a caiman named marcus


a wooley monkey named joey


a reticulated python named sylvia


various and assorted emperor scorpions


hairless rats my daughter talked me into
(i swear!)

an inherited pygmy hedgehog


a mexican red legged tarantuala
named enchilada that my
husband gave me for mother's day


a ball python named deuce


madagascar hissing roaches
(i LOVE these guys-click to see
them full sized)


a savannah monitor lizard named satchmo


an ill tempered sugar glider named kiwi
but called buzz saw!


various tokay geckos
(and other geckos as well)


a veiled chameleon named clyde
who sadly, had a very short life

The sugar glider is so cute! My daughter has had several lizards and my boys and their friends caught a diamond back snake one time...very interesting creatures!! Happy TT

Emperor scorpions are cool. I used to know a guy that had them for pets.

Reynie said...

i'm gonna have to tell my husband about you. he thinks that every time i see an animal, i want one like it or would like to keep it. you may have me beat! wonderful group of furry friends... or, er, just friends (seeing how some dont have fur!)

Oh, Jayedee!! I love the hedgehog!! He is too cute...do you still have him??

And you do have a nice array of furry (and furless) critters...hehe

Blessings!!

Danielle said...

The snakes and the scorpion make me cringe...but the rest I would have myself!

I've had a tarantula, 3 ferrets, 2 bearded dragons, a few different hamsters, and then the normal dogs and cats.

I would love to have a monkey!

Hissing cockroaches are great! My junior high science teacher had some. I loved carrying them around, I'd gross out all the girls and even some of the guys.

Loved the picture 13!

I miss my hairless rat so much. Her name was Lady Freda Harris.

Entertaining list, I said Hi! to each and every one.

The a reticulated python named Sylvia has a really pretty pattern.

Thanks for visiting my TT

Nicholas said...

That is amazing! How interesting to own them. I just have to hope that my wife doesn't see your TT or it will be a case of "Can we....?"

pussreboots said...

Wow. That's an exotic list. Happy TT.

SwordMama said...

Those are some interesting animals! I've never seen a furless rat before. Happy TT!

FlipFlop Mom said...

That is amazing!!!!! the beetle bugs... bluck.. bluck... lollol.. you ROCK GIRL!!!

cajunvegan said...

I want a monkey and a hedgehog, but I'll pass on the hissing cockroaches. I know someone who breeds them, and it just creeps me out.

Thanks for visiting today.

It's Vay-gun not vee-gun btw.

Sleeping Mommy said...

Wow! You have had quite a menagerie!

Thanks for visiting my TT today!

What an interesting list!! I don't mind most of them, but I don't do rodents.

Susan Helene Gottfried said...

Jayedee, you are much braver than I am. I salute you for that.

Happy T13 a bit late... Oops. Sorry. I've been writing.
