The west African armoured millipedes have bred, which is very encouraging. We were at the AES show back in September, when Graham and Janice Smith (who were sharing a stall with us) let us have a couple of pairs of these glorious creatures that were wild caught and had just come in from The Congo.
They were shagging themselves senseless, and continued to do so throughout the winter until the adults began to die off (we only have one, rather battered looking old chap left.
But look at this (using the cherry tomato as a size-comparison). There are at least a dozen of them and maybe more, but they won't reach adulthood for another 8-10 months or maybe more..
The first CFZ breeding success of 2008 (well, the second if you count Arabella's egg yesterday)
Aren't we doing well?
This blasted recession is really beginning to hit. Unlike some of our competitors we are not going to try and blackmail you into donating by saying that we won't continue if you don't. That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today... 
Richard Freeman's remarkable new book is now available. However, for some reason known only to themselves amazon.co.uk have listed it as taking 3-5 weeks to arrive.

Blimey, when I read the headline I thought Corinna had a bun in the oven!!!
More than one in fact - row upon row of little cherry ones in very attractive flowery paper cases, rising nicely ready for their dubious passage into the unknown depths of Oll's and Jon's digestive tracts!!!
She always has buns in the oven with a man like me around fnurk! fnurk!
Wayhay!!!!
PS I just got a slap around the jowels for that last comment
Corinna bullied me into writing the last entry, and as I was slow, she got frustrated, pushed me out the way and wrote the end herself - she can't spell jowls (not that I have any with my slim boyish good looks)

You like watching millipedes shag? Well I never, these humans fetishes never cease to surprise me. In the absence of gorilla porn, I'm quite happy to watch humans go at it.
EKK!
I think I'm too young to read all this pervered filth!...
Do grasshoppers have such depraved sex lives?, should I watch them instead?
