Reptile and amphibians! Who has em'?

[Chikyboy]

This thread is for reptile and amphibian keepers. Or if you don't have any but have questions about them you can be here as well! Feel free to ask questions about reptiles and amphibians, answer questions about reptiles and amphibians, talk about reptiles and amphibians, or just post pics of any reptiles you have or have found in the wild. I have a 1 ball python and one american bullfrog. Well, have fun!

I have two Redbacked Salamanders, Newton and Smiley. Found them in our yard and have kept them for 4 months. I have started a springtail colony to feed them. I think one is pregnant.

First time I saw a bearded dragon, it absolutely stole my heart! A year later in the summer of 2020, I finally got my own bearded dragon. This is Ember

I cannot believe how tiny he was!

For Easter last year

And Christmas of 2021. As you can see, he is VERY impressed lol

Why do reptiles not have fur?

Hey! Love to answer. Reptiles are ectotherms, if they had a insulating layer such as fur, it would reduce its ability to adjust its body temp and they rely on doing that! Hope this answers your question.

Thank you! It's literally just the first thing that popped into my head when I read the first post.

I have a pair of corn snakes. I love them!
