Default Options?

Hey guys,

I am keeping snakes, but I have for the time being, expired my space for them.

SO

I've been toying with the idea of a spider or something for a while.

What do you think would make a good choice? T? Scorpoin? What?

Something that's at least a bit handleable, something that don't take alot of room to keep as adult, but something nice/cool looking.

I've had a look at some "what 1st T" threads but feel free to suggest any type you come up with, as with any other such creature you think of.

Cheers.

fireflys look quite cool at night.
Or at least they do in cartoons

I remember a little book from school once, about a firefly, who wasnt old enough to glow and he was jealous so, he got a match and lit it and flew around but the match fell and caught fire to some stuff, and he got in trouble, their was a point to the book, the moral was dont play with matches.

Hmm, nope, that serch came up empty.
I was looking at T's the other day when I got my new snakes.
I've seen them before, but they just don't seem like something I could get out of the tank like I can with a snake.
Same for scorpions.

Hence the question in this thread. ( To set me straight if need be )

Nah, the moral is, Don't get caught.

we used to mush them up as kids and smear them on us so we could glow in the dark!
