I have many pets:
I have two hermit crabs (Mikey and Shawn) and they're alive for about 4 months without dying.
I had a 'pet' moth named Squeaky. I was at camp going to get a shower and I caught Squeaky and he wouldn't fly away. He flew away and then flew back to me and he landed on my shoulder. My friend star saw it, screamed, "EW!" and smashed it on my shoulder, making the wings fly off the thing and it was left on my shoulder, now covered with Squeaky-guts. Then I got Squeaky II a few days later, I let him go. My friend had a pink ant as a pet. It got covered in paint from a project and she kept t in a cup. (until id crawled away)
