Author Topic: word of advice - never feed a lizard a fireflie  (Read 1214 times)

my brother, mack (mackthehunter), just accidentally fed tetra aka the dinosaur a firefly.

fireflys are apparently super poisonous to small lizards and have a chemical in their ass that causes a lizard's heart to stop.

HOPE AN PRAY, BOYS AND GIRLS, THAT THE DINOSAUR LIVES!

HOPE AND PRAY!!

EDIT from mack:

Hey guys, long time no see (err, talk, w/e). Yeah, I just fed Tetra a firefly accidentally. Apparently the poison begins to take effect after 30 minutes. These effects include violent head shaking, vomiting, constant bowel movement, their skin darkens alot, and then they can (CAN) eventually die.

...it's been one and a half hours. She's still fine.

Hope guys. Hope that Tetra lives for me. I'm to the point of crying right now.

This could have been avoided if you would have read the damn manual for what to feed it.

How did the fireflie get in there in the first place?

He caught it either outside or through a window.
Or he's magic and made it appear in his hand.

If he knew it would be something hazardous towards Tetra, then why did he catch it?
