Hey, I like snakes...of the non poisonous variety.

And they make awesome pets too. Wouldn't mind having one myself.

Never really wanted to keep reptiles, I like them but I just don't know if I'd have much fun with them.

As far as slightly scary pets got, I'd not mind a flying fox, that would be ace.

I've yearned for a tarantula for years, but I somehow keep sharing houses with people who are afraid of them.

Aww Spiders, like Bats, are really our friends; they take out a bunch of insects that would otherwise make things quite quite nasty.

Mind you I also have a soft spot for leeches (fascinating wee buggers).

You'll be wanting some of this then:

Me too. But I don't fancy I can keep those as pets.

Need a name for my new fish!!

Okay I need a suggestion for a name for my new fish I just got. He's a Watchmen Goby. He's fearless, tiny and always ready for a fight. You can literally
see him huff at you when you get close to him. Later this week we'll be adding a pistol shrimp so they can be buddies (fish geeks will understand).

Sweet! He's cute! I love those little guys.

You have a saltwater tank? I am a reefer too. Though, right now I just have crabs because I had a tank crash a year or so ago and never have wanted to invested more money into it. I had seahorses forever. I keep thinking about getting some more, but I'll be spending a few weeks in central America in September and it was "pet sitting" that cause the reef crash in the first place, so I'll probably wait. Plus I may move soon (I have a lot of excuses) so it's not really worth it. My tank literally had thousands invested into it. I can wait.

Wait...I think I just inadvertently admitted I do drugs and have a STD. Hmm.

Our rental won't allow us to have a bigger tank... but as soon as we move (in a couple of years), we plan on doing some major upgrading. I blame my wife for getting me into this fish obsession thing. I also have a mated pair of clowns and a pajama cardinal. I'm fairly new to this saltwater adventure!

Sounds like you had a pretty nice set up. It's an expensive hobby!

He looks like a 'Herbert' to me.

This is almost exactly what my dog looks like, only she has a white snout, no spots and a docked tail.

We named her Emma after Emma Thompson, my favorite English actress.

A springer?

How cute! I love fishkeeping, started in December. It's a lot of work, but enjoyable.

BTW, I think he looks like a Fred.

Sideswipe · February 12, 2009, 11:43:44 AM

I can see him as a Fred
