At least no one is making fun of my bow tie... it has avoided notice/ridicule. Sadly that hat and the bow tie are the pinnacle of my green stuffing abilities.
I'm totally fine with Torti. I'd like muzzles for the Ripperdactyls. They keep eating all my snakes, and they are almost impossible to train.
Hmm. They would have to taste awful otherwise the Rippers would just eat them. They would have to be hard to remove as well, or leave such a bad taste that the rippers wouldn't even think of eating something else for quite a while. How about some kind of frog? Feed it coffee beans for weeks, then feed it to the Ripper every time it looks like it's going to eat one of your snakes. The sticky frog juices will mean it won't leave the Ripperdactyls mouth for at least a couple of hours. If that taste doesn't put off the Ripperdactyl, nothing will. Small print - the caffeine may make the Rippers infinitely worse to be around. Otzi enterprises takes no responsibility for the action of any hyperactive Ripperdactyl, and if bitten or stepped on we suggest making your way to the nearest slann as soon as possible.
