He's just lucky it wasn't dragging a rock along.


They got the eggs out too, right?

I dunno. Snopes may have jumped the gun here, this looks reminiscent of scabies to me.


Just recently discovered that one of my pet rats had a little botfly infestation. The first symptom we noticed was a inch+ long larva emerging from the poor little guys belly. The vet said they don't really damage the host, but it sure freaked me out!

I never knew that the Alien movies were based on reality.


That's just even more incentive for me to never consider keeping vermin as pets.

{sniffs, dabs away tears} Baby stories are so cute!

Hey, would you like an egg of your very own, Fergie? You should see how adorable baby slaadings are.


I live in Bunbury. Might be worth asking around, see if I can meet the guy and ask him about it.
