Hi everyone :),
Here's some of my pets ;).

My two cats, Bungee and Butter, are 8 years old now and we got them for free from our neighbor. They are the best cats I have ever had, and they look nothing a like :D

Bungee is about 7-8Ibs and Butter is about 18Ibs

Here's Bungee :)

Then I have some random insects and arachnids from outside that aren't exactly normal, or they are hurt or something. And I have my firebellied newt, and then when I go camping I might find something cool to bring back.

I love Bungee and Butter, they are beautiful! How do they react to the other critters? My cats always try to hunt the odd little fellas that get into the house occasionally.

I used to have a beautiful tarantula, named Henrietta. I don't know if it was a male or female but that was her name anyway.

My cats don't ever get into anything unless I leave it out where they can get to it. And they never really try to get into or attack any of my other pets. They just don't seem to care :ha:

Then I keep all my plants up on shelves or in higher places where they either aren't allowed and don't go, or can't get to.

I will check out those threads you posted :) I am getting pretty busy right now though. I am packing for camping and have a couple forums up going at the same time, then theres always my trade going on craigslist.com. I am going to end up going nuts ;)

Oh, and my tarantula is female, I sexed her the last time she molted.

Talk to you later, and have a nice day :D

Oh boy, do you own a pet store!? :ha:

We've only ever owned dogs and fish, but lately I've become interested in expanding my armada to include exotic species such as furry rodents (such as chinchillas) or non-domesticated dogs (such as wolves or foxes).

How cool would it be to walk down the street one day with a fox on a leash?!

I do think foxed and wolfs are cute :) but they wouldn't make a very good pet. It would be cool though ;)

:ha: If I owned a pet store I wouldn't make any money because I 1) wouldn't hire anyone because I am overly protective and 2) I wouldn't sell anything ;)
