I think it’s cool knowing what other pets people have, and pictures of them would be cool.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

I have a chocolate lab puppy, a german shepard-dauchsand mix, (I know, weird right!?!) and then some fish and a frog. 

 

Oh, and ants, almost forgot the most important ones.  :D

I keep 4 Reticulitermes hesperus (western subterranean termites) colonies. I caught 6 pairs back in November and most of them have around 12 workers. Much slower than ants.

I’m surprised not many people have said they have any reptiles. I have 4 leapord geckos, a colony of neolamprologus multifasciatus, a bunch of female kribensis and 1 male kribensis, 6 ember tetras, 1 betta, 4 pigmy corys, 5 anaeus Corys, 6 emerald eye rasboras, 2 garra flavatra, and lots of rams horn snails. Then I have a lot of baby fish from my kribensis. Then I have ants. Then I have 1 dog and lots of aquatic plants and a few terrestrial plants. I have to keep everything in my room which isn’t big because I live in a condo so I have to choose what animals I want to keep and make sure it’s something I like. Tarantulas seem really cool but I don’t think I would ever keep them.

I've got a dog, and until a few days ago a praying mantis. Luckily she laid an ooth before she died, so I might have mantids come spring. And then obviously the ants in my signature.
