Pest Control

Kieran's Oshawa based cousin, Liam, had a critter party for his birthday (Thanks Steph and Chris) and it was both creepy, cool and gross at the same time.

Liam was handling a millipede. For some reason I thought millipedes were a lot smaller.

This thing was huge and had sticky feet which felt more like velcro, and not gooey like. The critter lady said it was from Madagascar.
I had it placed on my arm. I video taped it to show family and friends. It was a little dark in the room so it's kind of grainy. But it was creeping me out. WAAAH!

She brought out a blue tongued skink, which felt like a plastic corn on the cob.
Some miniature guinea pigs that looked like a mice.

The tarantula, we didn't get to hold, I think one of the kids would have been killed. Especially this one kid with a toy fan.

If a critter didn't do her in, Steph would have done the job.

There were meal worms, apparently they turn into beetles. But today they turned into food for a humongous frog and a hedgehog. These meal worms are one Fear Factor a lot.

No one touched the frog. The critter has teeth.

The chinchilla felt like a GUND. And Kieran was handling his cage like he was an airport baggage handler. There was also a rabbit. I was waiting for it to lay a chocolate egg and it didn't make a clucking sound.

There was this weired looking hairless guinea pig with red eyes.

The Boa was eerie. I felt all sorts of static electricity, from the snake. It could have been the way the boa was moving around my neck and into my shirt.

For some of the critters, it felt like a contestant on Fear Factor. Good thing I didn't have to eat anything.

Make sure you take notice of the first photo in the slide, this was the first critter that Kieran was handling. It has bulging and beady eyes similar to the hairless guinea pig.
We had to make sure we cleaned him well after that!
