    Yes he was a big boy. I gently stroked his back and he puffed up even bigger as a defensive action.
    I find it a fascinating species particularly for its toxic excreations that have been used for everything from hair growth, aphrodisiac, possibly treating prostate cancer, in cardiac surgery to lower the heart rates of patients and for pregnancy tests.     Posted 2 years ago
