Not quite awake and caffeine withdrawal (I am detoxing, this is my fourth day without coffe now).
Buuut...I find spiders nasty because they have eight legs. Then, I find snakes nasty because they have no legs. Wouldn't it be great if spiders and snakes could share legs? Then both would have 4 legs each, and by definition this would turn them into cute kittens. Think about it...just take a minute and think about it...the possibilities...
Please don't feed me. |

Cool. Never even knew those existed until you mentioned them. Had to do a google search to make sure you weren't just pulling our legs and then read about them a little. I did read that you have to be a bit gentle with them or else they'll bunch up on you. |

I hear turtles are also popular. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I have a corn snake, which are great pets as far as reptiles go. Active, smart, and pretty tame. The only problem with those guys is taking them out of the tank for a little recreation and exercise. They're constantly in motion, and they're damn quick. Take your eye off of them for a second and they're gone. They you have to spend the rest of the evening playing snake hunt.
I'd like to have a monitor lizard someday. They move more like a smooth, agile snake than a jerky, clumsy lizard. It's pretty dramatic when they go into predator mode and seize the prey. I've heard their tanks get really smelly though. Anybody have experience with monitors? |

Never really went into the realm of reptile ownership myself. The closest that I have currently are wild Bull snakes that I occasionally find in the garage. I'll catch them and move them somewhere where I think a mouse would hide.
Had a buddy who owned a iguana for a while which was pretty cool. He said it was pretty tame for while but due to lack of handling it had gotten a bit more aggressive over time. Probably explains why I jumped like a girl one day because it lunged at me from the bath tub as I was trying to feed it a strawberry. |

I mostly have experience with snakes, huge and small, my biggest guy is 45lbs. Moniters are cool but they will need their own room eventualy, so be prepared to have a "house pet" in the future if you get one. I have a little experience with alligators but they are pretty different. |

when i was little i found a eastern box turtle in the woods. this was in the midwest. must have been an intrepid little bugger. i kept him for awhile (yes, it was a "him" according to the pet guy) but...remarkably, he escaped one day. i know! who would have thought a turtle to be a great escape artist? he was like the houdini of all turtles. |

Growing up we had a gopher snake as a pet - Wild-caught (she climbed into my step-father's sleeping bag), she was remarkably docile and easy to handle; content to drape herself over our shoulders and (literally) hang out. Only kept her three or so years befroe releasing her back into the wild. At the time we released her, she was a veritible giant of her species, over 8 feet long. Yeah, we kept her well-fed.
Along the same time, we also had other examples of south-west desert species present in the house (that being my step-father's area of research), including an immature (and *very* nasty) western diamondback rattlesnake and a horned toad (AKA horned lizard).
Oh, and a pallid bat. Yes, really. Also quite docile and easy to handle - would take mealworms from your hand, or take them on the wing if you tossed them up. Had to make sure the room was *tightly* sealed to prevent his escape before releasing him to fly, of course.
All of the above were returned to their habitats before long.
Last, we had some red-eared slider turtles that grew to entirely unreasonable size on their diet of minnows and stunned horseflies; we'd hunt horseflies for them, and because the turtles woudn't eat dead prey, we learned how to swat the horseflies in such a way to stun and mangle them without killing them. The turtles [i]loved[/io] those.
Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I've never seen a rattlesnake tank that wasn't covered in venom, and yeah its usually pretty easy to handle some wild snakes depending on the species. I'm in Ohio at the moment so there isn't much here reptile wise. Back home in SC though it was a blast, there were always interesting reptiles to find. There is a population of water snake out here that is endangered literally because people mistake them for cotton mouths and always kill them. Got a new little girl today, a 3 month red tail boa, she's a lighter phase, almost pink. |
