Show us your pets! who has the cutest/ugliest/scariest best buddy?

I was going to get this thread started as the old cats v dogs arguement, but they're both so lovely I dont want to hear rants against either.

So if you don't feel comfy with posting your photo on the members photo thread, post your best buddy photos/vids here instead and maybe a bit on how you met them or what crazy stuff they do

Wierd or whacky looking pets even better!

I have 2 dogs and a cat. They came into the family as rescue animals...
When I finally work out how to post a video, ill post my cat attacking (and winning easily) my 2 dogs.

In the mean time look foward to seeing your pics

Both of those little rascals were rescued from the Animal shelter/pound. I saw their pictures in the paper and got them. I drove over 200 miles for the brown one. His name is lil feller.

Thank you, and yes I am blessed to receive such unconditional love from such wonderful friends. Much more than just house pets.

Whaaa....I *love* your dogs hun...how gorgeous are they! They really seem to enjoy the singing too. Love it!

I might win the "scariest pet" prize....I will post a pic of my boa constrictor tomorrow when i've worked out how. He's a little sleepy tonight, and I don't want to disturb him anyway. He's gorgeous though...very easy going. I'm glad about that.

I would love to see that...
how do you keep a boa constrictor? what do you feed it? how often? Do they know you and show you affection? is it in super strong glass? wow, love to hear more

I still haven't got to take a pic...had a mad day, but will try to post it tonight.

Spike is a red tailed boa, and about 6 feet long. Thankfully he is a male, as the females grow considerably larger. He feeds on prekilled mice, about once a week, although he's a picky eater, and has been through a hibernation spell of about 3 months when he didn't eat at all, and I was worried. He's fine though. I'm assured it's normal!

As for personality, he's very laid back. Loves being handled and climbing round my neck and in my hair. I wouldn't say he shows affection really, but he's very relaxed with me, and doesn't mind other people either. I also have two corn snakes, who are a different experience all together. Much livelier, and the male is grumpier, although I would say that my female corn snake does approach something like affection. She's very keen to be handled, and likes company.

They stay in vivariums...the corns in one and the boa in another, with heat, reflector lamps, large water dishes that they can get right into if they want, bark or aspen flooring...like straw really...and logs and branches to climb on. I keep then really clean and move the vivs round inside to give them different environments every week or so. sliding glass doors at the front, just ordinary glass, although I did consider locks once, on the day i forgot to shut the corns viv door properly, and didn't discover it for about 8 hours, by which time they had escaped. We turned the house inside out...we were in a terrible state...and finally found them after half an hour in the drawer under the vivs. In 8 hours, they had travelled all of 3 feet. That was the one and only occasion in my life that I needed Valium to get to sleep. I'm obsessive about the doors now....*grin!*

My snakes died last year from carbon monoxide poisoning.Some bricklayers were idiots and killed them by accident.
I had a ball python and a cornsnake.
The python was a bit fussy as well and he went 8 months without eating...every couple of years he did that.
My corn was a female and she was quite the little personality.
When I would come home she almost always came out like she was wanting to be picked up...it was kinda cute and she was very very nice.
She was handled by alot of people and never bit.
She bit once and the funny thing was it was a girl who was cozying up to me a bit too close.
My experience with female corns was that it almost seems like they like the interaction with you.
I also had her trained to crap on a towel before I handled her.

Leo, as a pup

Leo all grown up.

Yesterday, Leo might have been in a house a bit too long.
But he didn't go on the carpet. He pulled a bowl of the kitchen counter, onto the floor, and PEED in that!..Genius?

Good dog.

Now, if only you could write a manual on how to train all dogs to do that.....you'd be a gazillionaire.

Very pretty dog.

Excuse me big guy, I'm trying to eat.

I wish I knew how he figured that out.
There had been oatmeal cookies in the bowl, but they were gone already.
If I only understood his logic!

New here, but here are a few of my pets.








Hope you enjoy.

I used to breed sugar gliders. They are really cool animals. After 3 years, I couldn't take the noise at night anymore, and sold them all. Needless to say, they made me a pretty penny over those years, but they were virtually sleepless years. LOL

reply to post by cian300


what kind are the 2nd and 3rd snakes?
the color patterns are "striking".

HI SF
Are you an Aussie, or can you get this asutralian native overseas as a pet?
I thought they were OZ protected species...maybe they are more common than i thought.

We're in the US. They're illegal to see here in Georgia, but just about anywhere else, they're legal to sell them. It's legal to OWN them here, as long as you don't buy them here.
