The creepy crawly critters need love too, even if they don't know it. I like that I get pets that are very low maintenance. I like that I can be an artist of sorts when I breed. I think my reptiles and inverts are adorable. I like having animals that aren't "popular." And having rarer ones is even better; not as a status symbol, but because I'm lucky enough to be able to share life with an animal I may otherwise never see.

It doesn't hinder my life in any way. Take me as I am, or leave. Animals are the third most important thing to me (daughter and boyfriend coming in 1st and 2nd). Me and my pets are a package deal. Why would I WANT anyone around that didn't understand and appreciate that?
