@BleumoonSelene Thank you! =)

@watchensee OMG...you're awesome. 

[watchensee]

@BleumoonSelene No you're not weird. I'm a woman, and I own two tarantulas, and a kingsnake. I also played with slugs when I was a little girl. Slugs actually made better friends, because they didn't cause trouble. :)

@watchensee Haha, I'm just weird. I love leeches, spiders, snakes. From a safe distance of course.

@BleumoonSelene Aww I watched it again and you're right the little leechy-poo did jump back in it's box. I don't normally think of leeches as cute, but some how they are? {:/

[watchensee]

I thought the little leechy was going to start sucking blood from his hand!

[BleumoonSelene]

I guess the leech likes his box since he jumped back in. He was so cute.
