It's A Beautiful Day in The...

 NeighborhooAAAAAAGH!!!!!
All those years I trusted you!

I never knew he lived on Elm Street! Seriously though, the Freddy Krueger sweater is an iconic image of both knitwear and horror. You see those red and green stripes and you instantly know that you're about to die...or that you're at least about to suffer through some horrible puns.

And, like all iconic things, it ends up being a costume for your pet. Don't believe me? Listen, nothing is sacred. Not even Jackie O...not. even. Jackie.O. 

But, back to the main theme...

Awww! So cuddly, so adorable, so full of murderous rage! The great thing about Krueger Kat is that he doesn't even need the little leather knife glove. He's naturally gifted with tiny slashing claws! Still, I feel this isn't the right cat for the job...

Yeah, there we go. Just imagine waking up with this precious lamb yowling good morning in your face. I'm sure he's best friends with this guy.

Of course, it doesn't stop with pets.


As Kim Kardashian up there tells us, there is no costume out there that cannot be 'sexified.'

"Hmm, you know, like, I'd like to like go as like, something like scary, but well, like, I just don't like, know what! Ooo! A like, sexy Freddy Krueger sweater dress thing! It's like, perfect! Nothing's like hotter than a serial killing burn victim! ...Like."

Sweater? I only just met 'er!

Halloween Scarves.

It's October! Which means (perhaps I should say witch means,) Halloween! Now, I like for Halloween to encompass the entire span of the month, not just the last day. I love, love, love All Hallows Eve-simply because it gives me the excuse to treat my inner child to a month long session of playing dress-up, carving pumpkins, and embracing all things spooky.  It really is one of the best holidays ever, and even when a full costume isn't possible, October, with its Halloween flavored influences, offers up some pretty cool accessories:


Scarves are one of my favorite fall fashion items...and when you're able to take that item and bend it from its regular shape into a piece of wearable art; I'm a fan! These awesome cobweb scarves by Las Lopez do just that. The whole site has some pretty sweet wearable fiber art. I love the different feel each of these gives, just by changing the color! You've got your choice between cobweb chic and blood-dripping freak.

You could choose to go with this chain scarf by Toggle...which makes me think of both Mr. T and Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol. A ghostly Mr. T would be a pretty innovative costume and a sure twist on Dickens. "I pity the foo' that don't honor Christmas in they heart!"

The Do Not Cross scarf by Fuzz is so cool it's almost criminal! (seewhatIdidthere?)

If you'd like something a little edgier, a little more cutthroat, there's always the bloody saw scarf. It goes hand in hand, or perhaps I should say runs neck and neck with Do Not Cross...actually, they're the perfect pair. Wear the saw one day and the crime scene the next, and you can be your own inside joke!


 H.P Lovecrafty! The Dread Cthulhu has never looked so adorable! You'd be mad not to love this lil' guy! There's a lot of cool Cthulhu inspired clothing on the web...it's amazing what these artists dream up.

 Finally, let's finish off with something sweet. I'm loving this candy corn scarf, and nothing says Halloween better than high fructose corn syrup...just ask any kid with a trick or treat bag.

Happy Halloween!

Breeding season begins in February and ends in April. In the southern parts of their range, 2 broods are sometimes hatched. They nest in tree cavities lined with down. Incubates 9-15 eggs for approximately 30 days. Chicks have are colored dark gray-brown above, and dull yellowish below. Fledging takes place in about 60 days and they mature in 1 year.

House Spiders

giant house spider picture
At one time or another, many different spider species, from jumping spiders to cellar spiders to wolf spiders and more, find their way into people's homes.

Technically, the term house spider refers to species in the Tegenaria Genus, with three common species found in the United States:

  • Tegenaria agrestis - Hobo Spider
  • Tegenaria domestica - Domestic or Common House Spider
  • Tegenaria gigantea - Giant House Spider

The three species look very similar, with the Hobo Spider commonly considered a species of medical concern. The range of the Hobo Spider and Giant House Spider are limited mainly to the Pacific Northwest, although extended ranges to Utah and Montana are reported.

