Let's see... Two boas (Creampuff and Zara), a Newfoundland buddha-dog (Samson), a mean old feral kitty (aka Alley the love sponge), a florida softshell turtle (Onyx), and a triad of water dragons, as yet unnamed. I think that's everything. Nothing compared to the 20 or 30 critters I used to maintain.... (I think I peaked somewhere in the 70's, population-wise)
I'm into living things in general, so I have a sizable botanical collection.... I started keeping orchids a couple years ago, and now have about 40 of various sorts. I grow tons of different houseplants, from many species of philodendrons to banana plants to cacti and succulents.... My objective is to create my own little pocket of biomass.... A bubble of life-energy to retreat into and escape the cold dark rainy days of winter....
