I'm into snakes, i've owned a few of them over the last 15 years.

My current is a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, about 4 feet long.

anyone else?
 
:wave:I've never personally had any reptiles but I like snakes and lizards and have handled some small ones. They have their own beauty to them.

We have 2 leopard geckos and they are 8 months old. We got them 4 months ago, they grew a lot!
 
I used to have baby snakes and brown lizards. Even cute frogs! But that was long ago.
 
actually one time I went to a reptile demo in college where they had some gorgeous boas and some much larger snakes and large iguanas and I got to hold them, that was very cool. I went to a university which was well-known for its natural resources college and biology, etc. studies programs so they had a lot of such activities for students.

I understand that reptiles have particular requirements for temperature, moisture, shade etc.
 
I'm a reptile breeder in San Antonio. Good to see other deaf people into reptiles!
 
I loved my bearded dragon but I couldn't support her for long :( my two cats were cheaper than she was (as far as providing all she needed) it broke my heart but I gave her to a wonderful family that was very familar with beardies. She very happy now a days, I still have a big heart for reptiles but I'm not ready for one again just yet :) Their a lot more work than some would think.
 
I have a mounted diamondback rattlesnake. :)

I'll never own a pet snake,nah,not me,no thanks. Im petrified of snakes. They dont make noises. :lol:

I bought one in Las Vegas. Mine is very similar to this one in pic below.

I had two ball pyythons when I was younger. My father and mother would not allow me to own the more " dangerous " snakes...ha. I really wanted a red tailed boa but they balked at that idea. My mother was so terrified of the snakes that she made me keep them in my fathers garage in the backyard. I also had two iguanas but they were in my room. I wasn't happy with the lizards, prefer snakes.

I'd love to own an emerald tree boa :) they are beautiful.
 
I like lizards but never had any. Snakes creep me out. OMG, I can't handle them. Kamoto dragons are cool but I wouldn't want one.
 
I don't own any but there are lizards running around on my property. The other day I saw one running fast with its head and tail high and it does look like a miniature dinosaur.

One of the last times I went to Louisiana, there were alligators on some of the roads. It was creepy but kinda cool. Imagine walking out of your house to see one walking down the street. :giggle:
 
My old roommates had five snakes: 2 red tail boas, 1 blood python, 1 California kingsnake, and 1 ball python. When we were living together, we had 10 pets in total :lol:
 
I used to have Garter Snake as pet for short time. The problem is feeding with mice. Since garter snake have special diet and it was a little young. Pet store do carry frozen baby mice but it don't have smaller size. I can feed it with earth worms but must have calcuim powder coat over worm so snake can have good bone. So I decide to let it go.

Garter snakes' main diet includes fish and frogs, which is probably why you had a hard time making it eat mice pinkies.

:hmm: I never thought Fishes!! I've seen Garter tried to swallow frog once. The website abt Garter snake diet did not say more than just pinkie mice and worms. That would make a Garter a keeper if I am able to get fishes.

You can get feeder guppies or minnows from your local pet store. NEVER feed them goldfish! :nono:

I have a good website on garters bookmarked somewhere on my mac, when I find it, I will send the link to you. :thumb:

Here is the picture of 2 leopard geckos named Speedy and Seth. This was before they got seperated due to aggressive behavior.
