OUCH!
what was weird bout my ig though, was that he would go crazy if i put on fast metal, but would sit there and sway back and forth like he was drunk if i put on acoustic stuff. classical, etc. ....i wont forget when i tried to hide a marijuana plant from my parents, i put it in his cage, thinking he wouldn't eat it... he did. i was laughin so hard they thought i was out of it, so got busted anyway. hahaha. needless to say he had quite an appetite that day.
BOT: try the RTV, it just might work.
i have an 2 1/2 year old green iguanna he is my second one, my last one i gave up when i moved across country in the winter time, i did not want to take the chance of breaking down somewhere and having him die. i love iguana's as pets. my last one was about 5 foot long and he had lost his tail once, he free roamed the house but spent most of his time in this one window, it was always funny when i had guests over and he decided to walk up and say hi. i just finished building my current Ingunna an new castle that is from the floor to the ceiling and 4 foot deep by 7 foot across. he hasn't found an way out yet...lol

here he is when we first got him

Lets see that lizard castle!

And wow this thread got pretty far away from the truck question. I dont even know what you were asking about. Maybe we should split this thread off into a creepy crawlers thread or something. lol

It sure did! Good thing I got my question answered early on.

Thanks to everyone who helped steer me in the right direction. I think the FIPG is going to do the job!

It is hard to give someone the hibbie jebbies by showing them the danger of a skid mark in the dirt. On the other hand, passing a jar around the campfire with a live creepy crawler in it is going to make someones flesh crawl. So after a few more beers, the jar comes back out and the lid comes off. This is a second matching jar and in this one there is a small piece of bark or other inert item that roughly matches the color of the creepy crawler.

After some theatrics the piece of bark is flicked on the person who was identified earlier as being creeped out the most. The people who know this gag are entertained and the ones who don't are horrified. The kicker is the piece of harmless bark on the floor. This gag is universal and I have performed it at campfires around the world. It works great.

Lets just say I'm in between campfires at the moment.


is there someone you don't like?

Nah, That's what private investigators and lawyers are for.


planning to pull a "Honey Ryder"...

P.Galore is more my type of...

Bond Girl




Personally any insects that could potentially kill me that I find in my personal space have a date with my bug zapper [tennis racket type taser thingy] or else they take a ride on the whirlpool express...


By the way, when is the next jamboree?

Sorry to get back on subject for minute.........

After 3 weeks of having the truck on jackstands in the garage I finally got it all back together and everything seems to be working perfectly! I repacked the wheel bearings while I was in there too and that seemed to help out alot.

I drove it about 25 miles in 4WD and the FIPG seems to hold up great, for city driving at least.

Ok, creepy crawley talk can resume
