Hello, all. This is my first post, quite obviously.
I'm a very animal-oriented person. I have somewhere around 35-45 pets. It changes a lot, due to the fact that I breed mice and African soft-furred rats for my snakes, and the mice and rats are often being euthenized and frozen/fed to my snakes. However, I do consider my mice and rats as pets. They have names, I handle them, they have large tanks and lots of toys.
I'm here today to talk about hermit crabs, however. I have 17 of them. I have a 50-gallon tank for them. They eat healthier than I do. Hermit crabs actually can't eat commercially available food, because they are very sensitive to preservatives. Anyways, mine get gourmet chicken, fish, fish eggs, shrimp, all sorts of vegetables, all sorts of fruit, exotic seaweeds, bee pollen... the list goes on. Like I said, they have a more varied diet than I do.
My life is centered on my animals. As you can imagine, the majority of my free time is spent on my pets. I plan on becoming an exotic (invertebrates, small mammals, reptiles) veterinarian. I'm sure you're like "Well, no kid actually becomes what he/she wants to," but honestly, I'm already focusing on biology and science in general in high school and have been researching colleges and scholarships. Animals are my life and have been since I got my first snake when I was 6.

Wow, that's truly very interesting. I've met many people whose passions are for music or writing or math, but I've never heard of a person whose passion is for animals until now.