The top picture shows a Giant House Spider (Tegenaria gigantea). While they are large, up to three inches long with their legs extended, their bites are not as dangerous as the Hobo Spider. In fact, they are considered a natural predator of the Hobo Spider and their presence is considered as a natural Hobo Spider pest management remedy.

The so-called happy-face spider, which is harmless to humans, has evolved to confuse predators, scientists think.

Green Iguana Care Sheet

& Red Iguana Care Sheet

and Information

Green Iguana, Red Iguana

Latin Name: (iguana iguana)

The Green & Red Iguana is a large lizard reaching sizes of 4 to 6 feet. There native habitat is in Central to South America and live in a tropical existence. Iguana's under the right conditions in captivity can live around 12 to 15 years. Iguana's are an arboreal animal (lives in trees). Some species once they hatch climb into the trees and never set foot on the ground again there whole lives.

The Green Iguana is a greenish grey color with black stripes that has 5 toes on each foot. The Red Iguana is nothing more then a color variation of the green. It still retians the black body stripes but has a red tinge to them and the body is predominantly red instead of green. Red Iguana still do retain some green areas on there body, usually the underbelly can be spotted with green. This area could be either small or large. The tail generally is about 3 times the length of the body. They sport a flap of skin below the chin commonly referred to as a Dewlap. They have a spiny looking crest that extends the length of the body.

sheep

sheep.jpg

Sheep are stupid! But I like them. Especially roasted and swimming in mint sauce. Fortunately the fields around us are slowly filling up again after the disaster and debacle of the Government’s stunning response to the Foot and Mouth outbreak of 2001. Almost every lamb and sheep in Cheshire was slaughtered and yet there was not a single confirmed case of the disease in the whole county. What a waste!

In fact it was quite a spectacle the day the sheep disappeared. It was like martial law had been imposed on Cheshire. I arrived home from work to find the lane near home blocked off by the army. I had to wait an hour or so. They were gathering all of the sheep together and putting them onto trains to take them to slaughter. It was like a scene from the holocaust. They didn’t want anyone watching.
After I finally got home we had another army Land Rover come hurtling onto the drive and four squaddies rushed out: “You got any sheep or other livestock?”, they barked. We hadn’t. At first they didn’t believe us. You see the property was still called “School Farm” on the local A to Z. But we did manage to convince them in the end – although they were very suspicious of the old hen coup in our side garden, which was now just used as a shed and dumping ground.
In truth though a number of local farmers did foil the army search. Many kept a breeding pair in their homes throughout this period. Foot and Mouth was nothing new and they realised the Government was overreacting. And, they couldn’t bear to lose their entire flocks.
The silence of the sheep. It was eerily quiet around the hamlet with the sheep gone, and the cows in sheds. The moles moved in. And the foxes and badgers. The buzzards. The barn owls. These seemed to increase significantly as the fields emptied of livestock. The moles seem to have stayed, much to the chagrin of those of our neighbours who are proud of their lawns.
T and R, our most lawn proud neighbours, suffer really badly with moles. It is a real shame because they love their garden and nature in general. In the summer they live outdoors. They have a split-level pool cum fish pond where they encourage newts and frogs and discourage the herons it attracts. But, R is a big softy. He doesn’t like the thought of killing anything. So getting rid of the moles is a bit difficult. There are many myths about moles, you know. Rat poison doesn’t work – they can smell it and they avoid it. They just dig another hole. Moth balls don’t work for much the same reason. You can’t smoke or flood them out because their burrows are far too extensive – they just move out of the way, seek higher ground. There are really only two effective ways to kill them. You can go out at night, wait until you see a mound (mole hill) forming, wait till the little bugger pops his head up, and, whack him with a shovel. Or, you can use razor blades. Moles are haemophiliacs. Their blood doesn’t clot. If you push a razor blade into the run of a mole and they run over it, and cut themselves, they bleed to death…..

Moles can be trapped though, and relocated. But, you have to be very careful not to leave your scent on the trap. T approached me one day when R was still at work and asked me to lay a trap. I did. R subsequently sabotaged it by “checking” on it. He touched the trap. He knew what he was doing. He’s a really nice guy.

