Aaaaaaaaaagh, spidey dance # 2

We have a bearded dragon.  She's lovely.  She's getting bigger and she hasn't had a proper meal since last Thursday.  She eats lots of veg and crickets.  A cricket looks like this:

Freaky, huh?  But the thing is I'm kinda used to them.  Yes.  I still shriek if the little buggers got knocked over and escape but I can pick them up without heebygeebying too much.  However, today the lovely girl in the pet shop remarked that she has seen me buying crickets for over a year now and by her reckoning the lovely Rex is ready for something bigger.  Hmmmm?  Bigger??  Have you ever EVER tried to drive a car with a plastic container, containg NINE of these beasts on the floor beside  you?   Even though they are in the passenger footwell you can hear the hopping and bashing the plastic lid of the container.  A flimsy lid that keeps them from you.  And they are big.  At least 5cm in length.  Uchhehehehehe (that's me shuddering)

Managed to make it to Home Store in Airside in second grear as was afraid the pressure of me changing gear would upset them and make them all start bopping off the roof.  Got to Airside, unloaded baby, buggy and went looking for what I was looking for.  But didn't find it.  Got back to car and loaded baby, then buggy and then chucked by bag into the passenger side of the car - see where I'm gong here?  The frickin bag knocked over the tub with the locusts in it and they all started bopping around the car.  Brave person that I am, I slammed the door shut and did the spidey dance.  Yep, I did lock the baby in with the locusts.  But he's a brave baby and they don't bite.  He does but the locusts don't.  So I'm told. 

Two guards were at B&Q for some reason and saw me heebyjeebying and came over to see what's wrong.  They covered me whilst I rescued the babe and then proceeded to catch the locusts.  Well, one of them did.  The other did his version of the spidey dance with me.  From a safe distance.  We ????? caught nine and I am hoping to the great lizard in the sky that there were only NINE in the box.  If not?  Don't fancy your chances if you're driving behind me today.  ICK ICK ICK.
