I had no choice about the snake. I was wearing a summer dress, very thin material, at a school fete thing.

Someone in the 'reptile room' told me to sit down, and placed this 'baby' python on my lap.

It makes me feel a bit sick thinking about it now. I get goose bumps all over. They are warm(ish) which you kind of don't expect, and although they aren't, they 'feel' slimy.

I certainly didn't stroke it !

Never, ever, again.

I storked a tarantula once. It was at some sort of 'kids, meet the creepy bastards' event at a zoo. Was furry, not unpleasant. I got some a bit of sloughed-off snakeskin to take home with me.

Joolyjoolyjoo · 11/08/2011 17:44

Loving the vicious gay swans Grin I can see them now, mincing about the village, criticising people's interior decorating!

AbsDuCroissant · 11/08/2011 17:45

Agree mrsdonkey - it's the warmth that's freaky. And also they're so muscly

AbsDuCroissant · 11/08/2011 17:46

LOVE the gay swans as pay back.

Mwah ha ha.

Apparently there's a very vicious goose in St James Park in Lahndahn.

Awomancalledhorse · 11/08/2011 17:49

A grey squirrel bit me in Holland Park, Kensington for trying to feed it a Quaver.
Ungrateful little Yank.

Nature is very dangerous, Geese hissing is possibly the scariest nosie ever.

DioneTheDiabolist · 11/08/2011 17:53

I read Watership down. They are not fluffy or velvety. They are nasty, violent, facist rapists.

Frogs indulge in some very questionable behaviour. That's why it's called frogs porn Wink

I'll take that vicious goose in St James's Park and raise you a cannibal pelican Abs. It scoops up pigeons whose death struggles in its pouch are viewed with dread fascination by tourists clutching their toddlers by their side.

Actually, its neck pouch is a bit Burchillian. But that's for another thread.

Donner · 11/08/2011 20:33

This ones not a rapist!

Oh my goodness gracious me, i want one of these and my rough brutish toddlers are never getting a shot!

LadyBeagleEyes · 11/08/2011 21:22

Beagles have the velvetiest ears ever.
Tarantulas are fluffy, I also stroked one once. Think fluffy hamster.
It's the eight horrible legs that put you off, they're ok if they're sitting perfectly still but they scurry along in a horrible spidery way.
If they had little bunny legs they could be quite cute.

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 21:25

Abs

Muscly ! What a good word !

Not what I want when I am holding something against my will that could, potentially, kill me !

AuntieMonica · 11/08/2011 21:25

but some have hairs they shoot at you, in manner of poison darts! Shock

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 21:27

There were vicious geese in our local park.

So vicious were the little sods, there was a campaign and they got moved. They were literally terrorising the local families, which doesn't make feeding the ducks a fun pastime !

Having said that, I think there is also a sign now asking people to not feed the ducks, as they are getting too fat !

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 21:29

AuntieM

Lovely !

AbsDuCroissant · 11/08/2011 21:31

There's also dive-bombing pigeons or one that accidentally flew into my face in Green Park.

That's another one - PIGEON. They feel awful. They're just filthy and covered in grossness

mrsdonkeybucket · 11/08/2011 21:33

Pigeons = Rats with wings. Grin

MadameLupino · 11/08/2011 21:34

My ducks used to eat frogs, it made the frogs squeak really quite loudly.

And my rabbits are not fluffy or velvety, they are crispy like a wank mitten because they have overpowering homosexual love for one another. I would wash them but it's too cold so crispy they stay.

AbsDuCroissant · 11/08/2011 21:35

Now, imagine that flying into your face.

exactly

ScrambledSmegs · 11/08/2011 21:45

Grin mrsdonkey I was 10! I'm pretty sure that snakeskin has either crumbled to dust or was put in the rubbish by my mum years ago. I did think it was pretty cool though, and was indeed the envy of all my friends for about 48 hours!

No, pigeons are lovely. They're friendly and plump. The fetid things we have in London are actually Rock Doves.

Holland Lops are cuuuuuuute! Me want!
