I'm 22 years old and I live with my husband and our large animal family. I'm hoping this forum is for more than just ball pythons... I do not have a ball python and I am 95% sure that I never will. I currently have a male Western Hognose snake named Lithir. He was and is my first snake. I'm planning on getting a jungle carpet python soon.

Our animal family other than Lithir:

22 mice (I do not include mice that have not "earned" names.. I give names to mice who "earn" it by being tame, healthy, or have an outstanding body form and thus earn a spot as either a permanent pet or a breeder/pet. Either way, mice with names will never be culled.)

Females: Mithe, Myrre, Aylithe, Ffion, Vena, Meriel, Blackberry, Blueberry, Strawberry, Honeydew, Kristell, Triona, Aeira, Nemo, Shamala, Zaimu, and Elsa.

Males: Avicii, Kenichi, Reeses, Rolo and Hazel.

I absolutely adore my mice. Currently I don't have any good breeding mice, so I'm just breeding some pet store mice. My goal is to get better body form, health, males that will live with other males. I'm hopefully very soon going to get some show quality mice to breed.

5 cats. Akassa and Mallory are two cats that I adopted off of craigslist together. They are declawed (done by their previous owner) and are indoor only cats. Soren is my newest addition. We got him at the Repticon in November rather than getting a carpet python. He is a bobcat hybrid.
Kaden and Leyna are son and mother; they are outdoor only cats who are shared by my parents (who live down the hill from us).


2 Dogs. We have Mocha, who is a male 9 year old chihuahua who I have had since he was a puppy. We got Mocha for free because the people who owned his parents didn't know they had a female and a male dog.. I'm not really sure how that happened, but that's what they said. We also have Ruuqo, who is an 8 month old Alaskan Malamute.. We've had him since he was 6 weeks old.

5 Gerbils (I do not include any babies that I am not keeping). My gerbils are: Ivy (female.. mate to Paku), Paku (male.. Mate to Ivy), Amek (male, brother to Amarte and Aithek), Amarte (male), and Aithek (male). I am an American Gerbil Society registered breeder. I breed for health and color.

2 Rats. Raiko (neutered male.. Brother to Raimei) and Raimei (female).

4 Degus. Keeka and Kipcha (females). Khuno and Kuzco (males).

2 Syrian Hamsters. Akka (female) and Appa (male).




That is it for my animal family...
Other interesting things about me is I spend most of my time researching animals. I have adored all animals since I was born.
I love to read. I'm a huge fan of Warriors by Erin Hunter and The Wolf Chronicles by Dorothy Hearst. I'm also a fan of various other animal-related books.

I play Mabinogi, an MMORPG game that is based on Celtic Mythology and has an "anime style" character design. I met my husband on this game. I have been designing and running role play websites since I was 12 years old.
