G'day All
The newest 'member' of the household, Diego the Mexican Tarantula has settled in fairly well. He's been busily reading up on Flashlights and has been fiddling with them at night to get an idea of what they can do. This has caused a few problems with the neighbours as a Tarantula running round shining high power flashlights at things does tend to cause some sleepless nights.
Anway Diego has been told to stay indoors at night and not make the house look like a disco ball with lights flashing out every window.
Last night, just after I'd gone to bed, I heard Diego skittering round with a flashlight and then a lot of sqeaking and clunking so I got up and went to have a look at what was going on:

Apparently Fred wanted a midnight snack and Diego caught him in the act of sneaking back upstairs with it :D
Fred was not impressed cause he took off after Diego

Fred only had a Trainer in his feelers but Diego shot off real quick. I thought that'd be the end of it for the night but a few minutes later there was an almighty ruckus, Fred tore past me with Diego in pursuit!

It seems Diego had read about Fred's 'Antics' and was prepared for it!
I suspect things might calm down for a while now that Fred knows he can't pick on Diego just cause he's smaller that Fred, only time will tell though :D
