Those are called walking sticks in English, Johnny... or at least, in American [img]smile.gif[/img]
We just got an exotic pet on Sunday... four hermit crabs (one for each of us). There's Buzz Lightyear, Angel/Ariel (my daughter can't make up her mind), Aquata, and Stumpy. Mine's Stumpy.
It's been... interesting, so far. Stumpy is the most active, although Aquata pulled a new one on me today. She climbed up the plant in their glass house and was hanging on the metalwork on the top. When we opened the top, she got a better grip... and nearly became a hermit crabcake a little later on when I tried to close it. Honest -- I didn't see her!
Fortunately, she made it through okay. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
First pet for me in a long, long time... and for the kids, first one ever. We'll see how well it goes... [img]smile.gif[/img]
