I understand most people don't want reptiles. I would like a nice terrarium with some kind of colourful little frogs, but I can't find those here at the moment. The tree frogs are a little too noisy and the others just burrow. I like aquariums because nothing can escape and they look like moving pictures.
I'm more of a cat person than a dog person and I will probably get one eventually when I settle down a little more. I'm guessing I'm still a couple of years away from doing that.
:) I have a cat too. She is a cute little girl and she loves to love on us. The dog I got for the kids and she is good with them, and my brother had a terrarium, so I do get the attraction, but, I don't want to have to handle them. Unless they are frogs. :) or turtles.
Settling down is a funny thing... one day, you wake up and find you are as settled as you can be. ;)
