Thank you Madam for the interesting info and no it wouldn't be a good idea to keep as a pet. I don't like venomous spikes! LOL

Thanks Alan...I almost wanted to keep it as a pet!

When I first glanced at this, I thought someone chopped a little coat on him 
LOL Kyricom, I would have lost money on a bet with this one if I had not seen it myself, I wish I knew the name of this critter.