The Foot and Mouth outbreak finished off a number of the farmers around here. They are tenant farmers in the main. They do not own their own land or houses. So, when times are tough they have nothing to borrow against. I once helped a farmer-neighbour when his tractor caught fire at the height of Foot and Mouth. He cried. He wasn’t insured. He couldn’t afford the premium. He was losing a fortune at the time and thought that the cost of fixing the tractor would push them into bankruptcy. Several of the farms went under. Most are over-priced, poorly designed, badly decorated conversions now. Tis a shame.

But, we still have the moles. And the sheep are back. Sheep are stupid. Have you noticed that they stand in lines. They all look in the same direction. They stare. C says it might be a zen thing. I doubt it. It can be quite spooky when they all line up and stare at you. For no good reason. Spooky. And, it is rude to stare.

On one occasion C and I were walking across the fields to our local pub. At one point we found a sheep with its head stuck in a wire fence. Well stuck. It would seem that it had pushed its head through in an attempt to get at a bucket on the other side which had some kind of food stuff in it. The wire was beginning to cut into its neck. I tried to get it out. I pulled and I pulled. I tugged and I tugged. It budged not a bit. In the end we decided to fetch the farmer.

The farmer didn’t seem too happy when we caught up with him. He was just leaving in his Land Rover. Probably off to the pub, or out for Sunday lunch somewhere. We watched him trudge across the field. He found the sheep. He climbed over the fence and he moved the bucket further away. The sheep, realising that there was no way it could get at the food, simply reversed. It backed out, shook its head and rejoined the flock. The farmer shook his head and probably muttered something like “bloody townies”. Sheep are stupid? I was only trying to help…

He has already created a sheep liver which has a large proportion of human cells and eventually hopes to precisely match a sheep to a transplant patient, using their own stem cells to create their own flock of sheep.

The process would involve extracting stem cells from the donor's bone marrow and injecting them into the peritoneum of a sheep's foetus. When the lamb is born, two months later, it would have a liver, heart, lungs and brain that are partly human and available for transplant.

"We would take a couple of ounces of bone marrow cells from the patient,' said Prof Zanjani, whose work is highlighted in a Channel 4 programme tomorrow.

"We would isolate the stem cells from them, inject them into the peritoneum of these animals and then these cells would get distributed throughout the metabolic system into the circulatory system of all the organs in the body. The two ounces of stem cell or bone marrow cell we get would provide enough stem cells to do about ten foetuses. So you don't just have one organ for transplant purposes, you have many available in case the first one fails."

At present 7,168 patients are waiting for an organ transplant in Britain alone, and two thirds of them are expected to die before an organ becomes available.

Scientists at King's College, London, and the North East Stem Cell Institute in Newcastle have now applied to the HFEA, the Government's fertility watchdog, for permission to start work on the chimeras.

But the development is likely to revive criticisms about scientists playing God, with the possibility of silent viruses, which are harmless in animals, being introduced into the human race.

Dr Patrick Dixon, an international lecturer on biological trends, warned: "Many silent viruses could create a biological nightmare in humans. Mutant animal viruses are a real threat, as we have seen with HIV."

Animal rights activists fear that if the cells get mixed together, they could end up with cellular fusion, creating a hybrid which would have the features and characteristics of both man and sheep. But Prof Zanjani said: "Transplanting the cells into foetal sheep at this early stage does not result in fusion at all



sweet hamster

The Roboroski hamster is becoming increasingly more available in pet stores. It is fast and very lively, but rarely nip. This hamster is not normally recommended to the first time hamster owner, as they can be tricky to handle. Roboroski hamsters are very sociable and should be bought in pairs of the same sex although many pet stores cannot sex these hamsters confidently. Roboroski hamsters should never be housed in small cages despite their small size and require at least a 24" X 12" glass tank or plastic cage. They should never be housed in barred cages, because they will squeeze through the bars or may get half stuck.

