it crawling on the stuff we consider "clean".
