[QUOTE="JettyDoor, post: 309157, member: 10510"] My family were always supportive of whatever creature I came home with. We had everything from tarantulas (pink toe and Brazilian Black) to a caiman (though that one was my sister's fault). We all pretty much do wildlife and exotic animal rehab as a hobby, and we're kind of the "Oh I found this random strange creature; I'll bring it to them" recipients. Wound up with leopard geckos because someone dumped them in a Happy Meal box in a parking lot and a coworker found them. My brother brought home a baby ball python he found swimming in the lake while he was fishing - in Northern Minnesota. When my partner and I first started dating, I warned him that there'd be critters. He simply asked that they be kept to a reasonable amount. When we moved in together, I reminded him that eventually he'd come home to a bathroom full of possums, raccoons, squirrels, bats, or something. His response was, "As long as you don't keep them all." His only insect request was no more spiders and no more scorpions, so for now I have the sticks and am looking into mantises as longer-term pets than the ones we hatch every year for the garden.