A father of two was almost killed after he was nipped by his daughter's pet hamster.

Ashley Green, 51, suffered an extreme allergic reaction to the bite after he tried to stop pet rodent Sydney from falling through a crack in the floor.

The frightened hamster sunk it's tiny teeth into Mr Green's thumb and palm and within minutes he had turned grey and begun making a gargling sound.

Mr Green has a severe allergic reaction to a hamster bite

His horrified wife, Michelle, 45, hurriedly dialled 999. Describing the dramatic ordeal she said: "Ashley was bleeding. Then his face went white and he said he felt itchy all over.

"Within seconds he began to wheeze. I knew straight away he must be allergic to the hamster bite because the previous year he had suffered a massive anaphylactic reaction to penicillin.

"Doctors warned he could develop allergies to anything. It meant we had to keep EpiPens - shots of adrenalin - in case of any unexpected reaction, and this was definitely it.

"He sank to the floor. I was so scared I pulled off his jeans. I plunged the EpiPen into his flesh - but he didn't react.

"His eyes were fluttering shut and it seemed like I was losing him."

Paramedics spent 10 minutes at the family home in Evesham, Worcs, trying to revive stricken Ashley with a host of drugs.

Michelle said: "One of them just turned to me and said: 'We can't seem to keep his blood pressure up'.

"All I could do was tap his face frantically. I was telling him to breathe, and begging him not to die.

"As we raced through the night in the ambulance, all I had to cling to was my prayers. Then as we pulled into the hospital, Ashley's eyelids began to flicker open.

"He had started to come round and I just broke down in relieved sobs. He clutched my hand and said: 'It'll take more than a hamster to finish me off'. Then he smiled."

It took doctors four days to stabilise Ashley's blood pressure, but he survived his bizarre brush with death.

Paramedic Stuart Philp said: "It was a highly unusual situation, We got the initial call to an allergic reaction but we didn't realise it was from a hamster until we got there.

"Calls to allergic reactions are fairly common but it's usually wasp or bee stings or sometimes people are allergic to medication. It's just a case of a particular hamster and a particular man ? it's very unlucky."

Tests later showed that Ashley was allergic to proteins in hamster saliva.

Now Sydney, who was bought as a gift for their daughters Annie and Sarah, has been sent packing to a relative's to live.

Wife Michelle said: "Doctors said they can't tell what he might become allergic to next but we have identified one irritant that had to go.

"We sent Sydney to live with Ashley's brother."

Hamsters make ideal pets for young and old alike and are an ideal pet for those at work or school during the day as they are nocturnal, sleeping during the day and waking in the evening.

Their cute appearance, lack of smell, relative ease of care and the wide range of species, colours, etc make hamsters the most popular small pet in many countries today.

Apart from the initial expense of the cage and equipment hamsters are relatively cheap to keep and require less care than larger pets. However, as with any pet, keeping a hamster does require a commitment to caring for it during its lifetime, including veterinary treatment if it becomes ill.

Hamsters take up little room only requiring a cage in which to be kept and so are an ideal pet for those living in apartments or small houses.




dogs and cat

Dog vs Cat

The dogs vs. cats debate has raged on for all time and for all time the dog side has won! Dogs are man’s best friend and cats don’t even like us! So why should we like them?

Unlike cats, dogs are very faithful and give you unconditional love forever. Cats barely seem to know you are around most of the time. If there is any problem a dog will serve and even protect you really well, but what would a cat do? Nothing!

The dogs are very obedient creatures and will sit or lie down or heel on command unlike the cats who will just smirk and walk away. Cats cannot be trained as easily as dogs. In fact it can seem impossible to train a cat.

Whenever the owner talks, a dog will tilt their heads and listen but cats don’t really seem to have much interest in human speech. Dogs will come upon hearing their name called while cats either don’t recognize their name being called or don’t care that it’s been called! A dog’s obedience makes him even more lovable and that is the biggest reason many people prefer dogs over cats.

