Hey,
I was wondering if any of you guys were fans of reptiles? I've had all animals, especially when I was younger, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rodents, fish, virtually everything except birds(not a fan of things who uncontrollably crap too much). But always, growing up and now, I was always more of a fan of reptiles. They are great animals. I can showcase them when I don't want to hold them, they require minimum care compared to a dog, and they just look great and are fun to handle! I've owned skinks, a couple of snakes, turtles, things like that.
Skinks, I just bought one recently. It's a blue tongued and is a great pet, because you can carry it anywhere and it's really docile and calm. Great animal to have, you can even let it roam around for a while if you have a decent eye on it and there is no where for it to run. My snakes consisted of corn and king, however my corn died as it was my first(and a rare albino breed that contracted a disease) my king snake was great. He was friendly, and growing big. I never got to keep him that long as it is troublesome to go through life carrying around a snake.
I'm considering purchasing a newer snake, however I'm looking into either another kingsnake or perhaps a larger breed.
What about you guys? Have you owned any reptiles or are you a fan of any?
