When I was growing up, we had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, chickens - a whole menagerie.
My family had a habit of collecting creatures that didn't always want to be pets. The first animal I can remember was a Lab named Zoe.
I have taxidermy pets that are very close to me. I have a little lizard with a head that comes on and off that I call Nicolas Cage because his face is long. And I have a big diamondback rattlesnake called Rufus, and I have some rats in jars and stuff.
I grew up with a menagerie of dogs, cats, gerbils - not to mention three younger siblings.
I have a lot of mice, I have a kitten named 'Girr,' I have an iguana named 'Invader Zim,' I have some fish, a whole buncha water snails, and a tarantula named 'Sweet Pea.'
I have a pet lizard named Puff, five goldfish - named Pinky, Brain, Jowels, Pearl and Sandy, an oscar fish named Chef, two pacus, an albino African frog named Whitey, a bonsai tree, four Venus flytraps, a fruit fly farm and sea monkeys.
I've got nine dogs, eight birds, turtles, fish and I had wallabies at one point.
I have cats, dogs, monkeys and ducks at home - it's like a mini zoo.
