According to LiveScience.com, with 71.1 million households having at least one pet, the most commonly owned ones are dogs and cats. That may not be the case at Becton though.

First off, Senior John Cobo’s house is filled with a variety of animals. He currently has two guinea pigs, two dogs, and two birds. The guinea pigs’ names are Elsa and Anna. “I had them for five months. When I found them at the pet store, my sister named them from the characters in the Frozen movie. “One of my guinea pigs is orangey-brown and the other is white,” said John. The two dogs are his favorite pets because he had them the longest. The dogs, Maggie and Daisy, are five years old. Finally, he mentioned that the two birds, Bico and Bella, are very chatty. “One of them likes to talk and is very sweet. The other one is mean and only likes my mom,” he exclaimed.

Moving on, Katherine Marcinkowski has two turtles, Sheldon and Shemy. She had Sheldon for eight years and Shemy for four years and noted that she bought them from the streets of Chinatown. “My turtles are really cute. They can recognize faces easily,” she stated. Katherine always spots her turtles tanning underneath a lamp.

Zarfshan Qadeer’s said his brother has two frogs that keep them company at home. “They don’t have a name yet. They also don’t look cute or nice at all, in fact they look kind of gross. One of the frogs is bright green and the other is dark with black spots,” he said.

Next, Sarah Dahl, is a huge reptile lover. She currently has a pastel ball python named String Bean. She purchased the snake from an exotic pet store in Lodi. She went on to add, “I used to have a turtle and a lizard that I had for 10 years prior.” Sarah also shared one of her favorite memories with String Bean. “He once climbed out of the recliner and sat on my glasses.” The senior student plans to add a monitor and a tegu, other types of lizards, to her family of reptiles.

Finally, Taylor Gruntfest owns two beta fish. “They constantly fight each other,” she said.
