At Least Tribbles were cute.

Walking Sticks reproduce asexually. This means that if you keep walking sticks, you soon keep lots of walking sticks.

Let me tell you about Walking Sticks as pets: they utterly lack personality, being quite adapted to blending in and not attracting attention. Your cat will jump on your lap wanting you to pet it. Your dog will carry the leash to you, hoping for a walk. The Walking Stick will sometimes quiver if the table the terrarium is on is bumped. It makes it look like a twig swaying in the wind. It is really quite cool. We do it whenever we have guests.

"Hey, look at the walking sticks and what they do when we shake the table. Cool."

And that is about it from Cute Walking Stick tricks.

And their babies are just adorable. They look like little, emaciated praying mantises, sort of. And when they get older they move less. Sometimes you will see one in the same position for five days. You will think, "I think it's dead. Tomorrow I will take it out." And the next day it will be in a different position.

So, we have a whole new crop of walking sticks. We may have to find a home for them...or feed them to the lizard (hey, that is an advantage to a walking stick as a pet: who would even briefly think of feeding the kittens to the dog if the cat has another litter?).
