It would be interesting...I think your butt would be in the air!! It's a huge crate and it's next to my bed. When she settles, she'll come up on the bed. Damned mosquito bit me on the cheek. On my face because I know where your mind just went, lol.
I don't like them much, either. My brother used to torment me with them when I was a kid. As an adult I did some aversion therapy and now I can tolerate them, but still don't like them much.
How about one of those little lizards that look like dragons? They are really cool. I'll have to ask my daughter the name of them. If it were up to her we'd have a damned zoo. You're out on the deck with me, my wine, and Luna.
I promise! Why not? They stay in a large fish tank. Not much work and I have to say they're kind of cute. They look just like little dragons. Not like other lizards. I'd have one if I wanted another pet but I have enough between the rescues and the others. They live long, too, I think. I'll get the info and send it to you on FB.
