Right at the moment I have…
• 5 indoor cats + 1 outdoor 'barn cat' + 2 half-stray fosters in the cat run
• 1 goose
• inside fish: 2 goldfish + 2 bristle-nose catfish + white clouds 
• pond fish: gazillion Murray river rainbows + Murray catfish (tandanus tandanus); did have silver perch in there but the heatwave this year took them after more than a decade :(
• pond others: freshwater mussels, I think about 5 or 6 eastern long-neck turtles, yabbies, common froglets

I also have a larval human, it's nearly 8. It has…
• 1 centralian python named Hairbrush (at Daddy's)
• 3 snails 
• 1 whitefringed weevil named Rose Petal
• a jar full of miscellaneous that she calls her "zoo": millipedes, worms, isopods, adult beetles and some kind of beetle larvae, springtails…

Poor Ms. Hammy. It to bad they don't live that long. I used to have a hedgehod but it succumbed to wobbly hedgehog syndrome. 

 

 

Aside from my ants I have a Dog Named Winston. 

 

 

 

I think soon I want to get a pet fish.