Dogs also serve as very good companions and will play Frisbee or other games with you in the afternoon while cats, being selfish and self-centered, would prefer to take their afternoon nap quite lazily. Dogs are not at all mischievous by nature and will bring you your slippers or your evening newspaper unlike cats who might bring you a dead mouse.

Dogs also serve as very good watch dogs. There’s a reason they call it a watch dog and not a watch cat! They will bark to wake you up if the house is on fire or if he finds anything suspicious going on like thieves or somebody else breaking in while cats will just quietly sneak out the back door.

Dogs are so obedient that they will let you give them a bath quite easily, while a cat will struggle the entire time.

Dogs also look much better at the end of a leash. A dog can be a great partner on daily walk or your daily run. You can’t take a cat with you on a run!

Another great advantage that dogs have over cats is that they are easier to co mingle with each other. Dogs tend to get along with other dogs much easier than cats tend to get along with other cats.

Possibly the best reason that dogs are better than cats? Dogs don’t use the bathroom inside of your house! They go outside! No matter how much the litter is supposed to keep the smell under control, it still stinks!

Dogs seem to understand your emotions and will try to comfort you whenever you are sad while the cats don’t really seem to notice this sort of thing. A cat is far more interested in his own life.

I’m sure there are many more reasons why dogs are better than cats but these are the ones I’ve thought of today. Dogs are the best friend a man (or woman) can have. Cats? Not so much

Glen of Imaal Terrier in puppie

The Glen of Imaal Terrier is a breed of dog of the terrier category. It originates in Wicklow, Ireland, and was developed as a working terrier, proficient in badger-baiting and hunting of fox. When Elizabeth I was having problems in Ireland she hired French and Hessian soldiers to go and solve the problem; they settled in the Wicklow area in the Glen of Imaal.


A long and heavy-bodied, low-stationed spaniel, it stands only 17 to 20 inches (43-51 cm) in height but weighs from 55 to 85 pounds (35-38.5 kg). The Clumber has heavier bone than other spaniels, a massive ‘melting’ head with a hound-like face and expression, a deep muzzle, large square nose, and broad low-set ears. His coat is dense, weather-resistant, straight, and flat..

Cardigan Welsh Corgi in puppie

The Cardigan is a long, low dog with upright ears and a fox-like appearance. The old American Kennel Club standard called it an “Alsatian on short legs”. Unlike the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, whose tail is usually docked,the Cardigan’s tail is long. Cardigans can be any shade of red, sable, or brindle.


Bedlington Terrier in puppie

bedlingtons has the different body shapeThe Bedlington Terrier is often described as looking like a lamb on a leash, probably because it has non-shedding fur with a woolly texture. These dogs may be blue, sandy, liver, or dark brown/black and sable and can be solid colours or have tan markings.

Australian Shepherd in puppie

australian shepherds are the related breed of the german shepherds. Like other herding breeds, these dogs excel at many dog sports, especially herding, dog agility, frisbee, and flyball. The dog has a stride in which its front and back legs cross over, making for an appearance of “on the edge” speed.

bird pets

Bird lovers can now let their pets fly around the house without worrying about the mess, thanks to these brightly coloured bird nappies called FlightSuits from Avianfashions.com

Red or Moluccan Lory, Eos bornea bornea

This was the first lory I worked with, back as a boy helping out in a pet store (I say “helping out” because I was not paid, other than by being allowed to take sick animals home!). Without any real training, our red lory climbed down from his store-front perch each evening and walked to the back of the shop and into his cage. As soon as we began to close up for the night, off he went!

This responsiveness, along with “screaming” scarlet plumage, has rendered the red lory quite popular with parrot enthusiasts. It reaches 12 inches in length, and breeds fairly well, especially if exposed to temperatures of 90-93 F for a time. Like all their relatives, red lories do best in outdoor aviaries or large cages.

Red lories are limited in distribution to Saparura and Amboina Islands, west of New Guinea. They favor mangrove forests, but will feed in parks and farms if dense tree cover is available nearby. Relatives that also appear in the pet trade include the blue-streaked and black-winged lories.

