I'm curious as to what pets others in this group own?  My personal zoo consists of:

- 6  mantis nymphs: - Budwing (Parasphendale Agrionia)                                 
                                    - Giant Malaysian Shield (Rhombohedra Basalis)
                                    - Blue Flash (Sphodromantis Sp. "Blue Flash")                                   
                                    - Giant African (Sphodromantis Lioneola)  
                                    - Jeweled Flower (Creobroter Gemmatus)
                                    - Giant Rainforest (Hierodula Majuscula)
-  25 rats (6 of which are dwarves)
- 1 Leucistic Axolotl
- 2 Dogs
- 3 Cats
- 1 Leopard Gecko
- More Fish than I care to count, including 6 bettas, and a huge Blood Parrot Cichlid

What about you?!
