Animal Hoarding?

[Motherlode Chameleon]

Kind of a shame for now. I have got a greenhouse and only 3 chameleons due to going to UC Davis.

2 panthers
1 parsons.

I have got about 40 fish in my 360 gallon aquarium.

And if insects counted I would be absolutely considered a hoarder with at least a thousand roaches as well as a colonies couple other insect species.

 

[Elizadolots]

I know what my problem is...

I have 0 Chameleons

That is certainly a problem...you need to rectify that!

 

[drink soy sauce]

0.0.1 Eurydactylodes agricolae
1.0.0 Betta splendens
0.1.0 Canis lupus familiaris
0.1.0 Felis catus

No chams...i think i'm on the wrong forum.

I had no idea what I was starting with this thread!
Couldn't ask for anything better than to be a part of a group of mental defects like you guys!

 

[Lancecham]

Yes very true. But At least all of us "mental defects" hang out in one common place. If it wasn't for the Forums, Who else would understand us.

5 cats(1 is my personal)others belong to other people in house
1 dog (not mine but i take care of her more then the owner does
2 lovebirds(male/female)peached faced which are mine



In total of previous pets i had

2 cats
2 birds
30 mice
3 neon fish
2 eels
1 algae eater

 

[Chester222]

I aspire to be as mentally defective as you, Chuck. I only have:
1 ambilobe
1 ball python
1 arizona mountain kingsnake
30 african cichlids in my 72 gallon aquarium.

Is taking care of those a full time job? What happens if you leave town and need a pet sitter?

Wow

When I found this thread, I was just feeling guilty because I just aquired two chameleons in 30 days and I am considering a carpet cham, bearded, and my husband is getting a rainbow boa.

Currently,

2 chameleons
1 pit mix

I'd just like to thank all of you!!
All I had to do was show this thread to my girlfriend and she now thinks "the few" we have "isn't that bad".

Maybe I can convince her I'm Prince Charming by letting her watch 10 minutes of Jerry Springer!!

 

[ijmccollum]

I'd just like to thank all of you!!

I would like to echo this sentiment. I feel so much better about myself now.
