My sweet heart of a cat named punkin. We just call him punk.

Lucy loves the kitties. When she does this to the cats we call it gribbiling. The cats get gribbled on daily. :D

Pretty cool pets.--Tom

Thanks! When it is bigger, I will take some more pics!

The only problem is that it ate all the other triops! :(

After I looked at yours, I went to some triops sites, I read about them eating each other. Then my family (who already allow my rocks in the house), saw them, didnt want me to get them, found them rather repulsive even, so I'll give them a break.:)

I love growing triops! Mine don't ever live very long though. I think the longest I've ever had one survive was about 2 months.

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

That is about the average time though.

Oooookay. Too much fur. It looks like it's up to me to help represent our scaly fellows. Since I no longer have quite the collection I used to, these will mostly be animals I owned in the past.

Uroplatus fimbriatus, male

P1010146.jpg

Uroplatus peitschmanni, male

P1010225-1.jpg

Morelia viridis 'Cyclops Mountain', female (I still have her, and her male)

P1010235-1.jpg

Elaphe porphyracea vallanti, juvenile

P1010233-1.jpg

Geckonia chazaliae

P1010253.jpg

The fish tank, before I took it down. Housed a pair of Apistogramma macmasteri, 10 Paracheirodon simulans (green neon tetra), 6 Corydoras habrosus, and 3 Otocinclus 'zebra'.

Thanks for the compliments. As for the camera, I honestly have no idea. The camera I used to take those has been in storage for about a year. One of these days I'll find it. Unfortunately, I couldn't control anything with the shutter speed, etc. hence the blurry fish pictures (they don't pose, apparently).

what a refreshing break Darwin, nice!Maybe we'll get to see another tray or two of mantis/phasmids if we're lucky :)

Sorry,... No scales, skin or exoskeletons here!

Well, ...after being dog free for a little over a year (We had to put down our 15 yr old Jack Russel Terrier - old age) and swearing up and down,"NO MORE DOGS!",... :rolleyes:

... 5 yr old Mocha, the Miniature Pinscher has become a part of our family, just this weekend. Oh well... :wub:

He was adopted at a rescue adoption event at a local Petsmart store. Have no idea what he'll be like after the honeymoon period,... but so far, ... he appears to be a couch potato.

He was rescued from a puppy mill where he was a breeder, and had stopped producing for them. He has been de-barked, (vocal chords cut) which,... to me is beyond cruel.

He seems to be perking up, so, I take that as a good sign. :D

He is a total affection hound so far, and I hope he remains that way. Have to house train, leash train and play train him from scratch. Will be a work in progress for a bit, but he has our hearts already. :)

Regards!

Good for you getting a rescue dog, he will be a loyal friend.--Tom

Oh, where to begin...

Mammal wise, I have a psychotic dog who will literally gobble down 3 pans of brownies, a box of oranges, and some coffee without breaking a sweat.

I agree with DarwinAhoy, too much fuzz! Let us view the scales n' tails of the madhouse!

Next we have Spock. (No, no THAT one.) There should be an attached file of him on the post, let's see how it works out. He's a bearded dragon. The photo is from 2008. He's not a cutesy anymore.

Reptile-wise I used to have two green anoles. That simple idea turned into a breeding project. Sadly none remain today.

Amphibians, I have an African Clawed Frog. Used to have more, but he's the only one left.

I'll tell you about "Frankenfrog" if you ask...

What a wonderful menagerie! Who would believe that such as register lay buried in the strata? To open the leaves, to unroll the papyrus, has been an intensely interesting though difficult work, having all the excitement and marvelous development of a romance. And yet the volume is only partly read. Many a new page I fancy will yet be opened. -- Edward Hitchcock, 1858

Here's a photo of our cat, Sodapop, practicing advanced bird hunting techniques:
