Another post got me reminiscing about all my kids pets over the years and all my experience with different animals. What different types of animals have you all had in your lifetime?

I'll Start

Cows, Goats, Chickens, Ducks, horses, Weasel, Raccoon (tamed of course), Dogs (Lhasa Apso, Collie, Keshond, and some Heinz 57 varieties), Cats, Red Tail Boa, Australian Sugar Glider, Australian Opossum, Speckled Gecko (he was purple), Green Gecko, Tarantula, Rabbits, Jackson Chameleon, Veiled Chameleon, Miller Chameleon, (male and female of each of the chameleons) Ferrets, Iguanas (many iguanas),  I know there are more I just can't think of them right now. Oh fish of course. and Chinchillas. I'll remember more as the day goes by. hee hee 6 hamsters,

edit: turtles a red ear slider and an exotic tortoise, he would have gotten huge and lived a long long time, but he ran away, darn those aquariums. And I had male and female dagoes (sp) they multiplied faster than rabbits. they are sort of like hamsters and chinchillas mixed

I went through a period of letting my kids have all sorts of different animals. And I grew up on a farm.

edit: hey ali, I forgot birds, my sister breeds parrots and Cockatoos, how could i forget those. Well I'm not really good with birds you've got to keep them really really warm.

 Is the stick insect a walking stick?  I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid.
