from betty
thank you AngieQ and Rusty. I'm sure you are right.
Any ideas on numbers 8 and 25?
Also number 96 - Band that is unchanged (6,3)

many thanks Davec. This has been puzzling me for ages - trying to think of a band that never changed. Any ideas for the other 2.

Thank you to MaisieP.
Have you any ideas for number
8. Small lethal creature spotted in South America (6,6)

It's my last one and as usual I'm stuck.
Any help appreciated.

Sorry Betty I didn't come up with anything yesterday. There is a yellow spotted lizard in S.A. which can be deadly but I couldn't make a connection. This question is unanswered also on the Answerbank so others are struggling too.

thanks MaisieP.
I did think of rattle snake or horned lizard but neither of them seem to fit the clue.
Back to the reference books.
