Thread: Tell me about your pet(s)

Looks like they're getting along better now than in the video.

Beautiful pics. Minky was looking at them too. She seemed interested in Cloud, but I'm sure she doesn't know that her and him look a lot alike.

Yes, Titus is getting much more tolerant of Red now that Red is starting to ignore him more and not be so rough. Cloud is slowly getting better as well, he seems to take his lead from Titus.

Thanks It's hard to get good pics of Cloud because he HATES having his picture taken. He always closes his eyes in anticipation of the flash, or turns his head and refuses to look at the camera. And if his eyes are open, they are so pale that they always glow red in pictures. I have to have good natural lighting and no flash to get decent pics of him, but making sure he sits still because without the flash, the pics will be blurry. He's always a challenge to catch on camera!

Well... here they are

Four tarantulas: three sorocabaes and one unidentified dwarf lasiodora


A child pandinus scorp


Lycosa erythrognatha, a wolf spider


Baby stick bug, philabosoma


Three corn snakes, a classic, ghost and snow


Also some roaches (nauphoeta and petasodes), ants (camponotus colony and two others unidentified queens starting colonies), a mantis (oxyopsis) and a lobster

The furries:
gatona, goido and wolv


laika


the rats:

oh my jesus Can I ban pics of spiders in the Pets thread?? lol *shudders*

Love the kitty and pup pics though! They are adorable. Thanks for posting them!

Burns!- I have been graced with beautiful Titus, Cloud, and Red.

They're all beautiful!

Red has to be the most innocent looking out of all of them. haha

I see the Harry Potter thing!

Techuser - You must be very brave.

I'd never be able to be in the same house as those pets.

Like Burns said, Cute kitties and pup.

Thanks, Xox They may look innocent but they are each trouble-makers in their own way!

Yeah the HP thing was a $2 bargain - cool ain't he?

Techuser, I really want to see your lobster ...

@Burns Titus is my favorite. He looks so inquisitive, in two ways: 1. I'm curious, 2. Is it food/love time?

I should post pictures of my fish, and update them as they grow. Tomorrow my bettas will be one week old... But my goodness, they are still so small! They can't even eat Bosmina water fleas yet! I'm trying to give a better representation of their size, but my camera battery is dead right now. For now, just think "1/5th of an inch." And half of that is transparent tail!

I'm sure i'm getting a bit redundant but I can't resist posting some of these I just took of Pickle

(They're from the webcam, sorry about the scary lighting...(and now that I look at it, the assymetrical picture frame))
My furry baby

She looks sad there...

Ah!! She's my shnookooms!

indescribable, what beautiful kitties.. and bro, Pickle is a sweetie face (I can tell there's mutual love there)!!

Hehe, right on the money Clairity..I never thought I'd get so attached with love to her.. but hey, it happened.

EDIT: Now that I look back Indescribable, the second picture of Rupert is priceless..I see lots of personality...or..kitty-ness (ality). :p

Unfortunately they suddenly had to go to the vet, and then they will be adopted, so I don't have any recent photographs of them.

Wow someone is going to adopt feral kittens? Sometimes we take kittens in for adoptions but never feral ones - kittens must be well-socialized before being taken in for adoption. Most feral cats that people trap are just spayed/neutered and re-released because they would never make good house pets.

Rupert is most definitely part California Spangled. When he was little he just had broken stripes, but as he got older most of the stripes developed into beautiful spots. I think he will someday do very well at non-pedigree cat shows.

They are very cute little guys! Great pics They look like regular domestic shorthairs to me - still adorable though! These types of cats can have the most unique markings and personalities and make great housecats. Good luck with the non-pedigree cat shows if you get into it! Thanks for posting these ADORABLE pics!!

haha, you definitely have Titus all figured out! He's all about the food and knowing everything that's going on in the house!

Wow so cool! I've never seen baby bettas before! Hope to see pics soon!

Hehe..Burns..you always have the right thing to say to make my day.

It seems to be more of a beautiful feline/ creepy spidery creature thread (sorry ) ...but Pickle holds her own

Oh and thanks

Oh yeah, to clear that up. They were about two months old as very scared little kittens, but even though they are very well socialized now, the kitten rescue still tells the adopters that they were feral, just in case that detail should be important. Most of the feral cats that are trapped are spayed or neutered and released, just like you mentioned. (Unless it is impossible for them to back to where they were before. If that happens then they go to a no-kill animal shelter.)

By the way, your cats are beautiful. Red looks great too! After I saw the pictures I couldn't stop thinking about dogs and I ended up dreaming about a giant (talking) dark gray rottweiler.
