Anyone here like reptiles?

[rabrabs14]

I have a reptile of my own, a leopard gecko to be exact. Anyone here have a reptile or just enjoy them?

We have a reptile zoo. lol

We have 5 leopard geckos. 2 of them are about 5 years old.

We have 1 bearded dragon.

We have 3 crested geckos (these are a more recent addition, and probably my favorite reptile to date).

We have 2 dumpy frogs. (there are my second fave).

And we have 3 armadillo lizards. These were actually sort of a rescue so I wouldn't mind getting rid of them.

I also raise mealworms and dubia roaches for my reptiles. The chickens are a newish addition for us, so they enjoy those as well

Wow!!! That sounds amazing. I'm waiting until I have my own house to get more reptiles, but I love my leopard gecko lol she's my first and only reptile. I've been considering armadillo lizards, are they hard to care for?

I know someone with a albino corn snake... I personally like geckos and bearded dragons the best though but my mom won't hear of it

haha yes I have my own house, but when I was younger I was constantly trying to talk my parents into all kinds of animals. Now I have a husband that is just as bad as me.

It is weird because I have a 3 year old son so I actually have lizards (and a dog) that is older than my child. lol I'm not sure why but I find that so weird.

I'm not really sure on armadillo lizards. It is sort of a learning curve for us. We paid for them after hearing some sob story. we basically just paid for the tank and whatnot that they were in though. I'm crazy about research and whatnot which was really easy for me to find out everything I needed to know with all my other reptiles, but info on the armadillo lizards is not as abundant and is really conflicting... We are still trying to figure it out basically. They are really fast though, and they hate being handled. They also won't eat the dubia roaches so we have to buy crickets for them.

Hahah you will -- except for feed cost! Feed at least sort of limits my zoo size.

We have two geckos, one Trimper (sp.) Albino and one fancy Leopard Gecko.
2 snakes
a Blue Tongued Skink
and we used to have a bearded dragon but she died a little while ago.

Not as many reptiles as some of you here have.

However,we also have a family dog, and lots of fish.
