Animals

Someone has been peeing on Gandhi's head, it seems.

While picking up some bricks at the Hakalau house we came upon a "nest" of blind snakes. Yes, contrary to popular belief, we DO have snakes here in Hawai'i. They just happen to be the size of an earthworm and blind. I was unable to catch the tongue flicking out, but you can clearly see the scales here.



And here's one of our crayfish. We got a bunch of these from Tom and Eve's stream on Thanksgiving. We put them in the tank and only ever saw one- the one that was a lot bigger than the others. We figured he ate the rest?
But then in January, out popped one that we'd never seen-- a smaller one.

I'm not sure if this is the big one or the small one.

Pippi thinks she's a human. Since we've had her it's been dry, dry, dry. Rains started and she isn't thrilled with the new chicken coop configuration. So she hangs out under the house. Mostly she sits ON the Honda....
and the other day we found her here.... right outside the front door.
We wouldn't care, except for the fact that Pippi, like all birds, poops ALL THE TIME. gross!


A solution is on the way! Stay tuned!
