Help needed choosing a proper lizard species pet
|
| |
When I was younger, so much younger than today, I had an ig, kept him for about four-and-a-half years, then left him in the care of the science teacher at school when I graduated. My ig never exhibited any of the nasty behaviors I've been reading about in this ng, which makes me think maybe it was not an iguana after all, or maybe not the green... more »

I caught a kingsnake!
|
| |
I went road hunting tonight and caught a beautiful kingsnake. It was lying in the middle of the road and I picked it up and put it in a container. It was fairly docile compared to other wild snakes I've caught in the past. It seems to be 2-3 feet long, and I would have preferred a baby as a pet, but this one will make a good breeding specimen, assuming I can... more »
