Hello, Alisa and welcome to the forum!

Whoa, what a lot of animals you keep! I would not speak too much about the tarantulas, though, if I were you, some of us are really frightened of them.

I hope you will like it here, and will show us your work.

Welcome Ally. You've found a wonderful place. :sun: They're a lovely bunch here. Sounds like you've got alot of critters. How terrific to have the room for such a variety. I'd like all of them except the reptiles and spiders. Sorry, I have a bit of a thing about them. I love and have dogs, used to have a horse and I had a bunny when I was young, I've never had a ferret but would probably enjoy them. I'm mostly a mammal loving person.
I hope you feel right at home here. We'd love to see the projects you're working on. Just jump on in.

Welcome Ally. Although they wouldn't be my choice, I would imagine that studying tarantulas and snakes is quite fascinating.

Hope you enjoy the forum and join in with everything - there's a lot going on. :D

Hi Ally, welcome to the forum! You've got a very interesting collection of pets there, I never got past the usual rodents and, since my marriage, a cat -- we do get spiders and frogs but they're usually brought in by the cat and quickly evicted :-)
Hope you'll enjoy your visits here!

Hi Ally,

Welcome to the forum from TX. You'll like it here.
Lots of animals. Love the horse but I'm afraid of the snakes too much even a picture I can't look at them.

Warm wishes,
Nylarim

And a belated welcome from Scotland, where tarantulas do not exist, and the only snake you are (un)likely to see sunning itself is an adder. I'm amazed you have any time at all to stitch, after seeing to the care of such a crowd! Well done!
