Since I was young I was always an animal lover, which I'm sure is probably common for Otherkin and Therians. What kind of animal companions do you live with? Do they hold any relevance to your Otherkinity?
I live with over 100 reptiles, 3 dogs, and chickens. My mate and I care for them all on our own. They are pretty much all our children and do hold significance to being Otherkin and my kintype in a way. Reptiles in particular have always been my favourite creatures on Earth. I attest this closely to do with my Draconity as dragonkin. There is semblance as a reptillian dragon that I can relate to them. Growing up, I related to lizards way more than to humans. My love for reptiles has stayed with me my whole life to where I now breed them as a hobby.
We have 5 argentine tegu lizards, 9 crested geckos, 4 leopard geckos, 2 gargoyle geckos, 1 chahoua gecko, 1 chameleon gecko, and 1 blue tongue skink. As for snakes, we have 80 ball pythons, 11 boa imperators, 14 corn snakes, 3 sumatran short tail pythons, 3 carpet pythons, 2 false water cobras, 2 blue beauty ratsnakes, 2 reticulated pythons, 1 california kingsnake, 1 cave dwelling ratsnake, 1 white lipped python, and 1 woma python. A single pacman frog and an african bullfrog. 1 spectacled caiman. 2 german shepherds, and a french bulldog. Also a bunch of chickens.(I'm pretty sure I didn't forget anybody.. but lets hope I'm right)
