[Clownfishie]

Well, you can see my reptile list in my signature :)

I've also got 2 cats (Levi, a male DSH; and Java, a female Ragdoll), 1 betta, and a marine fish tank. Before moving back out west earlier this month, I had 3 fish tanks -- a 90 gallon reef tank, a 27 gallon hex reef tank with seahorses, and a 25 gallon freshwater tank... I wasn't able to bring most of that with me, so right now I'm just in the process of setting up the 25 gallon as my one and only fish tank... eventually it'll be a reef tank, once I find the money to stock it up... LOL :)
That's it for critters right now -- but in the next little while once I'm settled in my own place I'd like to get a puppy as well :)

I used to deal in horses (high end), mostly showjumpers, and a little bit in the hunters as well; showed, trained, sales, etc. After my car accident I couldn't ride for a year and then I made the decision a while ago to get out of it completley... it was sad decision but I wasn't giving my kids the attention they deserved, and I knew they would be happier elsewhere :( So all but one have been sold. I attached an very old pic of me and one of my special guys.

Hmmm...I have 5 male bettas and the numerous snails that come and go in their tanks. I also had an African Dwarf Frog, but he died. I wanna get more, those things are hilarious!!! I have a rosehair tarantula and 2 mice (one is the size of a large hamster...my little fatty!!!). I've had tokay geckoes, a cali King snake and a rough green snake, oh and an Emperor Scorp. My list of wants is longer though! We are planning on getting a hedgehog hopefully and a bulldog eventually. I'd like some leos as well as chinchillas, but my bf says I'd rub the chins to death!!! (I like to rub velvety stuff...no dirty jokes guys, I'm very tactile-oriented). I'm not that into Guinea Pigs but I want some cause of the noises they make!!! And bunnies, and cats...I want everything!

Besides pets, I basically throw myself into every other interest I have, especially crafts. I love making stuff. And you should see all the forums I belong to!!!

[girraffasaurus]

Oh, and that's not my fat mouse in my avatar, that's the normal one. I'll try to find a picture of my big boy.

I don't have a very impressive list either - just a homicidal cat ( no kidding, she's insane). Nothing special, just an old barn cat with a crocked tail. We have an obese yellow lab too, she's old and not so bright... we have to keep her tied up because she keeps getting hit by cars.

[Alicewave]

Other than 2.2 Leopard Gecko and 1.0 Rosy boa I keep 0.1 Shiba Inu (Japanese guard dog). She is crazy. She jumps out of 2nd story windows without a scratch.

[snake_girl]

0.0.400 silkworms

But the list of what I want goes on for days. :cool:
As for other interests .. I am a learn-aholic. I love learning how to do new things. I've just recently closed my computer business (but still have 8 computers networked .. just for home use :D ) so I filled my spare time by learning how to make knives, swords, medieval armor (chain maile and plate) .. I built a forge for the knife and sword making .. I got back into woodworking and I'm trying to come up with the perfect reptile cage idea :rolleyes: .. I've done computer animations for the last 15 years (just part time stuff) I just love getting all the information I can about things. (as many of you can attest to after listening to my offgassing rants :cool: ) So there ya go .. that's me in a nutshell.

[North]

[stormyva]

other than reptiles I have.....
1 Dog
2 Cats
1 Horse
and a 5 Year Old Boy (According to him all the animals are his :)

So I guess I really dont have any animals.

[escm]

yea the lists on this page are VERY impressive. I currently just moved out of my parents house (well like 7 months ago) and am in the process of setting up my first ball python home. I plan on having everything set up by the weekend and THEN finally I get my snake.

other than a life long obsession with snakes (my mom HATES them so I had to patiently wait 21 years until I was in a poition where I had my own place and enough cash to properly support my love) I downhill mtn. bike and currently am working on a project acura integra. oh also i love coding java and i adore greyhounds and hairless guinea pigs (I bet my snake would love those little guineas too hehe *gulp* :p

id love to eventually have a snow red-tail boa and a piebald python. then again wouldnt we all....hehe.

p.s. - id also love to be able to say i had the cash for a snow/piebald.

[eyespy]

I only have 1 mammal, but he is the world's smartest cat, Buster. I'm disabled due to severe allergies that left me with heart and lung problems. He can tell if my heartbeat is too irregular to let me stand up without passing out and headbutts me until I sit down. If I do pass out, he bites either an earlobe or a toe to try and rouse me. If he can't wake me up, he has a special button to push to call the paramedics. He fetches my inhalers and epinephrine shot if he hears me having trouble breathing.

I have 3.1.1 budgies who make me smile. They are feathered anti-depressants and are just learning to parrot sounds, maybe I'll get another talker like my dear departed Saffron.

The herp count varies too much because of my rescues, but here is my own set of pets:

1.3.1 bearded dragons
0.0.1 green iguana
1.1.0 plains garter snakes (hets for albino and erythristic)
1.0.0 western ribbon snake
0.1.0 snow corn

Oh, and Amazon the iglet has a pet male betta fish that he couldn't keep his eyes off when I took him to the petstore. It keeps the assorted feeder fish for the garters company in the little hex tank that Amazon was stuffed inside at a horrible pet store.
