Thats what my pretty little Leech looks like when he stretches himself to wander around in his bowl. He is about 16 to 18 cm long and very thin when he's like that - when crouched his length is around 5 cm and he is thick like a thumb. Pretty awesome, ain't it?
That bowl is his home right now - it's much better than the small jar I had before as you can see it in the previous Pic: [link]
Mine is a medical leech - in Germany you can order them from a Leech Farm - and anyone can do this, so you don't need to be a doctor or a pharmacist or someting. But I don't know if they ship to other countries.
Yeah, and he eats me ^^ *chuckles* - every few month some 6 - 8 ml of my blood - that's much less than you give away at a doctors' for testing your blood or so.
I already told the story about how I got him. Try this link:

If you're not satisfied by that, please tell me.
And wait - I'm uploading the next pic right now. ^^
There it looks like Katsuyu - Tsunades slug from the anime 'Naruto'.
Aww and he feeds off of you? That's oddly cute. I want a leech now!
