My mother is one class act. She has always let me get whatever creature I wanted "as long as they are kept clean and you can pay to feed them." When I was 12-15 years old I cleaned cages and fed animals at a local pet store for free mice, rats, crickets, and bedding. I kept everthing from conures, caimans (sp), beardies, iguanas, snakes, and so on. My room was a mini zoo. Well not anymore, I have learned to control my urges at the local reptile show. My collection now consists of 6 boas, 2 cresties, 1 dart frog, and a bearded dragon.

I just moved into a new apt. that would not let me keep "exotics." And since my mother likes to keep her room warm, they have all found a new home.

THIS IS WHAT MY MOTHER SLEEPS NEXT TO! The pic is from my old place.
