I have too many animals

redhorse said:
Well! Honestly--- My downsizing isn't working so well, especially after viewing all these wonderful animals. I have had bearded dragons, crested geckos, leopards and others. I want them again after following all these wonderful creatures.. So hard! I have 8 turtles-5 chameleons, 7 frogs, and 4 toads. This is the smallest amount and have way to much time. So have noticed I am adding the wild critters to my daily routine, which consists of 2 spiders, 4 wild fence lizards and 5 Anoles.. Problem!! I have noticed more lizards visiting for a free meal and even wait at the back screen door. Enjoy the peace but I am still trying to downsize by next year.. :unsure: (y) :)

So for all those that love animals and feel the need, it might be hard to stop. Just passing on a little info. Have a supercalifradulistic Thursday.

I feel ya! I have more than enough animals, but there’s still more on my wish list. However, I do know my limitations so turtles, axolotls, frogs, snakes and iguanas are out, along with all montaine chams. That leaves me with a crested gecko, female panther and a Maine Coon cat on my list. Someday....
 
Klyde O' Scope--- I can send ya some babies when they hatch.
But this guy stays here.(y) This guy actually comes RUNNING when I go out there. Yesterday I had the privilege of him jumping on my leg only to find out it wasn't feeding time. Bad me.(y)

I agree too.. But when there is nothing stopping one from HAVING limitations (that is the problem) it is much more difficult to make those decisions.
 
He’s definitely going to be big, he’s twice what Gandalf was in weight at 8 weeks. Gandalf was 9.8 pounds at 8 weeks and he is 150 pounds 2 years later..
 
He's a merlequin! Harlequin but the patches are merle coloring.

Here is Magnum, a harlequin we used to have (he passed a year or two back) for reference.

And Gandalf, our current Merle. (Along with Gunner. Lol.)

He had mental issues (came from a bad breeder) and it was the kindest thing to put him down shortly after we got Gandalf, as Magnum had an episode and basically tried to kill baby Gandalf. Aside from those little episodes (the one with Gandalf was the most violent one we'd ever seen with him, thats why we finally made the decision to let him go) he was a really sweet boy... We miss him and he cant be replaced but this new baby will complete the 'pack' again. ❤️
