Congrats my feline brother! :D

Funny story  on the vinegaroon..
My first "Scorpion" encounter in TX was believe it or not in my living room of my old 3rd floor apt....... I saw my cat sniffing at something I couldn't see on the carpet....as I came closer I saw that Mr Scorpion blended rather nicely with the multi earth toned colors, LOL....Little fella liked to climb up high I guess, or Lord Vader brought him home....not sure which,  :?

I've run into these guys in the basin campground area a few times.  When I took the picture below, I swear the thing hissed at me as I knelt down to take its picture:

Count yourself lucky it didn't spray you with vinegar, hence the name.

Can you believe some people keep these guys as pets?  Then again, my Dad had a pet tarantula back in college.  He came home one day and found a few legs scattered around the floor along with a bunch of broom straws.  Seems the boarding house mother didn't recognize it as a pet after it got out of its box and found its way to the kitchen.
