.I have a new one! Little tiny leopard gecko, un-named as I'm not certain of it's sex, pretty sure it's a boy though. Really unusual looking colour morph, not sure how common it is but he's pretty much entirely pink. Great looking little guy, considering breeding from him in the future.

Three Syrian hamsters
1 male (Dude) and 2 females (Pip and Mercedes)
Mercedes is named after Edinburgh Zoo's polar bear. I've only had Mercedes for 3 weeks now. I had to have another hamster (Trillian) put down after she suffered a severly prolapsed bowle.
Two Russian dwarves (By-Tor and Snowdog) My first two dwarves (Max and Paddy) were rescues. Paddy had to be put to sleep after severe complications caused through diabetes. Max died 4 weeks later in his sleep.
There are a whole range of other animals I would love to keep as pets but my living circumstances would have to change dramatically! They include chinchillas, guinea pigs, degu's and Alaskan malamutes

My list has changed quite a bit in the year or so since I posted this...
I still have the alpacas, albert, lolly and the silky bantams but the angel fish and gourami's have moved to my grandads house so I could get a Murray Cod and the love birds escaped when I went away and trusted my mum to feed them. Now Albert has their aviary and I sold his. New additions are:-
The Murray cod called trousers
A stick insect called Myf
2 fantail doves (We did have 4 of them and they were free range but a hawk picked off two so now they live in the chook shed and we let them out under supervision.)
And right now some frog spawn that I scooped out of our failed fish pond.

one of my teachers had an exchange student from America in her house and was expecting people jumping on crocs, riding roos etc.
with all due respect to steve irwin and paul hogan (aka croc dundee) i think they encouraged this stereotypical behaviour.

That would be something wouldn't it!
i don't see why water buffalo and camels are not easy to come by considering there are wild populations living in australia.
It's more of a case of my parents not letting me so I'll just have to wait.

Oh wow!! Just read through this whole thread and I'm gobsmacked at some of the amazing interesting pets you all have. I now feel very boring 
In our house we have a 3yr old cocker spaniel, a cat and some goldfish. I also have 6 rats that are mine and no one else's In the past we've had the usual childhood pets, hamsters, mice, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pig. My brother kept a leopard gecko and a leaf insect when he was younger. I don't live with my dad, but he likes keeping birds and he once had a tarantula 
Very beautiful, but I still liked to keep my distance
In the future I'd love to keep some more exotic mammals, such as gambian pouched rats, chinchillas, sugar gliders etc. - only if I'd researched them well and it sat right with my ethics, not to mention having my own place to keep them in. Maybe one day!
