Hisses, pisses & sometimes kisses.

My fiance brought a bucket of toads and set it on my laptop

She looks like a baby dragon

I guess this dude must trust me a little if he lets me get this close with my phone camera

Me, my fiance and our roommate do a lot of public events, educational presentations, and birthday parties with the reptiles. They also work day jobs but I haven’t found one yet since moving to Oregon, so I have been focusing on my writing and hopefully making a career out of that. A great deal of our enclosures and other supplies are donated to us (we also get wholesale on goods from the all-rescue pet store we used to work at in California and we buy our feeders online in bulk) so that also helps lower the cost of upkeep. Our vet is also low cost and wonderful. 

It really depends on what species you’re thinking of getting and the individual animal. For the temperature and humidity requirements of most large lizards, and burrowing needs of a lot of monitors and tegus, you will probably be better off building a large enclosure and just letting the animal out for roaming time when you’re home to supervise for a few hours at a time and then returning them to their enclosure. 

Reticulated python or green tree python?

My amazon tree boa is liking being back in his enclosure after some repairs were completed
