a newcomer's pics

[CritterLover]

Well, as I posted in a different post that ended up in a different place (I'm still working on the layout here ) I am new to this forum and I thought I would share some pics of my "zoo" (as my friends have affectionately nicknamed my collection).

Fuego. He is my first snake - a male Okeetee corn snake. I got him last December. He is now about 10 months old, just over 2 feet long, about as big around as my thumb, and a VERY neat little guy!




Puzzle. He is the guy who brought me here...my little baby bp. I got him a few weeks ago and he is 2 months old. I am absolutely intrigued with him!! So far he has eaten enthusiastically for me 3 times and shed once. He is a perfect little gentleman.








Gwen (black) and India (white). Gwen is my 17 year old Aussie/German shorthair mix. I've her all 17 years!! I don't think she will be around too much longer and that makes me sad. But I know that I have given hera L-O-N-G and well loved life, so I'll take comfort in that. India is a 4 year old jack Russell/blue heeler mix. On the rare occassion that she stops moving for a few minutes, she is wonderfully cuddlely!



Achilles. He is my rescue kitty. I found him as a stray when he was 5-6 weeks old, severely emaciated, and covered in mange. I'll admit that cats aren't my pet of choice, but I'm a sucker for pathetic little critters (my weak spot...my Achiles heel...hence his name LOL). Now he is a 1 year old respectable looking cat who provides a great playmate for India



Well, there ya go! My little family (or zoo as some call it). I've always loved critters, so I am happy to have an apartment full of them!

(BTW...can anyone tell me how to get normal sized pics? These are just the little ones, but if I try to post the real ones they come out HUGE...too big to view comfortably)
