Animals birds fish and reptiles?

[clare n]

Hello all after reading a thread about collections, I guess I collect creatures.... What other animals etc do you all have other than your beautiful tortoises?

I have two cats, (rescued) three terrapins (one rescued, a builder found him in someone's sink when they moved out ) four gerbils, (all male, rescued as a pet shop sold someone supposedly two females which then turned into 8...) an African grey called billy and a 7 foot marine fish tank

In the house as permanent residents we've got 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 parrotlets, 2 guinea pigs, 2 fish tanks (one gold fish, one tropical), 1 tarantula, 3 rats and 1 tortoise.
We also have 6 foster rats and one foster guinea pig.

I used to be a big snake-collector, but I'm shifting more to tortoises. I still have a couple ophidians in the house, though.

Haha yeah I guess I'd call us animal "collectors" to an extent Lets see if I can add this up in my head:

Starting with the mammals:
A metric crapton of rats lol - we breed them for the snakes and have a rat rack plus a couple cages going.
1 African pygmy hedgehog
1 guinea pig
1 long haired hamster

Amphibians:
1 African clawed frog

Legged reptiles:
0.0.1 redfoot tortoise
0.0.1 three toed boxie
4.5.2 crested geckos

Snakes:
1.2 australian water pythons (liasis fuscus)
4.5 Carpet pythons, mostly mutts but they are all pretty! (morelia spp.)
8.16 ball pythons, all sorts of morphs! (python regius)
0.1 children's python (antaresia childreni)
1.1 western hognose (heterdon nasicus)

I think that's it currently lol. The girlfriend is a manager at a pet store so we always wind up taking in sad little animals that people drop off as rescues, it's so much fun! We both love having a diversity of species around

Wow!! And I thought we had a housefull!!! The Pygmy hedgehog, what is he like? There Is one in our local pet place and I keep looking at him feeling sad for him... They had a monkey too rate for the uk. Frogs are interesting me lately too.... That was going to be my next venture but I want to get Phillips life 100% sorted before I start elsewhere he is my first priority now. 100 tortoises! Amazing. Do they all have names lol

Nay- how old is your grey? We are having problems at the moment. Maybe that's a different forum haha...

In addition to the 5 tortoises...

I have 9 or 10 snakes. The #10 is a little up in the air--my roommate took in a pair of Kisatchie corns, and I'm in love with the male. He's been tentatively declared "mine," but I'm still figuring out whether I really want one more corn.

The other 9 are two Corn snakes, two Rosy boas (Anza Borrego and Whitewater localities), San Diego Gopher snake, two BCIs (pretty sure both Colombians, though the male is pretty odd looking!), a Woma python, and a Taiwan Beauty Rat snake.

I also have a Bearded dragon, two Western toads, a Chaco Golden Knee tarantula, feeder breeder mice, a few rats (we have 8, I think, and about half of them are actually mine), two dogs, and a few Long-tailed lizards. Oh--and the Dubia cockroach colony, of course!
