Where the hell did you get pets like those, Subjective? South Africa?
I lived in Africa 'til I was 18. I used to catch chameleons at random. Walking home from school - Chameleon! Sunning it by the pool, look up - Chameleon! Climbing a tree - Chameleon! You get the idea. Used to keep them in the house and they ate all the insects and its fun watching them do it. Don't let 2 get near each other though or they start doing that black bloating hissing shit and when you're holding one that looks like the placid green one and look down to see it's freaking out its suddenly AHHHHGETITOFFGETITOFFNOOOOOW.
Eastern greens - or so we called em, not Eastern Green Mambas btw, though I did catch and keep a Black Mamba for a while (insane to think about it now, it caught that thing with my hands and a stick) - are harder to find and its just luck. Same with the bush babies. I luuurve the bush babies. If you see one eating nuts and don't go awwww you have no heart or soul and should be put to death asap.
My gf at the time used to keep a bunch of house snakes: (

She was a bit of a nutty hippy. Some of her friends had these bad boys:

deadly. I've always thought they were total idiots for keeping those things. What is the point of always being seconds away from a tortuous 12 hour death adventure of pain? What about "largest venom load in the known snake kingdom" didn't they get? Mind you I can talk; caught a black mamba.
I got bitten by a house snake once but they aren't venomous so it was ok. Worst thing I've been bitten by is one of these bad boys, a Baboon Spider:

Put my shoe on, left my room and BAM sharp pain in my toe and WFT THIS CAN'T BE REAL. Took them both of faster than you can
see and found one of those mofos hiding in the end. uurrrrgh. Hate to think about it. I'm sure I've told this story on here before. Damn spiders, I've always hated them, in and out of games.

Seconded. I'm all for self expression but I mean, wtf???
WHY would anyone want to do something like that to themselves??? It looks painful, you get bruises & black eyes and, well, you just look like a freak.
Honestly, some people's kids.
@SE; loved the bushbabies!!

As you can tell, I'm totally gay for these. Its the big eyes and the little human hands and the way they act so human.

He's cute! Is their fur close to what a chinchilla's fur would be like? Looks very soft.
I was trying to find this video, and yours is close to this one.

I swear those guys in LM's post, their pictures, they are resorting back to their Neanderthal ways, idiots, they certainly look like it!

God SE. I just died of terminal sweet & cuteness! I don't think I've ever seen anything so adorable. Do they make any type of sound?
That slow loris was also to adorable B'Arts. I'd much rather see sweet, cute & adorable than scary and nightmarish any day.

Way to post the same fucking thing heretic did. Did you even read the thread?
SubJeff on 2/7/2009 at 07:09
Yeah bush babies make this chittering sound. When they look at you with those big eyes and chitter as if to say pleeease put me down now or pleeease give me that but you will be hypnotised.
