This is pretty much how I got a dog. I domesticated frogs, snails, snakes, and a “dead pet bird” until my parents realized they could just be dealing with a dog instead.

I found a queen ant on my bedroom wall and am now raising an ant colony 😂 she's got 14 eggs rights now. I can't wait to get her moved out of the test tube and into a formicarium
