Default critters

I think Geoff's next pet will be one of these :

Will take care of those crickets in no time .

During Summer , they patrol up and down the fence here , seeking out bunnies . I've been startled a few times as they are difficult to spot in the scrub as I walk up to the letterbox ... worse than joe blakes .. you normally hear them before making eye contact ...

We have agricultural pesticides that do wonders on crickets. If you're not careful they'll work on lots of critters you'd like to keep around too.
As you can see in the pic, crickets tend to get to be a nuisance around here at times.

So you'll be left with just one goanna. Sort of reminds me of an old Warner Bros cartoon (I think starring Sylvester the cat) which started with a mouse, then a cat was needed and wound up with an elephant which then needed a mouse to remove it. Perpetual motion.
