OT: Pets

This is epic, he/she looks so happy
He's a little shit lol. He better be happy. Those balls with a bell inside costs $2.50 and he goes through like, 3 a week. Then he breaks the ball and the bell falls out and he stops playing with the toy completely.

Parrots are great though. Very affectionate, but also very mischievous too.

Got a pair of captive-bred electric blue day geckos (Lygodactylus williamsi.) Topping out at 3.5” long, they are endemic to a small forest in Tanzania and are critically endangered. Sexually dimorphic, the male is bright blue/turquoise (rare in the animal kingdom) with an orange belly, and the female is a duller green/copper.

The male will court the female by arching his back and puffing out his black throat while head-bobbing, with an occasional lick thrown in. But the female wears the pants in this relationship.

I’ve owned a pretty decent amount of reptiles and amphibians, but this species is by far my favorite. While you can’t handle them, they are bold and inquisitive, and watching the interactions between the male and female is always interesting. Also stunning to look at.

If my two cats aren’t interesting enough, allow me to present my (seemingly) immortal chinchilla. She turns 20 in April. I’ve had her since she was a few months old and she hasn’t slowed down one bit.

She's beautiful, never met anyone before with one. Very cool, how's her demeanor, do you play with her? Don't know much about them.
 
Guess it's my fault for NOT doing this a while ago. Good on you though. Last Sept. 22, my Havanese and Silverback Yorkshire Terrier decided to be horny. My 9 yr Yorkie put it to her 2 year old ass. 3 puppies later, kept them all and am losing my mind, but are quite the blessing and couldn't bring myself to selling even one of them for like 2G's each! What can I say, didn't want Mom to look at me with......"where's my 3rd?" I know I pumped out 3. Couldn't do it, also then which one if I did?
(L to R) Mom (Sandy, after Hurricane Sandy), Gemma (From Gem), Sapphy (Short for Sapphire), Dad (Parker) & P.J. (Parker Jr.) I call him "Peeej" sometimes.

When I was a kid we took in what we later found out was a pregnant stray cat. She had five kittens, three of which survived. We kept them all, giving us a total of six cats and three dogs. Vacuuming was a almost religious family activity. haha It's a lot of work, but it's just the best.
