I’ve got a German Shepherd, Zeus from 7wks old he’s now 5+ :-)

it was a GP suggestion. I got one,. Amazing  

he’s fully trained to respond to sign signals.. he still has his dangly bits and very obedient for me :-) 

Him waiting for me to finish the toilet business.

    Hello.

    I am a pet slave to:

    Winnie (7) - Black, Bombay Cat, Rescue - She loves to play and snuggle with me. She is definitely one of my best friends.

    Leo (6) - Leopard Gecko - Stubborn as hell and only comes out for food. Looks like a Disney cartoon character though so I forgive him for that lol.

    Inca (8) and Aztec (6) - Corn Snakes - Inca is grey/black/white and is nearly 5ft long. Calm, placid, except when it comes to food. Aztec is red/black/white and is about 3.5ft long. Feisty, fearless and sometimes frights the heck out of me (enter his vivarium on your peril).

    Truffle (8) and Chaos II (6) - Tarantulas - Truffle is my biggest. She is a Chilean Gold Burst. Fairly calm most of the time, until you give her a locust, then it's definitely Truffle 1 - Locust 0! Chaos II is a tiny Chaco Golden Knee (about the size of a 10p coin). S/He is happy just walking round his/her box. Occasionally feeds on mealworms, but doesn't touch locusts or crickets.

    Oak and Birch (both1) - Giant African Land Snails - Both calm, sedate and slimy lol. Love their food, especially banana and sweet potato.

    I am hoping to get another Russian Dwarf hamster soon as well.

    Good grief - snakes and Tarantulas?  Naah.  Seen Tarantulas in the wild (along with Rattlers and Scorpions) and they scared the bejezus out of me. It's one of the reasons you have a door screen in Arizona - and don't leave it open on hot evenings or you may well get household guests that you don't want, possibly in large numbers(!)

    Hi PersonAnon,

    I can understand people who are scared of snakes and spiders.

    My aunt, brother and ex-fiancé are all nervous of my spiders more than they are of my snakes, but I very rarely handle them in front of people, in fact, I only ever take my tarantulas out if I am transferring them into a bigger tank or changing their soil (which I do every 6 months or so).

    I did have 10 tarantulas at one point, but over the years, my collection has shrunk to just the two now.

    I have helped children over the years get over their fears of snakes in the past though, but I only ever used Inca for that as Aztec is too much of a hot head to handle much.
