Kerb for her me thinks! lol
AMEN! Don't let her twist everything against you! DAMN FEMALES!

Seriously you shouldn't have to give up your pets/hobby, if they have a phobia yes but otherwise no, I mean what if you break up in 6-12months, then you;ve sold your beardies for nothing.

Pfft if I had to give up my Tarantulas to move in with them I'd just politely tell them to GTFO! More room for exotics.

Well said Breadrun. My motto has always been "Love me, love my pets". Why did she ask you to move in if she wasnt prepared for you and your babies. She MUST of known about them. I know love can do wierd things to folk but surely you'll start to resent her for this and what happens if you split. Your left with no her and no babies. She sounds too selfish to me.

mine only has one rule: I can't have more then 5 pets at the same time, and they can't be spiders/snakes as they scare the crap out of her.

So I've got a beardie and 4 moorish gecko's

luckily I found myself a girlfriend (now fiance) that loves animals, the animals are my life, I love keeping them from the dog to the tarantula and all in between, they are my passion and I knew I had to find someone that would except them, because theres no way in hell im ever getting rid.

I fully believe that if you start out by keeping secrets from her, then it will always be bad. Also if you have to keep them out the way, what if she does find them and goes mad, find the problem out, if she is scared of them, or despises them, she may do something you would be upset about.

What about if she plans a long holiday, wouldn't she want to know who has been round and why?

I understand it's hard, but you have to talk to her about it. Keeping secret animals is no good for your relationship, your conscience or your animals.

DO YOUR READING BEFORE YOU START BREEDING!

GlasgowGecko: IF you breed two animals and the resulting offspring exhibit reduced fitness, you MUST purge the system (this does not mean termination, but they should NEVER be bred). This is the only way to get passed it.

Is it really so hard to do some reading, use some common sense and ask a few questions BEFORE you buy the animal?
