Hi...I'm the newbie from Washington. I'm a animal lover and would have at least 1 of everything if I could afford them and lived on a farm.LOL
I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 Bull Frogs, 3 Corn Snakes and at this time 21 mice. Only 8 of the mice are pets. We breed them to feed the snakes. The babies only stay around for a few weeks. I'm just getting together info to start a small 10 gal fish tank. If I continue to behave this year I'm hoping Santa will bring me a pair of Lepard geckos or 1 gecko and a bearded dragon. My sweetheart won't let me have a rat...so I just have to enjoy my grandsons. I am hoping to add a goat in the Spring. I live on an acre of land and have a horse stall...so the Kid would be happy, Now if I can only convince my landlord to let me get one. he keeps saying next year...yeah right! Ok, I guess I better tell you about the pets I have.
Sam is a 6 year old Lab mix pound puppy. He's traveled all over the world with me. He thinks he's my little boy and has me well trained.
Freckles is a 10 mo. old 1/2 Austrailian Shephard(blue heeler)and 1/2 Austrialian Cattle Dog. She was a gift from our neighbor last christmas. Her nick name is Spazz...she never stays still and herds everything and everyone-LOL
Puddy-Wuddy is our 2 year old domestic boy...black and white in color. We tried for 1 1/2 years to keep him as an indoor cat...but he refused...lives to be outdoors during the day. He loves stalking prey in the woods.
Bella is the little girl of the group...she is ultra girly and delicate...NOT! She fluffy and gray and adores her daddy. Always has to be hanging on him...even sleeps under the cover with him.
We have 2 male mice, Garfield, a golden, fancy mouse and Chuck his son who is white with a pale golden tint. Both are quite fat and great breeders! The girls...there are 6, Spot-black & white like a cow, Little Mama- golden brown, Brownie- white with brown spots on her eyes and rump, shes also long haired, Goldie-golden of course, Jumpy-same as little mama and finally the newest breeder Dew Drop-she black with tinge of gray on hair tips.
The Bull Frogs were just raised this year in a tank from tadpoles we caught at the lake. My grandson named them Hopper and Hider. Good for feeding all those darn grasshoppers to!!!
The snakes are Albino Corn Snakes we've had since they were hatchlings, 3 days old. They are almost a year old and have grown from around 8' to 2 ft. Baby-male and Racer-female are Amelanistic corn snakes, also called red albinos,and are beautiful snakes that lack the black pigments of a normal corn snake. Shadow-female is a Anerythristic corn snake, also called black albinos, they lack the red pigment, leaving a mostly black, gray, and white snake. She is also type 'A' anerythristics, which means she has some yellow pigmentation. Hers is on the face and neck.
So now you've met my family. Hope I did not bore you too much. I just get carried away telling about them. I would love to hear about your pets, especially those who have reptiles. I'd really like to gain some in-side infomation from owners of geckos and bearded dragons. I also like Tarantulas. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to this post.
Pic is of Freckles and the Snakes. She is very good with all the other animals.
