I found this to kind of amazing that only one president in our history had reptiles in the White House...

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

1901-1909

His favorite horse was named Bleistein but it was not his only horse. He also had General and Judge (carriage horses) and Renown, Roswell, Rusty, Jocko, Grey, Root, Wyoming, Yangeka and countless others. Then there was Pete, the bull terrier, Sailor Boy, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Jack, the Terrier, Skip, a mongrel and, Manchu a spaniel.

Still not done there was Emily Spinach, the snake and a number of other snakes, Eli Yale, a Macaw, Josiah a badger, Tom Quartz and Slippers, both cats and at least five guinea pigs most of which were named after members of the Clergy!

Roosevelt also hosted a lion, a hyena, a wildcat, a coyote, a zebra, and owl, a raccoon and an assortment of lizards, rats and fowl.

Newt Gingrich has owned boas in the past, so who knows, maybe we will have the second snake owning president soon.

Thanks Travis for all your information you have been posting.

I "tried" to join USARK yesterday, but there is something wrong with PayPal only trying to charge $1 for membership. I have an email into them and will figure it out.

I also posted this link on Craigslist too. It is to try to overturn the ban:

We all went bananas over some dumb FOX news poll recently. Now is the time to step and do it when it really counts too!
Thanks everyone for doing something and not wait for "someone else" to do it instead!
