Hello!

[artes]

Hi! I am a new member to these forums. My name is Artes, and I have a small zoo running in my house. I love animals of all kinds, and I enjoy caring for them and raising them. As a result, I have an interesting grouping. I have (grouped by loose categories):
5 cats (all friendly to the other animals, although Finn seems to have a vendetta against lizards), 1 dog.
4 guinea pigs, 3 rats, 1 gerbil (his brothers were sold separately from him, and he has been unable to get along with other gerbils, so I took him in so he could have a human playmate).
5 firebelly toads, 2 white's tree frogs, 3 green tree frogs, 1 gray tree frog, 1 pacman frog.
1 blue tailed skink rescue (my Mom's cats don't like lizards either), 1 bearded dragon, 1 leopard gecko.
1 african house snake.
2 tarantulas (honduran curly hair and brazillian black)
and several fish tanks.

Its a full house, and my days are full of cage cleaning and water changes and spray bottles and individual attention schedules, but I wouldn't give it up for the world. I look forward to reading these forums to learn more about my babies, and become a part of the community. :main_thumbsup:

Hello Artes and welcome to GF and i hope you enjoy the forum.

Well i must agree you definitely have your hands well full and if you could had some pic's if possible that would be nice but you can miss out the Tarantula (god i'm frightened to bits of spiders) lol

I'll be loading up pics later today! My spider pictures never come out great anyway, so we can skip those.

I'm sorry I didn't get to get them up yesterday, but I'm working on uploading now. Here are some Clare photos to start off:

If you think the girl looks thin now, you should have seen her when I got her. -_- Luckily, she's plumping up quite well.

And finally for this round of photos, my snake. He is tentatively named Mugsy, but that might be changing.

Fantastic colllection mate and your reptiles are in such lovely condition and nice colours, they're all a credit to you.
