What pets have people got and what are their names?

[mully]

i have a tortoise called ticky who's about 50 year old he's quite big. when we actually had a bit of sun in the summer he dicided to go on a little trek. We found him 4 houses up the next day and were besides ourselves with worry the little 'tinker'. At the moment he's doing nothing but eat ready for hibernation.

I really like tortoises. I remember having one as a child called Ozzie. He was quite a character who liked being tickled under the chin. He spent quite a lot of time indoors with us.

Purple Pixie, What a lovely family of animals you have. The all sound adorable - A lady after my own heart. I am at my lowest number now for some years - only five. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of all my rescued birds because of a severe lung problem. My lottery dream - to have loads of money and run an animal rescue centre.

My pet goldfish were called

Ooey
Fred
Fred II
Fred III
Fred IV
Fred V

Ooey was murdered by next-door's cat when I was 7. I called him "Ooey" because it rhymes with "Orange" [sic] because he was a goldfish and therefore orange.

And why Fred?

LOWRIE333 What is your opinion on Bengals and their domesticatedness (if thats a word)?
People keep saying to stay away but I cant help think of them, especially the white ones with the grey stipes and blue eyes, oh and sometimes I get drawn to the dark side (tigers eye types that is)...Im looking at having a child in 2-3years so am worried about introduction as well.
