Wow, Wayne, you have a nice large collection there! Nice variety- you're almost as bad as I am with the zoo you've got there! :)

[Hillsberry]

Wow. Amazing collection! Love the rat name Freedom. Sweet name! :P

[infernalis]

here is a recent "freedom" sighting....

[Hillsberry]

Well at least he is still alive. Looks like he is doing great

[infernalis]

we get a kick out of it, he comes out every night around 11:30-12:00.

He has been living under the kitchen sink, so we just clean under there twice a week to keep it as sanitary as possible, he never gets into the real food, and I have tried 100 times to catch him, no use...

I can't bring myself to using a "death trap" or poisons, so we just decided his name is freedom....

He was just a weanling when he got out of his cage, squeezed right out between the wires.

Now I house my rats in 55 gallon fish tanks.

[Hillsberry]

Hahahahaha! Well at least he is happy and eating great! Lol

[Will0W783]

LOl- wow that's cute! Freedom the rat. That's like my rat, Lucky. I got him as food for my carpet who was fasting and the darned 8 foot snake was terrified of the rat. The snake coiled up in the far corner and the rat curled up and went to sleep on top of his coils so I took him out and he was so friendly, and he started cleaning himself and sniffing me,...and that was it. I'm such a sucker...

[Hillsberry]

Wow thats a lucky rat. Bet my Jungle would have ripped a hole in the rat. Lol

[percey39]

Nice collection there, i would start charging people that came around lol. Im very jealous the "BOSS" doesnt want more snakes near the house, but i might just sneak another 10 or so in.

[infernalis]

Yeah, my kids keep bragging in school, and showing other kids on the library computers.

[Hillsberry]

Hahahahaha! I do that in my school. Even though I only have two snakes I am like Ha I have snakes and you dont! Ha sucks for you. Lol.

[percey39]

haha i have had many people from my girlfriends work come round to see the evil slimey beast lol. Obviously some one still likes bragging at work haha.

[shaunyboy]

thats quite the housefull you've got there mate,your list also helps me with pleading my case to the mrs " that we dont have nearly enough snakes in the house ".thanks for that.
cheers shaun

[infernalis]

Sometimes, (present company excluded) I like critters better than people.

[mommanessy247]

lol wow nice collection. eventually, by late 2012, i will have 1 female cinnamon ball python, 1 (hopefully female) blue & gold macaw & 2 fish tanks. we're not allowed to have dogs & cats because my in laws (the owners of this house) are allergic.

[emseeKAY]

lol thats quite the list you have there lol how many years has it taken for all of that?

[infernalis]

We moved in to this house in Feb 2007 with one snake.

As soon as we had a house with a spare room, it just started getting crazy.

[infernalis]

People still ask, So I edited the list in the first post to reflect current animals.

[youngster]

I've actually been wondering about this for awhile, was gonna ask you yesterday. Thanks you have quite the collection! I'm sooooo jealous of your Black Racer D:<

[infernalis]

Gets kind of expensive sometimes...

[Gungirl]

I feel like in a few years my animal list will be up there... I had 1 dog last year... lol and as soon as I sell this house and get my bigger house the list will expand again!


I love freedom.. lol to cute!

[youngster]

Gets kind of expensive sometimes...

I would imagine that ;)

[infernalis]

I feel like in a few years my animal list will be up there... I had 1 dog last year... lol and as soon as I sell this house and get my bigger house the list will expand again!


I love freedom.. lol to cute!

Sometimes, (present company excluded) I like critters better than people.

I can completely relate. Animals don't bring drama. They don't feel insecure and get mad because you aren't up there butts 24/7. They love you just the way you as long as you feed and water them on time! lol

[Gungirl]

Aww you caught him.... I'm almost sad for his lack of freedom now.. lol

[alessia55]

Wow, Wayne, you have a nice large collection there! Nice variety- you're almost as bad as I am with the zoo you've got there! :)

Kim I'd like to see your list!! I've seen them in person but can't list more than like, 5 of them :p

[alessia55]

Free no more!
Does this mean he'll become snake food? Or forever a pet now?

[Gungirl]

Does this mean he'll become snake food? Or forever a pet now?

I think he deserves to be a forever pet!

[infernalis]

I think he deserves to be a forever pet!

He was sold to the pet store with a batch of adults, Once they escape and spend any time loose, it's near impossible to keep them contained after that. I tried.

[stephanbakir]

Great collection, Kayla thinks thamnophis's are different savanah morphs.

[Gungirl]

oh...........:hmm:

[Kayla90]

-.- Only for a moment... I don't remember all the specific names all the time XD

There are sooo many to remember, I'm allowed a mishap every once in a while meany :P

[stephanbakir]

Varanus = monitors.

[infernalis]

Thamnophis - Translated = Bush Snake - Scientific name for Garter Snakes.

[Kayla90]

Varanus = monitors.
Well I remember that now after I looked it up when you said, "Nooo those are garter" :P

[lady_bug87]

As soon as we had a house with a spare room, it just started getting crazy.


That is what I am afraid of, my hubby and I are moving into a bigger place next summer and I already have plans for more critters.... lol

[infernalis]

We lived in a place where the landlord did not permit pets. He also did not permit aquariums due to potential water damage.

We did manage to convince him that one small snake in a dry aquarium could pose no property risk, he allowed us one pet snake.

Then my mom passed away leaving me her house and that wonderful property out back, We moved in during February, I gutted the family room and started putting in racks.

Before the first year was over living here, the reptile room was quite populated.

Chomper arrived on my doorstep that spring.
