Hi!
I thought I'd share my modest collection of critters with you.
I have two snakes, Anthony, a two year old ball python and Badger, also two and a cornsnake, though he's a runt. I got him on sale because he'd been a poor feeder, and was about half the size he should have been. His colors are really lovely though, and I'm not shooting for any size records with either of them.
I also have three cats. We got Kali the evil calico from a shelter because we wanted a cat, Tari the crazy pointed longhair because a friend of a friend found her abandoned and was trying to find a home for her, and Ron the Maine Coon-alike (not pedigreed, but he's spot on for the breed) turned up on our doorstep, sick and in need of some care, so we couldn't just leave him. We're at full cat capacity now though, we couldn't possibly get another.
I do want to get some more critters though. In addition to a planned mantid, I'm looking at getting two or three more snakes eventually, and possibly an eventual chameleon, gecko, or other non-snake reptile.
I also love carnivorous plants. Sadly my venus flytrap didn't respond well to a move and then a week without proper lighting as his bulb broke and I was too busy with moving to remember to get a new one. But I have a pitcher plant that's supposed to arrive in the mail later today. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it comes safely. (It's a sarracenia purpurea, if anybody cares. )
Oh, and I also keep one fiance. He requires a lot more care than the snakes do, but I think he's probably worth the effort. And he's not as destructive as the cats. Little devils.
