I know im not the only one with reptiles! I have snakes and geckos. 1x Columbian boa, 2x ball pythons, 1x adult female crested gecko, 2x unsexed crested gecko baby's, 2x juvie african fat tails, and 1x leopard gecko. I love having them showcased around the house! It makes my place interesting and you never feel alone. I make sure to take the utmost care for all of them and make sure they are healthy and happy as can be in captivity.

    I has a turtle.  My grandmother has geckos that roam her home.  Maybe one day I'll catch one. Maybe. 
     
    Recently I handled a green anaconda.  Kind of makes me want to own a snake again.  The one I had over twenty years ago somehow managed to commit suicide... :(

    I have 2 red eared slider turtles and they laid an egg too. Don't know if it will hatch though as it was laid in water.

    Turtles are cool! @dave, you dont like snakes huh! I personally HATE spiders. Every last one of them. Fortunately the majority of spiders in my area (Canada) are mostly harmless. There are two poisonous spiders here that can actually hurt you, black widows and brown recluses.

    HAHA, I actually have no problem with snakes, just all the snake pictures I felt a Indiana Jones quote coming is all  :)
    Not wild about spiders, but not really a big deal either, I do know a few MAJOR arachnophobes though.

    Growing up, I used to raise Iguana's.  My biggest one was around 3ft with a slightly broken tail.  Meaning at some time before I got her, she dropped a portion of her tail so it didn't come to a really narrow point.  She had a bit of a stub.  I really miss her though.  I used to take her everywhere.  I would go for a drive, take her to the mall and other places.

    Does snakes in the yard count?  Several black rasers, 2' pigmy rattler, and a 6' eastern diamondback just the other day.

    I was when I was about 18. I had 30 at one point. All very well kept.

    My favorites were my 8 foot columbian boa and a 6 foot albino corn snake I got a as baby (7 inches long).

    Lots of fun, lots of hard work to keep them all at 100%. After a few years I found them new homes and got a cat.

    Hahaha Drerex, ya home security at its finest. Not sure I would even wanna be there. Thats cool though. 
     
    @seth, thats awesome! Must have had lots of babies no? I would be pairing couples together if I had that many. When I bought my female adult crested gecko, she was from a breeder and she was pregnant. So now I have two crested gecko eggs in an incubator, they should be hatching sometime around october 24th-31st.
     
    I cant believe you got rid of them all and replaced them with a cat! Thats funny 
     
    I REALLLYY want to get a green tree python or emerald tree boa, I just cannot afford the steep price of them right now.
