A bowl o' Mongolian Gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)

George, the Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus)

One of many, many ferrets (Mustela putorius furo)

The late Argie, a female Argentine Tegu. She was such a gentle girl, passed away from Ovate Cancer (Salvator merianae)

Jet, a gorgeous Golden Tegu. He is very defensive but will tolerate you for eggs. Motherfucker loves his eggs (Tupinambis teguixin)

More Ferret action

A giant African Millipede. Very docile animals, but secrete iodine-based substance when spooked. Wash hands thoroughly (Archispirostreptus gigas)

A female (I think) Madagascar Hissing Cockroach. Completely harmless but try to scare you by hissing - they achieve this by forcing air out of small holes along their abdomen. Fun fact: you can make them 'fall asleep' by tightly cupping them in your hands (Gromphadorhina portentosa)

A low quality picture of a Bennett's Wallaby. They immediately run away as soon as you enter their paddock, but they're hilarious to watch (Macropus rufogriseus)

This is a handful of the animals we have at my college (UK) - I hope someone finds these interesting! Have a good day folks!
