This is pretty random..

Here's the deal.. I'm in an apt. We aren't allowed to have cats or dogs here and fish suck. Have had all sorts of pets in my day: hedgehog, rats, guinea pig, bunny, cats, dogs, iguana, leopard gecko, various other reptiles.. Love going to some exotic pet shows if I get the chance.

My bf and I are interested in getting some sort of reptile creature. I think he was on the turtle/tortoise page and I have always thought chameleons are super cool.. last time I went to an exotic pet show the black and white argentine tegus caught my eye. We have been looking at care information and some youtube videos.. but I figured I'd ask you guys. What kinda reptile pets do you have at home? Tell me about them. Any advice?

 

ive had monitors, iguanas, and geckos, and my favorite by far is my sons gecko "ido" , it olny comes out at nite , but when he does he's out for food and lookin around. he is a leapord and ive become a fan...

 

yep, i've got 2 leopard geckos. not a lot of 'interaction' as pets go, but about as low maintenance as it gets.

 

what kind of gecko does your son have?

 

Its a leapord gecko.

 

Yeah, I was hoping for something a little more rewarding than that... something new and more exotic. The internet reptile elitests are like.. you have to have a 98734million square ft habitat for it. Seems high maintenance. Maybe over the winter we could build a screen/wire environment for it and search ebay for some cool waterfall stuff..

 

Corn snakes....I love 'em

 

They're cool, I love them- have had various snakes and lizards over the years- but they'll never be snuggly pets, so keep that in mind.

 

I know it.. :-( I'm a cat person to the core. Makes me sad. I can't wait to get a house... I want one of these:


(savannah cat)

And I wanna damn garage for all our toys.. they stay at the bf's parents' house..

 

that almost looks like an ocelot... my uncle had one for years, very cool animal but has turned on serveral people and provided a very good excuse to go get sewed up...
