froggie 0 #1 March 23, 2001 im sitting here playing on the computer and i happen to glance over at the iguanas cage. I see bob and fred sitting there, looking at me while they bask in the glow of the sun thats filtering thru the door. Bob looks lonely so i take him out of his cage. Now hes sitting here, climbing up my head wiht the help of my ponytail until hes safetly nestled perched on top of my head. This is his normal posiition. He likes it the best. When i use to take him out all the time last summer i even had a little leash for him, so i was able to walk around in open farm markets and stuff like that.Anybody else have a amusing animal story? what does your pet do that makes it unique? Im bored. bobs moved down to my back so im a bit immobiziled (dont want to make him move!) and technically, im forced to sit here and thread (poor me :) lol. froggie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #2 March 23, 2001 Bob Evans...Where have I heard that name before? Isn't that a brand name of breakfast sausages?I have a corn snake named Elaphe. She's amelanistic (meaning she doesn't have melanin, i.e., no black/brown in her coloring) but she still has the reds (erythrin) and yellows (xanthin), so she winds up being bright orange.She's very sweet. Loves to eat them mousies.Speed Racer"Blue Skies, Red eyes, Sore thighs!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt even realize the connection to the sausage man until i had bob for about 1 1/2 years. I had to take him to the vet and they asked for his name. I told them bob... when they called us they sang the "down on the farm!" song. So everytime i took him after that they would give us a little vocal entertainment. Planning on taking bob to the bob evans restaurant and getting a pic of him and me hangin on the sign.
