People at work know I keep odd critters for pets, and I get these questions a lot. (included with answers I would love to give, but don't because I have the delusion that I can actually educate some of these people.)
"Dose it bite?"
Yea, anything with a mouth can bite. . .
"Is it poisonous?"
No, but I'm sure my stomach wouldn't be too happy if I ate it.
"Was it defanged?" (about tarantulas)
It couldn't eat if it didn't have fangs. . .
"Why?"
Because I want to keep people like you out of my house.
"Aren't you afraid it will escape?"
I don't want it to escape, but the thought of escape doesn't induce fear.
"Won't that thing kill you if it bites?" (about a Cal King snake)
If she happened to start chewing on an artery she could probably kill me. . .
"What do you feed them?"
People who ask too many questions and small yappy dogs. . .
(on frozen/thawed mice) "How can they still be alive if they're frozen?"
They're genetically engineered mutant mice.
"Are those colors natural?"
shhh. . .She gets a dye job once a month and is rather self-conscious about it.
