You're so right Jayden it would be awful to lose these especially when they have spices all over them.

I haven't seen one of those in years :( I REALLY hope they don't go extinct those little guys are the most unique and docile yet fearsome creatures I know and they should live all around me but they're going away

Fabulous little animal. Nice photos too. Hope you mean spikes not spices... don't want people to start cooking them.

For a few years they were very scarce but now they are making a strong comeback!!
