Prowling the house and yard:

1 Border Collie (Rex, or Rexie, or Oi! - he hears that name a lot )
1 Australian Heeler (Maddie, or Mads, or Mad-Dog! - said with affection)
1 Cat - (Mellie Bellie, or Mells Bells, or MEL! - shouting at a cat is rather pointless; but I do this anyway)

In the outside pond:

1 shobunkin (She's old, huge, and unnamed - she prefers it this way)

In tubs outside:

100's of Daphnia (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner & Supper)

In an outside aviary:

Peach Face Love Bird (un-named).

And Inside...

Fish Tank:

2 Black Moors (Goggles and Goggies)
2 Comets (Un-named)
4 Shobunkins (Un-named - and will one day join the big girl outside)
3 Water Snails (so far...these haven't felt the urge to multiply)

In the Axolotl Tanks:

Ambystoma mexicanum (6.4.1) (Various colour types).
Water snails galore! (they do an excellent job keeping the tank walls clean).

 

[Kaysie]

Ambystoma mexicanum (1.1.X) (one melanoid male, one eyeless female, their perpetual offspring-leucistics and wildtypes)
Ambystoma jeffersonianum (0.3.0)
Ambystoma tigrinum (0.0.3)
Taricha granulosa (0.1.0)
Siren lacertina (0.0.2)
Ball Pythons (1.0.0)
Rat Snakes (1.1.0)
Eastern Milksnake - neonate (0.1.0)
Obnoxious Cat (0.1.0) (Al, rehomed to 'Grammies')

Additionally, between my roommate and I we have:
1 obnoxious cat (1.0.0) (Cheetoh)
1 Gallah cockatoo (Rosie, AKA The Pink Menace)
20 something chickens (maybe closer to 30 now, all named "soup")
3 adult yellow anacondas (Sunshine, Louise, and a recently acquired male)
4 juvenile yellow anacondas
2 green anacondas
2 juvenile redtail boas
1 water monitor
2 Argentinian tegus
2 carpet pythons (one Coastal, 1 Jungle)
2 adult Crested geckos
2 juvenile crested geckos (and some eggs)
1 Goliath bird-eating tarantula
2 Sulcata tortoises (Vader and unnamed female)
3 ponies
6 Rabbits (Claude, Maude, some of their offspring, mostly snake food)

I think that's everyone.

 

[NecturusLindsay]

Kaysie, you have a zoo! I don't think I could live in the same house with a Goliath tarantula. I flip when I find the occasional Orb weaver in my hair after being in the dairy barns....

Anyhow,

Between my dorm room and my home in Fl, I have:

-One Cane Corso "Petra" ...that would be her showing off the aviators

- 20+ Peacocks

- A 30 gallon reef tank with a stunted perc. clown, a fairy wrasse, a hawkfish, two seahorses that enjoy sucking my hermit crabs out of their shells, and a few baby horseshoe crabs. Unnamed aquarium fish are living aquarium fish...golden rule of saltwater. I name it, it dies of some strange Darwin Award-worthy death.

- A small pond with a few third generation (and incredibly inbred) fancy-tail comets, and whatever else has moved in over the years. I see amphiumas once in a while.

- A rather large and spiffy aviary that houses about 14 rare breed Silver Gray Dorking chickens. My rooster, "Wolfie", is a porker AT 13.5 LBS! And, would rather be a house chicken. Also home to a buff polish rooster "Peeps" and a few sex-link hens.

- Two Quaker parrots, "Froggy", and "Hooch"

- Two (used to be 150) peach-faced love birds.

-And then, my caudates and a vicious beta fish named Mushu...he hates me.

 

[Travisdjtg]

hey, new here. dont have any caudates yet. (doing my research)

-Grizzly, a 4 year male Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever mix adopted from the SPCA (He LOVES water)

[Kerry1968]

Ok my lot look quite insignificant compared to your complete zoos!

I have.......

