Curious about other people with scale-babies out there! What lizards/snakes or even chelonians/amphibians/arachnids/invertibrates do you have?

My pride and joy is my beloved bearded dragon, Curly Sue, who is (as I tell her endlessly throughout the day during multiple snuggle sessions) the CUTEST creature on earth. I'm also in love with my chinese water dragon, Reptar, red-eared slider, 4 green tree frogs, rosehair tarantula, 5 different types of hissing roaches, and various other feeders I breed & care for, lol, so I guess my little zoo is not for the faint of heart : P

Dogs are great, too : ) I have my share of fur-babies with a dog of my own and a rabbit, but my (comparatively newfound) passion is definitely of the cold-blooded variety : D

Have thought about getting a Reptile baby but I really don't know how much work they are or how much Vet cost is involved. I want to be able to do it right.

Yeah, it's always best to research and educate yourself beforehand, that's the sign of a responsible owner : D

They can take some getting used to, because you must have some things just right (lighting, temperature, humidity, diet, etc.) but once you have that down they are super rewarding (and depending on what kind, some downright snuggly) pets that are a complete joy to keep!

I've actually enjoyed breeding the feeder worms/bugs so much for my babies that it opened a business avenue for me, lol, which is pretty cool...
