Updated pet thread! (Spiders, snake, lizards, ferrets, etc)

Unread post by Zuilu »

My old thread is horribly outdated so I figured I'd organise a new one rather than revive the old one. Some rescues have come and gone, so I'll just post pics of what is living with me now. I'll start with the fluffies and move into the creepy crawlies ;) If you're squeamish about lizards, snakes, or spiders you probably don't want to look. I'll put the tarantulas at the very end of the post though, so you can keep looking if you want to see the other critters. :)

Luna the kitty! This is rather outdated but she's a nightmare to photograph. She's extremely..neurotic. >.> the vet thinks she's brain damaged. We still love her though :3
Image

Rose was a rescue from a very bad home where she had to compete with food with 4 other cats. She was very malnourished and flea ridden when we took her home, now she's put on quite a bit of weight and is flea-free :)
Image

Gizmo snoozin' with his widdle tongue out :3 Gizmo, unlike Rose, was adopted from a good home who just simply couldn't take care of him anymore.
Image

The pair cuddling together~
Image

Floyd the leopard gecko. Floyd's the family pet who we thought was a boy..and turned out to be a girl. She was one of the first exotic critters we got and she really got us into reptiles.
Image

Cleopatra! The sweetest rosy boa ever. She's so gentle and calm. She's a little over 2ft long and enjoys coiling around my wrist while I read :)
Image

Over the years I've had a number of beardies come and go, coming from people who needed to get rid of theirs, were moving, couldn't care for them, etc. I've had great luck finding good forever homes for them, Steve is my baby and will stay with me though :)

Steve wrapped up in a towel after bathtime:

I also have a 55 gallon freshwater fish tank. This was it awhile ago, it's a bit different now but oh well.
Image

Fish come and go, but my parrot cichlid Larry has been with me for a few years, ever since I got into fish.
Image

I'm going to post all of the spiders in a second post since I have no idea what the image cutoff is :P

Shelob the Lasiodora parahybana. She's a little over 8 inches across, and has quite the attitude.

Cotton the Avicularia avicularia. Pretty sure Cotton is a boy, but that's okay. ^^ He's VERY tolerant and calm.
Image

October the Cyriocosmus elegans. She's a little dwarf spider! She sure can motor though, holy cow she's fast as lightning.
Image

NoName the Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. He/she will change dramatically once getting adult colours. As adults they display metallic blue legs, green carapaces and bright red bums.
Image

Shadra the Avicularia versicolor. She was an accidental buy..I couldn't pass her up at 29.99 though! Absolutely stunning colours on the versis.

Okay, I think that's everything :D enjoy the pictures! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, I love talking about my critters ^_^

Oh my god, you almost own a zoo! :) How awesome :)

Out of all of them, the ferrets would have to be my favourites. I've always had a soft spot for them. And that Rosy Boa is just gorgeous!

Hehe, thanks :D It sure is fun around here. Ferrets really are precious! So happy and excited all the time, but also cuddly to the extreme. I always say that the world would be a much better place if everyone was as happy as a ferret. :P

Ohhh my jealousy is overflowing! I do so want a ferret, and Rosy Boas are some of my absolute favorite snakes. So gorgeous. <3 I'm even envious of those beautiful tarantulas you have. My brother wouldn't tolerate that, though, with his spider phobia.

Hehe, my brother is a total spider-phobe too! I just keep the tarantulas out of his sight and he's usually okay :lol: he still hates knowing they're in the house, though.
