Reptiles as pets?

[Rune Haako]

Anyone else keep any reptiles as pets? Here's my Leopard Gecko.

Aww. I have 3 Leopard Geckos and a Bearded Dragon and a Scorpion although not a reptile. I used to have 5 geckos but 2 died. :(

Even though I do not have reptiles as pets (or any other pets for that matter), I still think that they look cute to me, especially baby ones.

Aww. I used to have a Leopard Gecko, but the pet shop employee suggested the wrong type of food, and his intestines exploded. Not a pretty sight. I only had him for a year :( .

I dont have any yet but i've just got hold of a 180l fish tank with a small leak that could well be turned into a viv. We keep tropical fish mainly and have five tanks currently but both my wife and I have been looking into buying a lizard of some kind although we're not sure which one yet, any idea's or tips?

I'd always recommend the Leopard Geckos. Relatively easy to look after and nice and clean. Beardies are a pain. If not, then Chameleons are cool or Water Dragons.

My son has a Colombian Red-Tailed Boa. We've had her just over a year, and she's grown from 18" to over 4'. Here's a picture of her from before Christmas.

She has been very easy going, loves being handled, and relatively care free, once you get the cage temperature correct. We feed her every two weeks or so. It's actually kind of fun to watch her strike and then swallow a rat whole. Not everyone's cup of tea, but my kids love it.

That Boa looks pretty menacing to me, but that's probably because I have no guts.
