He is green, he is a carnivore and his family originally come from North/South Carolina in the USA.


 What is he?  ( Hint  -  He likes eating flys  :D )

a fly eater?

Oscar the Grouch?

Bullfrog?

Shrek

A Venus Flytrap .  I have been reading about him on Wikipedia for the last 20 mins after bringing him home.  To be honest, I was slightly worried about having to feed him insects, but fortunately it says on wikipedia he doesn't actually need them to survive. I hate killing things, even insects.  My dog looked worried incase the plant was going to nick his dog food  :D

Here he is     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_flytrap 


I need a name.  Any suggestions?   

I already have a massive 13 year old Spider Plant called Gerald.


( Why has my text suddenly gone large?  )

did you press control and + by mistake?  Press control and - and it should get smaller :)

How about George?

seems a strange choice of plant for a vegetarian Sark.  Knowing your love of all living creatures, will you not feel upset when it catches the odd fly?

Thanks mate, I must have hit that by accident when typing a + in a PM I just sent.

George holds painfull memories for Gerald, he had two Brothers. One is called Locutus who lives in Glasgow, the other was called George, sadly he was killed after being knocked out of a tenth storey flat window by a cat.

I was in B&Q buying some compost and I saw him sitting on a shelf by himself.  I felt bad for him and he was only 39p.  The North Carolinian accent is starting to annoy me already though.  He keeps saying " USA, USA, USA ".

:D

the flies dont actually have to be alive when they are fed to the fly trap - dead ones will do just as well.

This way if you see any dead flies lying around just pick them up with a pair of tweezers and feed them to your new family member and you wont feel as guilty.

Not sure whether you get many dead flies just lying around in Kilmarnock - here in the jungle they are 10 to the penny!!  :D

lol :D

Call it Bush

Silo is a good name too :D

lol  .  It says on wikipedia people have fed them hamburgers, but the fat content is too high and they can't digest them.  I was slightly worried earlier because I noticed he had actually closed his teeth on his own leg/arm whatever you want to call it.  I hope he is ok. 

Bush  :D

ctrl and the scroll wheel on a mouse has the same effect.

Ctrl 0 (zero) should set it all back to normal.

ty ,  all fixed now

is it possible to over feed a Venus Fly Trap? I have a frightening thought that Sark may create some sort of Triffid type thing that could get out of control!!!

Anyone seen the Little Shop of Horrors :D

lol


I hope my local curry takeaway doesn't get one.  Then there would be Triffid's, there are flys everywhere. I never go near the place  :D

After reading the first half of the first page that was exactly the picture i had in my head, i was gonna say post some pics sark because i'd like to see what one looks like and if it could swallow you whole.........................................then i read it cost 39p >:(

well done sark :D

Call it Norman!

39p now, thousands soon :D

What did you decide on Sark?

I think Diane would suit

I think you should call it Willy ...... It would be nice for a fly to get stuck in Willy instead of the other way round LOL

 :dontask:

Thats my mums name!

Norman, Magdalene or Gertrude would suit it perfect

You'll think back to this statement next time you are being careless when doing up the zip on your trousers..........

 I thought I may call him  "Seth" after Jeff Goldblums character in the movie  THE FLY

what about "the beast"  :)

If plants are your family, do you have a chrysanthe-mum?

Poison Ivy's family were all plants.