1 big hairy dog (Golden Retriever)
2 scatty female cats (1 might be pregnant)
1 Kassina senegalensis (frog)
1 White's tree frog
1 juvie crested gecko
3 guppies
4.1.1 axolotls
0.0.5 alpine newts

2 goldfish and one shubunkin outside

 

[Azhael]

HA! And my parents and friends go mental saying that i have waaaaay too many animals.
Other than my newts/salamanders i just have:

-Female Lampropeltis triangulum sinaloae
-Male Grammostola rosea
-Undetermined numbers of Neocaridina heteropoda var.red cherry
-A few Gambusia holbrooki for breeding.


And i have to admit i´m starting to find that my limit is pretty much this...granted the main reason is that i live in a rental house. I fear what i´ll become once i have my own house....

 

[Otterwoman]

I'm with Azhael...suddenly I feel like a slacker, I have 5 cornsnakes, three cats, and three ferrets, in addition to my sals. But one ferret = 3 ponies and 20 chickens in how much you have to run around and clean up after them...

 

[Kaysie]

Azhael, I love Sinaloans! I used to have a Ruthven's. And at the last expo I NEARLY picked up a ruthveni/alterna cross. Buuuut, I didn't. D'oh!.

Our zoo is perpetually evolving. We 'rescue' animals and rehome them a lot. We just got rid of three 6+ feet redtail boas. I just got a new tiger salamander. We just sold 30something anacondas. I just got a milk snake. It changes daily.

We're thinking of charging admission to the house.

 

[Salmonella]

Wow! Lot of zookeepers here Even though I am renting I was so lucky to find a place that would allow 3 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bearded dragon and aquariums. I was near homeless before I ran into this place just in the nick of time (I'm too old to be living in a car just to keep my animals, it was getting pretty scary). But I cannot live without them....

 

[freves]

In addition to all of the salamanders, a geriatric leopard gecko colony, 1.0 R. ciliatus, 0.0.1 Grammastola pulchra, and a pyxie frog I have recently taken in a group of Eurydactylodes agricolae, a bunch of hermit crabs, 2 pink tongued skinks, 1.2 redfoot tortoises, and 1.0 R. leachianus. I do not need to spend time with my family anyway.

[Kaysie]

Leachies are awesome. I've got some friends who bred them.

 

[Jake]

5 Prairie ringneck snakes
1.2 ltc sneider's skinks
12 common musk turtles
14 red eared slider turtles
9 yellow belly slider turtles
7 Midland painted turtles
6 common snapping turtles
2 Florida red belly turtles
1 Mississippi map turtle
6 barking tree frogs
1 green tree frog
2 sulcata tortoises
2 rabbits
1 Rio Grande slider turtle
1 Eastern painted turtle
3.2 Western painted turtles

...and a partidge (but no pear tree)

 

[Azhael]

Azhael, I love Sinaloans! I used to have a Ruthven's. And at the last expo I NEARLY picked up a ruthveni/alterna cross. Buuuut, I didn't. D'oh!.

They sure are! My female is just lovely, she is the sweetest thing, and her colors are beautiful. I like anything Lampropeltis xDDD The alternas are absolutely stunning, i can´t see why anyone would want to corrupt them..damn the snake market!!!

 

[Kaysie]

I think this one was an 'oops'. They had a lot of pretty alterna, and pretty ruthveni, and then this one, which had broken saddles of color. Oh it was COOL looking!

 

[petlover516]

Wow, and I thought I had a zoo...
Well at least nobody else has a SHARK!
Wow NecturusLindsay! You have pet peafowl! Blue, Green, or purple(I've always wanted a muticus or a purple)?

 

[Blaze]

[fishkeeper]

Seems like we have a lot of turtle, snake, and fish people on here(as well as the more usual pets).

Mine own little creatures
female singapore blue tarantula(looking to sell/trade this girl)
female Brazilian red/white tarantula(Nhandu chromatus)
female Cameroon red baboon tarantula(Hysterocrates gigas)
2 musk turtles
bluespotted sunfish


Looking to get a snake of some kind. Maybe a hognose, milk, mtn king, African house, or similar colubrid. I absolutely adore tricolor hognoses but they are a bit on the high side and I have no spending money of that kind ATM.

Kaysie: How much do normal ruthveni usually go for?

 

[caudatadude28]

I just have one leopard gecko and two dogs in addition to my newts and sals.
