And my dad built me a big shelf and everything in the basement so I could keep all these animals. And, and it was just, and then when I was a young volunteer at the Awa Zoo, in about 15, they had a little Cayman, which is a South American alligator that was, that death star wasn’t doing very well. It was, it’s kind of upstairs in the bar and, and an aquarium. And the zoo director says, oh, you can have it. It’s gonna die. Anyway. Well, I took a challenge and I took home some beef heart from, from the zoo and sliced it up real small and started force feeding it down down his throat. And he grew and grew and grew. And I kept him for years. And so my folks were very, very permissive of letting me have some animals in the house.