Black-Capped Lory, Lorius lory lory

A quiet (for a parrot!) voice, hardy constitution and friendly nature suit this 12 inch lory well to captivity. Its plumage is better seen than described – the black crown contrasting spectacularly with the blue body and green wings.

Black-capped lories do best in an outdoor aviary at temperatures above 50 F. They tame readily, but will attack and kill other birds, including parrots much larger than themselves. Pairs sleep in a nesting box even when not breeding.

Black-capped lories inhabit Vogelkop, Batanta and nearby Papuan islands that lie northwest of New Guinea. The closely related chattering and purple-napped lories are also bred in captivity.


Tahitian Blue Lory, Vini peruviana

Despite having been bred in captivity since 1936, this tiny (6-7 inch) indigo and white lory is still found only in a few private collections and zoos. It is likely gone from its native Tahiti, courtesy of introduced rats, and now dwells only on the neighboring Cook and Society Islands.

In the mid 1970’s, a small group of confiscated Tahitian lories found their way into the Bronx Zoo and came under my care. Despite being well-bonded, the pair I kept quarreled frequently, but teamed up to harass the much larger Palawan peacock pheasants that shared their exhibit whenever the mood struck them.

Tahitians have smaller bills than most lories, and specialize on nectar and soft fruits. Mine did well on a “shake” of yogurt, honey, hummingbird nectar, papaya and blueberries, along with other fruits and insects. Like all lories, they squeeze insects to extract their softer parts, and discard the hard exoskeletons.

Milk snakes are a popular choice for pet snakes, and with good reason. They meet all the criteria that makes for a good pet snake. They are small enough to be housed in a standard-sized cage, but they are large enough to please most snake keepers.

Most of the subspecies do very well in captivity and will eat frozen / thawed rodents on a regular basis. They also have good temperaments and, with regular handling, can become quite tame.

But there’s another reason why milk snakes are such a popular choice for pet snakes. They are beautiful snakes that come in a wide variety of colors, depending on the subspecies.

There are about two-dozen different subspecies of milk snakes throughout North and South America. Most of them have colored bands down the length of their bodies, in alternating colors. In many cases, there are three distinct colors present within these bands, which is why the milk snakes are sometimes called tri-colored snake.

The Pueblan and Honduran milk snakes (Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli and L. t. hondurensis, respectively) are among the most popular subspecies kept in captivity. That’s a Honduran crawling down from the corner of this blog post. Like most milk snakes, these two subspecies are attractive, brightly colored, and widely varied in their appearance. They both make excellent pets when cared for properly.

Mexican Milksnake

The Mexican milk snake pictured above (Lampropeltis triangulum annulata) displays some of the physical traits that are common to many of the milk snake subspecies. It is a tri-colored species with alternating bands. In this case, the bands are red, black and yellow. It also has glossy scales and a small head (relative to the body). The small, tapered head is indicative of a burrowing snake. And that is certainly the case with the milks — they love to burrow. So if you choose one of these beautiful snakes as a pet, provide a substrate that allows for burrowing, such as aspen shavings or care fresh litter.

Boa Constrictors & Pythons

Pet SnakePet Snakes can be fabulous animals. They are found around the world. Their job is to keep the rodent population in check. Thanks to these helpful animals, we are not overrun by rodents of all sorts. Gray Banded Kingsnake

Columbian BoaColombian Boas are another popular pet snake, along with their cousins the Hogg Island Boa and the Central American Boa. While the Colombian Boa can exceed six feet in length, there are other attractive and popular dwarf boas that make great pets.

Yellow Rat Snake

Many snakes are now raised in captivity. They tend to make the best pets. They do not usually harbor the parasites that afflict their wild cousins.

Red Milk SnakeKingsnakesKingsnakes get their name from the idea that they sit at the top of the food chain. Kingsnakes can be cannibalistic, considering other snakes as prey. Our Shop keeps a variety of food available for feeding pet snakes of all sizes. Typically we have available rats and mice from pinky to adult. Our goal is to always have what you need when it comes to food for your animals. Frozen foods also in stock. Come by and say hello! We'd love to hear about your adventures with herps!
