Around my house, lol, and in my garden and shed (in the case of my Harris Hawk and velvet worms) a lot of my inverts are in a spare room, and in stacked large containers, most are small and dont take up that much space.

[erica]

what's a phasmid?

and just to keep up the list:

two fulicas

several wind-up toy snails, a gargoyle and one or two teddies (i had to pad my list out somehow... ;D)
e

ps. the flat sometimes gets invaded by slaters (if anyone knows what they are i'd be graetful for a PM) but they get evicted pretty quickly so i doubt they count...

[Kevin]

erica said:

phasmids are stick, leaf and fern insects.

[LisaLQ]

Wow, I'd love a snail room. Sadly, and I forgot to mention in my list, I also have a collection of children. Cant keep them in tanks, messier than margies, wish I could stick them up on the classifieds ;D

[Moracai]

Do husbands count??

[erica]

when i had one i always used to list my boyfriend as a pet in questionnaires - probably why i'm single again! ;D
