man, i've had it all too... and don't talk down to goldfish... i love goldfish... i had some very nice ones in the past... i grew them out and then sold them for big bucks... i also had koi fish in a pond... but goldfish are my favorite fish... i really love crowned pearlscales... i still have reptiles right now... about 5 high end leopard geckos, one patternless albino california kingsnake, and in amphibians, i only have one red, pink, orange, green, yellow fantasy frog... she's so pretty... i love going to reptile shows... you see all kinds of people there... from the quiet regular church folk, to the pierced faced tattoo'd metal head banger folk... LOL... i'm just really not a huge fan on birds... i love pigeons because i can take them out every once in a while to take flight... i love my chickens because i let them free range every once in a while... but tiny birds... right now i have a pair of society finches because they're cute, but i feel bad for them... but then again, they are happy, fed and are gonna nest soon... so i guess it isn't that bad...
and yes, iguanas are the worst pet you can get... especially male iguanas... viscous monsters... but my last monitor was a black throat, and she was super mean... i would still take her out, but she would make me bleed with her nails... and she would try to bite me all the time... but i still grabbed her... she was super scary...
