Well I'd love pets, but I can't have a dog as it'll be alone all day, and we can't have a cat as we live in a flat and it has nowhere to go.

Still trying to talk my boyfriend into a pet rat, as I had one as a kid and they're so friendly and intelligent.

**HorseTechie** · 06-06-2002, 02:13 PM

Oh yeah.. rees are sooo cute. I may get another too, like after we get a house. We don't have a dog or a cat for the same reasons Loolaa. Just the turtle, since she's so low maintenance.

**azure turtle** · 06-06-2002, 05:18 PM

LOL! Y'mean you don't pamper little Padugi??

**HorseTechie** · 06-06-2002, 05:30 PM

She doesn't like much attention (heh.. kinda like you, Azure!)

Though, when we do get a house, i like to make a sort of outdoor pen for her to roam in. All last week she was literally bouncing off the glass walls of her cage cause the heat n humidty was making her hyper. Spring fever, I guess!

**azure turtle** · 06-06-2002, 05:34 PM

*snicker*
Yep, we turtles are pretty similar.

Spring fever? Hmm...poor Padugi. I'm sure she'll enjoy that outdoor pen.

Well, I'm stuck with 2 dogs and a bird. The old one, Jack, is my baby, but the bird, Sunny, you have no idea how much I want to strangle that pain sometimes.

Kingkapong · 06-06-2002, 07:37 PM

i got 2 turtles. had 3. named them after the ninja turtles. i wanted 4 but i wasn't allowed.

my turtles r now vicous cause i feed them a lot of live meals such as crayfish and fish.
i'm suppose to move them to a bigger aquarium but setting it up takes sooo much work. pets r boring to take care of but hey, its life and they r turtles.

*enigma-1* · 06-06-2002, 07:48 PM

Unless it has fur or feathers, they're not allowed around my house. My mom really freaks out at the sight of reptiles and bugs. Why, I have no clue.

**azure turtle** · 06-07-2002, 12:06 AM

My cousin has a corn snake...it's actually pretty mellow. I got to hold him once, and he just sat in my hands, flicking his tongue out every now and then. I don't normally like snakes, but this one is pretty cool.

Tinselcat · 06-07-2002, 05:43 AM

I like snakes. i once volunteered at this museum which has three boa constrictors. they were very well-behaved and good-natured and, believe it or not, they liked to cuddle with humans, to share the body heat! as for pets, i've got a paranoid-schitzophrenic cat and a neurally challenged hyperactive sheltie dog... yeah, life's hardly ever dull around here!

*enigma-1* · 06-07-2002, 06:08 AM

A friend of mine has a lot of pets. Snakes, gerbils, dogs, cats, an iguana, turtles, fish, one of which believes its Jaws, and a couple of crayfish.

Tinselcat · 06-07-2002, 08:26 AM

an iguana? coooool!

*enigma-1* · 06-07-2002, 09:02 AM

She had three, but they gave 1 away and the other died.

Loolaa · 06-07-2002, 09:19 AM

Oh.. I would love an iguana!!!!
I like snakes too, a friend of mine was pet-sitting a python and I got to hold her. She was gorgeous, and had such a cute face.
But when she coiled around my arm I thought she'd cut off my circulation!

**Kali** · 06-07-2002, 01:26 PM

We've had a couple pet snakes. A king snake, and then later a gopher snake. I love snakes, I think they're so cool, and make good pets, as long as they aren't too big or venomious.

**HorseTechie** · 06-07-2002, 02:05 PM

Heh.. yeah, snakes in lizards are neat too. Sometimes when we're bored, my freind and I will go to the big pet store and looka t all their exotic (and expensive!) reptiles and fishies. Maybe later in life I like to get an iguna too. I wonder if Padugi will get along with it?

Funny thing, back when I used to have gerbils, I had an aunt who was scared of them. Whenever we invited her over for dinner at our house, I had to hide the gerbil aquariums in my bedroom (we normally kept them in the living room since they get sooo noisy at night).

Loolaa · 06-07-2002, 02:09 PM

My grandad was the same with my mice... he was scared incase they escaped and he encountered one!
I don't know why he was so scared...!

**HorseTechie** · 06-07-2002, 02:12 PM

heee.. maybe he was afraid they would get into the food?

**azure turtle** · 06-07-2002, 03:57 PM

Ewww...I would hate to have mice in my food. Hmm...I have an aquarium, too. I like fish...they're so relaxing to watch.

**Kali** · 06-07-2002, 04:03 PM

Hey, if you have snakes, mice ARE food.
