St. Patrick's Day Do trouble-making leprechauns visit your house?

Mischievous leprechauns have been invading Steve Spangler's home for years. They turn the water green, turn the milk green and leave slimy green footprints on the counters. If building a leprechaun trap or turning white carnations green are part of your St. Patrick's Day fun, you've come to the right place for more holiday activities and luck of the Irish experiments. You can answer the questions...Do leprechauns lay eggs? How do they turn the water green? Do they have gold pennies? Where do they get special beads that turn green in the sunlight?
