I decided to go pick up some spooders today to go along with the one I got the other day for free. I used to have 13 I think, a few scorpions, a couple frogs, some salamanders, and a matis. I now have 7 tarantulas to go with my 12 snakes, 2 cats, and 1 dog lol

2 of them are fairly venomous, with one of them having a really really nasty bite. But he's an old man and retired, living out his golden years. He'll probably pass in the next several months or so....but I'm not letting him give me a kiss lol

Here's a few pics of what I got today.

I don't have any anymore but back in the day when I was a kid in South Africa I caught, kept and bred everything I could.

Mainly fish, frogs, toads, snakes, lizards and chameleons. Had the odd bird and used to breed Boxers as well.

I stuck with the fish thing 'cause I was always most-passionate about aquaristics. 53 years now...
 
Had tarantulas when I was young.

Raised ball pythons and bearded dragons too.

Now, I just love my dog and cats.
 
I live on a river out in the middle of nowhere. I have bald eagles, Herons, Hawks, Raccoons, Squirrels, Hummingbirds, Orioles, Chickadees, Nuthatch, Turtles, Frogs, Deer, River Otters, Groundhogs, Beaver, Bald Faced Buzzards, Cats, Spiders and a whole lot of other shit I'm forgetting. And yes I consider them my pets. Because I feed most of them.
 
I almost forgot. I have 4 types of Woodpeckers.

Including these guys who look like psycho clowns.

This dude gets on the back side of this tree and looks around to see if I'm watching before he starts mauling the suet feeder.

That is seriously so cool! I only have an old pecker and he only comes out to shock the Missus occasionally.
