    Anybody own a reptile?

    Here's my little guy... a bearded dragon. He's about 1 1/2 yrs old, right around 18-20 inches. His name's Raptor but I usually call him Weirdo Beardo

    Compared to any other animal/rodent or w/e they're practically statues that look cool. But compared to other reptiles Id say beardies are more on the active side. They like to punch the glass in thier tank a lot. Its really cute.

    Than when they walk on a hard floor they slide around and wobble like a seal, its pretty cute. I worked with these things for like 4 years at petsmart but would never buy them although I think most reptiles are pretty cool. Buying crickets/mice every week def becomes a hassle and an expense after a while.

    Id rather have a scorpion or maliuromastyx (sp)

    They can live 15-20 years... pretty active when younger but now the only time he runs is when he's chasing after food lol. He'll dart a couple feet but its a lot slower than when he was little.

    Yeah dude I haven't been back in a few months. Been busy with school, training people, and other stuff. Its good to be back though. Kinda funny seeing "the roid store" banners they make me laugh.

    Yea, 2 1/2 years ago I did Test E 500mg/week for 12 weeks, w dbol for the first 4... then 1 1/2 years ago I did Test E 750mg/week and Deca 400mg/week for about 8 weeks, then got pneumonia and lost 20 lbs but 6 months after that I competed in a show. Thats 4 days after the show in my avatar, all blown up from carbs and water. Been natural for about 18 months, probably gonna get back on a bulker here pretty soon.

    Part of my job when I worked at petsmart for 4 years was to count crickets for people and put them in a bag.

    You get use to the insects.. but you NEVER get use to the way people react when they see your hand reach into a pile of thousands of crickets and count them from your hand.

    Not only that but an easy 75% of ppl who own reptiles get all freaked out when they come in to get the crickets.. i never understood it.

    You can have a little baby dinasour in your house but an insect scares you? (talking about the customers)

    I owned a Gheko and some British lizards in the past however you have to take a bit of a risk cause they mostly live on Crickets and it's a bastard if one or more crickets escape!

    I love reptiles and amphibians.

    Mostly of what I've had in the past I've caught in the wild. Box turtles, Snapping turtles, red eard sliders, painted turtles, garder snakes, green snakes, rat snakes, ring neck snakes, tree frogs etc... I only kept some of the turtles that I found in the road, and later when they got to big I let them go in lakes.

    I did have 2 tiger salamanders, a pac man frog, a crested gecko, and I can't remember what else that I actually bought from a store.... Oh yeah iguanas.....uhhh cant remember the rest.

    Now I'm currently looking for a cool/held friendly lizard. Like beardies, but I'm thinking more towards a blue tongue skink....Or maybe some more exotic lizard.

    Anyone know of some kickass lizards for under 200 bucks?
