You know, it's kinda funny... Even when I was a 5 year old girl, I never had a problem with snakes, bugs, frogs or anything slimed. Lol. I've had frogs, an 8foot red tail boa, and one black shiney 11" salamander. I caught it right in the ditch in my back yard. I had it for 8 years!!! I honestly don't know how he stayed alive that long. He was in a small ten gal. And ate nothing but blood worms. But that was when I could find them fresh. Baby Sinclair has a Friggen Castle in comparison! Anyways, I was goin somewhere with this. Lol Oh! In all my years of living in Whatcom county, all the hiking I've done. I have Never, Ever seen one of these guys before. I actually found Sinclair in Veneta Oregon. When I found her, I felt like an old cartoon character saying "I'm gonna love him and hug him and make him my friend....." I think I just dated myself. Lol. Anyways, you know what I mean. Lol. He was to cute to let get eaten by the lawn mower along with 19 pacific tree frogs I saved from the mouth of the mower as well.
