Phasmid Poll

[58ford]

Phasmids (or stick insects) are one of the few insects that make good pets.
If you had a pet Phasmid which would you prefer?

I think that the Baculum nematodes is probably the coolest, but, poor little guy, he just looks so fragile!

So I would go with the JUNGLE NYMPH for a pet.

I'd go with the Javan Leaf Insect, I'd tell everyone that comes over try to find him.

[Southern_Belle]

as long as i don't have to touch it or be anywhere near it and it is kept in a cage at all times - Baculum Nematodes. and i don't want to have to feed it either. actually - if i could just keep it outside all the time - that would be the best.

[pEtAl pUrr-Dog]

oh... and i forgot the other reason i chose the jungle nymph....


WHAT A COOL NAME?!?!?!?! hahahaha

[58ford]

I had to go with the Baculum nematodes Just because it looks too delicate to live.

[No-Halo]

I had to go jungle cause it reminds me of Mrs Halo with all those horns on its head. (I'm so gonna pay for that I'm sure) :smt118

[58ford]

I thought horns on ones head were a symbol of being a cuckold.

Since you don't let the poor, long-suffering woman near the computer, you should be OK. :smt118

[LoneStarGirl]

I'd have to go with the Javan Leaf-Insect simply because the others give me the creeps.

On a side note, I was just looking through the smileys and found this guy...:smt016...what EXACTLY is up with THAT? Very nice...

[Hermione]

Pet? More likely "kitty snack" -- I'd give one of 'em about five minutes in this house.

You better be careful. Improper use of that smiley will arch your back and curl your toes. :smt118
