My little ones *Warning Pictures*

I finally got my camera working! Now I can show everyone my sweet little friends. Be warned, I have many pets!

Lets start off with the newest members of my crazy little animal family! The kittens were born last Thursday, and they are doing great!

Dutchez is back to her normal non-prego self and is being a wonderful mother!

I actually rescued both Dutchez and Baron Raven(pictured somewhere down below!) It was Halloween and some teens thought it would be fun to burn all of the cats they found. The monsters had burned the kitties hair and they were extremely afraid of humans. Me being a kid myself, it was hard to get them away from those idiots but there was no way I would leave them there. It took a couple of lectures and a threat to call the police before I could run out of there with those poor cats.

This is not a good picture of him, but Logan is my Irish wolfhound. He is extremely camera shy for some reason it is so hard to get pictures of him! He was still growing out of the puppy stage in this one.

This is buttons! My friend had to put peanut butter on their hand to get Buttons to stay still long enough to get a picture, haha. She is very hyper and cute.

This amazing creature is Baron Raven. :lol: He is the king of all my kitties and knows it! Such a bad boy around everyone else, but as soon as I'm the only one home or around he turns into my personal cuddle buddy.

He has his own chair by the table so he can sit next to me, he is snoozing in it now. NO I so do not spoil my pets...

Next are my two turtles. The larger is Schnider, I hatched him from an egg myself and he has been with me for many years. I found the other on a road, her name is little bit.

Next we have Jazz. He is such a sweet boy and I love him to pieces!

Drizzt! I know, I know, not the best name I'm sorry! It just fit him so very well. He is a huge water dragon and he thinks that the house is HIS house. No one touches anything without the master's permission, especially the mealworms and cantaloupe.

Climbing his indoor tree since it was raining and we could not go outside for our normal walk.

Cedric! He is such a darling! He sings and sings. Still getting his adult plumage, but he is getting huge! I can tell the he grows every day. I am proud of him for trusting me enough to raise him and for pulling through. He is very calm around me still, but we are having no luck getting him used to other people. He no longer has the little panic attacks, he just does his little glide/flap over to me when another person holds him.

Well that is all for now folks! I have many more pets, and I will post more pictures eventually, if anyone wants to see the rest that is.

Wow! That's an impressive RL stable you got going there - teehee!

It warms my heart to hear stories of animals finding loving homes with people who truly care for and protect them!

As for those other kids, well let's just say that karma has a funny way of sneakin' up on ya when you least suspect it.

People can be so horrible sometimes, it's disgusting. So glad you were able to save those kitties! You have really amazing pets, they all look so healthy and happy! :3

And of course we'd love to see more pictures! Well, I would, anyway.

Thanks for all the nice comments! I just wanted to add a little bit to this. There is an annual reptile expo happening next month and it is only an hour drive away from my house, so I will be going I am so excited!

I will be getting a male red tegu, something that I have spent a lot of time researching and getting ready for. Here are some examples of the species: [img=http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/3999/rtegu2.th.jpg]

Of course I will be getting a hatchling so that I can raise it and make sure that it is tame.

Some smaller geckos as well! Amazing colors, huh? [img=http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7595/3063976060c42432affe.th.jpg]


My friend and I will be getting a pair of sand boas. [img=http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/7103/kenyansandboa.th.jpg]


Lastly, I have always had my eyes on these guys and they will be at the show, so I am totally getting one! [img=http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/5404/nightpics016.th.jpg]




So there is my "Shopping list"! :lol: I am super excited about the show and can not wait! Now I just have to finish getting their new homes setup before the expo.

Once they all get settled in I will get some pictures up here!

That is a woma python, Aspidites Ramsayi, or the Ramsay's pythons. They are beautiful.

Beautiful family there Dew. I had my 2 cats, Elfaba and Fiero and then my fiance moved in with her 3 cats so now we're almost like the Brady Bunch of cats. Soon as we move I'll be getting a dog...i prefer mutts to purebreds for some reason but not ruling out a German Shepherd. I also really want a sugar glider...they are just so cool although, a few of your pets might like them in a different way.

Which expo are you near, Nelium? And are womas still really, really expensive? (It's been like a decade since I last priced them, I admit.)

I really envy you the red tegu. Those guys are adorable -- almost as good as a monitor! :D

Woma's are gorgeous and yes still a little bit pricey depending on who you go through.

I love reptile shopping lists. Hope you get everything!

I live near New Orleans and that is where the expo is being held.

The womas I was looking at the other day were around $40, but they were juveniles. I plan on getting a young one, but I always like to look around and decide based on the animal itself not their age/price as long as it stays within my range.

I am really nervous about the tegu. I have always wanted one, but I am so tempted by monitors and others. I have the room for any of them right now, the tegu is just what I have planned on. No doubt though that if one of those other big lizards catch my eye I will be taking them with me as well. :lol:

Mm, reptile shows...my boyfriend won't let me near them anymore. :lol:

Womas are beautiful snakes, I hope you get lots of pictures after you get one. ^_^ And the red tegu...gah, I wish I had the space to own a creature that size. :3
