: It sounds as though you relly have your hands full (not to mention a house-full).

: Do you take care of ALL the animals in the house? If so, where do you find the time? May I ask how old you are?

: Thumper

hi thumper,no its not realy that dificult as i sounds,yes i do take care of all my animals everyday their cages are very clean and they are all very healthy and not sick or under feed . my iguana is 3 years old and he is in a large cage 8ftx5ft high his cage is simple no substrate just clean white vinyl floor covering with a waterbowl and i use disposable paper plates for his food dish . he has to basking braches to bask and thats it he is trained to go to the bathroom in the bathtub thats how i keep his cage clean yes i do have th wipe the cage floor every day when he gets food over i keep my cages low maintenance easy to clean. my cornsnake is in a55gallon tank and hes 3feet his cage is vey simple too. the ballpythons in a 55 gallon tank above the cornsnake and hes only 12 inches long . they both are kept clean at all times keep set ups siple like use newspaper as a substrate easy and simple both snakes are in my room so when i get out of bed in the morning they are the first thing i take care of also the bathrooms right outside my bedroom door they are fed once a week at night . the iguanas hose is off to the kithchen co everything i need is right there i have all cage supplies and reptile supplies organized in plastic storage bins next to their enclousures. my lovebird is in my dads bedroom and the parakeet is next to the iguanas cage . i use newspaper as substrate for the bird cages as well its easier. and last my little chiuahua is small low maintenance we all take care of him also my dad helps only with the birds sometimes like give them water or food but i still double check him because hes around 75 years old and sometimes he forgets things. my age is 40 years old , when you have animals they are like kids you do what you have to do it shouldnt be a chore or a burden it should be fun to do because my animals are my kids. i allways had alot of pets even when i was very young i just love animals. the key to having several pets is keep everything simple and organized have a routine or schedule and just follow it everyday and try to keep the size of youre pets small. most of my animals are small not large remember a parakeet lovebird chiuahua iguana cornsnake and ball python the only medium animals will be the iguana and ball python which grows beteen 4and 5 feet thats it. see ya thanks mike sorry so long
