Chris was working in Cave Creek yesterday and found this:





His childhood boyish instincts kicked in and he brought him home for these kidos:



He's really quite smart and plays dead A LOT.

He can't fool us!

seriously is he dead? oscar always collects horny toads or whatever and manages to kill it in the first day but when we come over several days later it's still in the cage belly up!

Owen loved looking at those pictures. How did your husband catch him without injury from all his spines?
