Re: Best/Worst Class Pets

How about a bearded dragon? They are very expressive for a
lizard. Also a carnivore, but eats plants as well. I have been
considering one. I love having a giant African millipede. They
are impressive with all of the little legs, and a great example
of a decomposer. They also have tiny little bugs on them, which
is a kind of symbiotic relationship. I never considered the
frozen mice. I always got live mice for the snake, and it was a
problem a couple of times when the snake was molting and the
mouse got too big before the snake was ready to eat...then I had
a new pet mouse. I may have to reconsider the snake. Some are
so beautiful.
