What pets do you own?

First up we have Cami my 1.5 year female veiled, then Del Sol my 1 year male veiled (atop my boyfriend's head... he's a pet too, right? :p ). Then we have Bagheera my 4 month old male ambilobe, Bean my now 3 year old Musk turtle, then finally Herp and Derp, my 3 week old Red-Eared Sliders. Love my little zoo!

How big of enclosure do you have your RES's in? 10 gallons per inch of shell I hope. Even at 3 weeks old they are fantastic swimmers.
 
The pic you see of them is when we found them in the road. I have been rescuing and releasing them to the wild since I was about 15 lol. They are very well kept in a 10 gallon observation tank currently. I can watch how healthy they are for several weeks. They then go to a 29 gallon after I approve of their health. Once their shells reach a 2.5 inch diameter, they are released to a large pond far from roads! I re-captured one of my old turtles last weekend, we keep records of their shell markings :)

I feel like I am missing a pet. Good thing there is an 'edit' button :)

We have had various other types of pets in the past too, this is just right now.
 
As of last night i need to add a versicolor tarantula and a curly hair and a golden knee as well. But i need to subtract the blue eyed mountian horned dragon:(
 
1 male Jackson
3 green anoles
1 male jack Russell
1 female cairn terrier
2 monkeys (Grace & Noah) really just my kids.
 
I feel like I am here under false pretences, as a child I always had a house full of mammals (usually cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils and rats) and I always assumed I'd at least have a couple of cats when I got older, to the point that when I first left home to go to uni I used to get cat magazines every month.

Then I met my husband (who stole me from uni) and found out he had a severe lung disease and respiratory allergies and there was no way we could have a furred or feathered pet without severely compromising his health. It actually took me a good couple of years to come to terms with it, looking back I went through all the classical stages of grief! Then I got broody, so we had a couple of children as kitten-substitutes.

Then my wonderful husband made the mistake of buying me two (CB) Russian tortoises for my 30th birthday, to which I added a gecko, a dragon, then a couple more geckos, then we moved to the US, and I added a chameleon and soon a ball python...

So I adore my reptiles, but respect that by their nature they are not affectionate animals and have had no reason to evolve as such.
