Who in your house claims the warm spot first when the heat kicks on? 🔥

Our vote goes to this uromastyx. Spiny-tailed desert lizards like this one live for a hot basking spot. They often wear darker colors while they warm up, then brighten as they heat through.

Dog on the floor vent, cat on the radiator, kid parked by the fireplace, everybody counts. Drop your heat hog in the comments, bonus points for a photo 📸

If your partner said "no more reptiles", what would you do? 😲

What's the best party trick in your house? 😉

Ours is the cory catfish wink. Cories can swivel their eyes down in their sockets, and from the front of the tank it looks exactly like a wink.

Dogs that sneeze on cue, cats that open doors, a crested gecko licking its own eyeball. Every house has a show off. 🐾

Tell us your animal's best trick in the comments, bonus points for a photo! 📸

Why bring a boyfriend who pouts in the car when your best friend would’ve bought matching animals with you? For real though, if your man acts like this, we can do better. Come find your people at the next CRABS!

Who in your house has the wildest bed head? 😴

Ours is this white crowntail betta. Crowntails are named for fin rays that grow out past the webbing, so every fin ends in spikes like a little crown, no brush required.

Fluffy dogs after a nap, cats with a cowlick, the kid on a Monday morning, everybody counts. Drop your best bed head photo below 👇
