Two questions:
How long have you been in the creatures community and
What are your main strengths in the CC? (such as being good at websites, genetics, ext)
Do not upset the ugly worm, lest it be a dragon in disguise. (>oo)>

Thanks everyone!
I've been in the CC since about mid-2003. I have an ancient blog on A2K that corroberates this story. Malkin's ancient blog - it's mostly whinging about school and stuff. I forget how much of it is public.
I don't think I have any of my own *strengths*, per se... My website is a page on The Norn Adoption Center, and my gengineering and cobbling projects were for C1, which I've lost my CD for.
I guess it could be encouraging people? :S (Does that count?)
(And yes, I really should be packing my bags. )
My favourite thing in the CC... My favourite thing in the CC... hm... The People!

The weather was beautiful for us - too dry for the frogs/insects etc. however! I found a pink cone snail! (quite possibly at Risk To Life And Limb, to boot - they're poisonous)

That is interesting. I'd never heard of toxic snails before. Better you than me who found it, I guess, lol. Are toxic snails a widespread ecological niche, or something unique to Australia?

Toxic snails, along with Drop Bears, are some of Australia's most dangerous animals. If the slime of a toxic snail touches your skin, its kind of like acid - it corrodes your skin slightly, making it red and itchy.
The slime (or snail) if ingested can cause muscle paralysis and even heart failure in extreme cases.
Not very pleasant, eh?

Seems like all the world's most deadly things live in Australia...
Malkin: Cheese, Carrots, or Tomatoes? |

Don't tease the foreigners, Liam! Besides, *everyone* knows that cone snails (a family of molluscs native to warm seas in the Asia-Pacificish) impale you with their toxoglossan radula (a rough calcium needle, mostly used for scraping) and inject poison into you.
The thing is, that although they're deadly, their shells are generally very beautiful... :S
As for its niche, I can't really say what that is - perhaps carnivorous mollusc?
The one I found, I didn't disturb very much. Once I saw what it was, I just put the rock back, veery slowly.
Yes, a lot of the deadly things do live in Australia.
Can I do cheese and tomatoes? mmm...
