    My vet will microchip a pet for $50, can't imagine that environment is any less hospitable than inside a tank pleat. . . doesn't provide active tracking, but it would ID your tank if ever recovered (i.e., if you saw one suspiciously like it listed on eBay...).

    OTOH, you could probably add a rider to homeowner's policy for less than that. Of course, that doesn't consider the rate increase/refusal to renew if you ever did actually file a claim.

    Wonder what Hamish's homeowner's (excuse me, manor owner's) insurance looks like?

    Well, between you and me, the Kilt Kollection is uninsured! It is rather like having a private art collection - the value can be so high that no insurer will cover it. I have to rely to the extremely high level of security I have installed at Bicknell Grange and the surrounding parkland. To give you a brief idea of what just part of this is, here is a quote from the Home page of my forthcoming new Website:

    "Anyone thinking of breaking into Bicknell Grange, my ancestral home in Sussex should note that I have recently updated the security precations protecting the Kilt Kollection, which is now housed in climate - controlled, underground high security vaults.
    The new vaults are a great success. The blast-proof doors took about 4 days to crane into position, and only I and my executors know the secret combination.

    Oh, and Horace the 22-foot-long python hasn’t been fed for over a year, but he has free run of the vaults.

    Getting the filtration system for the new shark tank working correctly wasn’t easy (regulating the salinity was a problem) but it’s now working just fine, and ‘Killer’ my 36-foot great white shark is very happy in his new home. A little hungry, perhaps, but happy."

    Take care,
    Ham..

    That's reassuring, Ham. How are the crocodiles adapting to life in the moat?

    Crocodiles?! Crocodiles? Where did you hear about the crocodiles, Sydnie? Who told you about them - I demand you tell me? Heads will roll for this! I suppose you were also told that the crocs are in the moat only in the summer months (they're not too good at survival under the winter ice!)? It has been so cold out in the parkland this winter that I am considering bringing in a herd of Polar Bears to roam free from late October to the end of March in future years ........... but not a word to anyone about this, PLEASE!

    Take care,
    Ham.
