When we brought this home from our friends' house to show Seth, he immediately wanted to phone his cousin who once-upon-a-time had these at pets. Believe me, they were never as big as this one!
Seth ended up letting it go, thinking it would have a better life out in the wild. We don't really know where Seth got his interest and compassion for all things insect, reptilian, amphibian, etc., because although I find the information about them fascinating, I can't say there's any love lost between us. And I think Shaun is even more hesitant about these animals than me!
