we did lizards, scorpions (with close to 50/50 results) and random creepy crawlies we found like frogs, and small snakes but never a mouse. wow, that thing whooped that mouse.
If I can find it I'll post a pic my TC took danger close, and got a scorpion whacking the camel spider right in his hairy eyeball head. it was national geo quality of scorpion stinger to the head. camel spiders are absolutley NUTS, we used to keep a few in our tent just to have something to do after we got off mission. it was like a bloodsport, and I'm glad I got to see such a crazy creature. that are actually closley related to scorpions more so than spiders...so I am told. the Iraqis call them "wind scorpions". |

Wind scorpion, Camel spider, Freaking nuts. If my wife ever saw one of those, I'd come home to a house full of bullet holes. (IMG:http://www.snipersparadise.com/sniperchat/style_emoticons/default/bigun2.gif)

I recently read an article where a woman from Oregon got bit in the stomache by a Hobo spider and she had to have 10lbs of skin removed.
