Other Pets
 

Anyone here have other non-fish/dog/cat pets? Just curious... wanted to hear about how much people like their iguanas, rabbits, ferrets, whatever.. and how hard the upkeep is ;)

My oldest daughter had a California King snake for about 2 yrs ... grew to 4 ft long ... pretty good temperment for a snake really ... only advice is get a 10G tank to feed it in so it gets used to eating in there ... if you feed it in the main tank you wont be able to put your hand in without fear he will strike at it thinking it is food :eek: ( really bad eyesight but excellent sense of smell ) ... they actually hunt/kill rattlers in the wild as food :cool:

Cat,and an Austrailian Bearded-Dragon.
At one point in the past had over 200 snakes and lizards :mrgreen: everything from corn snakes to larger lizards.

Cirtron Crested Cockatoo (Rupert - after our favourite Survivor). Kind of messy, but fun to have around. Talks some, but only when he feels like it (has cat's blood or something). :biggrin: Used to have 21 birds & 5 cages in our basement suite, along with 7 sm-med.sized fw aquariums. Now just Rupert & 4 SW (20g, 33g, 35 Hex, 100g). Less expensive to keep Rupert (corals & SW fish is like paying for a cocaine habit, eh) :razz: :lol:

really curious about the preying mantis... thats cool!

I keep two saltwater mantis! :)

umm where to start.....

1 lovebird

I used to have a cat long time ago before I was married. My wife is extremely allergic to animal hair, so I got into fish instead. So when she "notices" how much I spend on my tanks, I tell her its her fault. :lol:

We've got two dogs, a bichon-cocker cross who's 13 and a bullmastiff who's 6, and 5 tanks (4 freshwater, 1 reef).

I used to have corn snakes and a leopard gecko but Zerandise has them now :)

:eek: How do you guys have a life with so many different pets? I have my 3 tanks (two salt waters connected together so basically one tank, one fresh water tank that almost takes care of its self and a cat. I couldn't imagine having dogs, birds, lizards ect.. on top of what I have now. I was going to get some birds.. finches.. but I was at my buddy's house for 3 hours the other day and his damn bird never shut up :mrgreen: that idea has been put on the back burner.. I wouldn't mind if it sang a bit in the morning and at supper, but for 3 hours solid hehe
