I keep blue tongue lizards. They're skinks, actually. I have 3 southern blotched bluetongues and 2 shinglebacks. Australia does not export these animals any more. I could go on and on about them. I used also to keep horses but I don't now as I don't have the time or the land. I used to agist them and it cost me a fortune! I'd love to have horses again. Maybe one day.

Skinks are awesome! I don't have one, I just admire them. I have a Bearded Dragon. He knows his name, and comes when he's called! I could go on and on, too.

I love horses, too. I never owned one, but I used to muck for them. Aren't they deep?

My son has been obsessed with reptiles for almost 12 years now.  We take at least 4-6 trips a month to see lizards & snakes at various places around town.  He's had several snakes as pets throughout the years;  and he is currently researching the Chinese Water Dragon & the Bearded Dragon.

When I was about 13, I had a chameleon. It made me ill watching it eat crickets. When I was younger, my brother and i used to catch Garter snakes. I think we caught about 8 in one day. We would then let them all go.

I used to have a Green Iguana named Iggy but had to give her away years ago when I had to move and couldn't have her with me. Though if I get another lizard, it'd likely be a Bearded Dragon. The Chinese Water Dragon is really cool too. I may have to do more research on it.

I use to be a caretaker for animals at a small museum. The iguana was shockingly personable - even affectionate! I would like a Bearded Dragon, if I were ever to obtain a lizard, though. Nice animals. An iguana would just not be practicle for me.
