Ditto. It's be so embarrassing to be seen with such a... special... carpet...
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

May I ask where you found them? I promise I won't yank them out from under you (I don't have the tank or space for it...) but I'd love to see them! I've never met one in person...

Hey All,

Well Looks like I might have to hold off on a fahaka, all the money I had set aside for him has gone into my money pit of a car. *sigh* I am starting to hate my mustang, I wish I had never bought it. I am kinda depressed about it.. :( oh well I guess life goes on.

Feel kinda silly posting this, but I had to vent, Stupid car! :?

Don't feel silly Don. It's understandable!! You were so excited to get your fahaka!
I'm sorry it didn't work out :( .. but hopefully one will be waiting for you when you get some more moo-lah! (aka money..lol) :D
