I'd rather what happened than my dumb cat trying to eat one. He twigged not a good idea when he saw what treading on one did. |

I adore Toby, but he has multiple personalities and one of them makes hitler look nice. I have a scar on my arm where he bit me a few months back, a lovely long silver line. He's a real charmer  . Still, when I pick him up and he snuggles his head into my sholder, purring away, it makes it worth it. I wuv him  |

Oooh I love Ferrocacti. Yes some of the spines on those are insane! I really like to irregula lumpy cacti too. And the flowers! Who would think such huge flowers can emerge from tiny plants like that? (Talking cacti in general). I had a problem with sciarid fly larvea eating a whole load of cacti and lithops seadlings I had. Annoying. And then some of my Mammalia caught mealy bugs, couldn't get rid of them. In the end I had to throw several cacti away  Horrible it was. Well going back tho flies, I've resigned myself to having a house full of the tiny things. |
