Plus, they're a threatened species. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Gippsland_Earthworm The Giant Palouse Earthworm probably would also be a poor choice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Palouse_Earthworm Worms are quite interesting creatures. Not only are worms monoecious, but some reproduce via parthenogensis. Plus, some worms have the ability to regrow severed portions of their body, which, in extreme cases, can result in two complete worms from a bisected original worm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworms Anyone care for some delicious noke? ;-) Dave You should probably not opt to use the Giant Gippsland Earthworm if you’re looking for an apartment sized vermiculture, since these can reach lengths of up to 3 meters (roughly 9 feet!).
