I must confess, I have an addiction. Its true. I cant help myself. If I see it, it usually being reptilian, I have to pick it up. LOL! We live in the country, so there is plenty to choose from, and after 5 years I still have to...

Patrika952 You bring up a good point about being careful what you pick up. I have a lot of experience with reptiles, so I am comfortable doing so. My husband keeps asking why do I pick things up that want to bite me? Oh, theyll settle down in a second, is what I say...

I just wanted to share a little about my kitten Bruce. He is only about 7 months old, but already I can tell he is going to be one of those pets that only comes around once in a lifetime! Last year we found a stray cat in the...

Patrika952 She sounds like a really cool cat. I cant believe she was just left behind. I like that, she has to keep an eye on the two of you at all times, LOL, she has to keep you guys in line, huh? I think that having a kitten from such a young age really enhances the...

This has really been bugging me for quite a while now. I have had it with strangers saying "your daughter is an only child? How sad"! Excuse me? Who do these people think they are telling me we need more children? I have been...

Patrika952 I dont think all the toys in the world would make a difference, because toys have to be manipulated and I actually play back! My own mistake, but who can resist? This is Twigs, the runt, but even though she is small, she has huge personality!

Patrika952 Sorry about that! I had a kitten jump on the keyboard just as I hit post comment. I guess she just wanted to add her two cents!

Our Burmese Python, Bump, is a "rescue snake". Her previous owner was going to have her put down because of the injury she had. That was well over seven years ago and she has done wonderfully. Getting worried because Bump...

Patrika952 I would just like to add one more thing. The website I listed above is, in my opinion, a great site for beginners, not really there for the advanced hobbyist. And since a Burm is DEFINATELY not a beginners species, I would like to offer these other forum sites...

Patrika952 It seems to me that it is always the runt of the little that has the biggest personality. He has to make up for what he lacks in size, I think.

Patrika952 Have you been peeking in my windows? That sounds so familiar it is scary. Except that has happened to my computer room, they have make-shift toys every where. Little ramps and tubes and whatnot to play in. Gotta keep them happy!

Patrika952 I love the larger zoos for their greater collection of animals, the kids can ooh an awe. But the smaller zoos that we frequent allow us a more interactive experience which I think is wonderful for my daughter. She is not only learning about animals, but...

When you pull up a discussion category, and if you scroll down to the bottom there are a list of 'leaders' I think they are called. Then after the name there is a number, for example, level 12. What does that mean?

Patrika952 I know what you mean, I figured out on the very first day that earning anything from this (or any other) site was probably next to impossible. However, Im addicted! I think it is because, as my husband says, I have an opinion about everything!
