Were you a Zookeeper?

Wow!

You live dangerously!

I had to catch and eat a snake as a part of my Commando training, but I still hate these creepy crawlies!

No, just interested in herpetology

Sorry to dissapoint, but not so much danger...nothing venomous or crazy. Just cute reptiles; Some green iguanas, Chinese Water Dragons, Jackson Chamelians, a few kingsnakes, a ball python, a nile monitor and some geckos. I had a burmese python as a foster pet for a stint.

When the little room mate gets a older I would like to get another iguana. They are my favorite...the most common of what I had, but the best personalities and my favorite by far.

Much as they've thought humans about Dropler's effect, I find bats repulsive.

Nice bit of camera work though. No offence to anyone here, but Linkin Park is a sort of music that my friends and me characterise as jarring noise.
Since the day it started raining here...

Another friend who hates Linkin Park.

You should post some pictures of Periya koil here if you have them. We will teach these white folks something about architecture.

I don't know....dipped in some batter and fried. You'd have to take those teeth out first and pluck the whickers, though. They look small enough that they could be sauteed with some garlic sauce....mmmm.
