I'm dying to buy a sulfur water monitor. They grow pretty big and I have always had a passion for big reptiles. The problem is that I have nowhere near 950-2000$ for the reptile plus the good care! Better start saving! This is one of my friend's sulfur water monitor that I want- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaYS70NTiX8

Hopefully i will have the extra money by summer

That's the reptile store I go to! The owner is super cool!! Best reptile store in Florida

I have nightmares (real nightmare, not just 'worry') about forgetting an animal that's been housed in some weird unused corner of my house. That really does stop me cold from acquiring more of anything.

1 24 year-old blue and gold macaw Nick
1 14 year-old black-headed caique Alice
1 monk parakeet (quaker) of unknown age Thelonious
1.1 cats Africa and Katherine
1 spouse Sweetheart

Submitted for your approval,

Two dogs (pekinese and harlequin great dane)
Three birds (Parakeets)
Three cats ( two tortoiseshell one of them is Persian then a tuxedo short hair)
And a Russian Tortoise named Herman.
And quite soon a baby chameleon!!

 

[alpayne]

Yah, that's right Rob, 26! I started collecting males before I decided I wanted to try my hand at breeding. I really need to sell off some of the extras...

 

[melric]

looking at my own list scares me LOL

Holy shit Ryan! I didn't know you had that many!!!!!!!

 

[melric]

7 Panthers
1 Veiled
8 horses on my property.
3 St Bernard,
5 chickens

I started feeling like a hoarder so I sold some of my chams, my beardy, snakes, and sulcata.

I've had so many animals over the years though. I love them all and if I feel like it's too much I make sure they get to a good home.

This goes to show you that modern man has successfully described every type of person in the form of a diagnoses. Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see. Live your life, be happy, let that happiness spread from you to your animals and those you care about, and I don't see any problem with that.

As long as the animals are being properly cared for, and it makes you and those around you happy, where's the issue?

In case you're curious my list is...
2 Beardies (Adult female orange sunset (Sydney), Juvenile Lemon (Sanders))
1 Veiled (Waldo)
1 Ambi Panther (Jah)
2 Sandboas (Jake and Sandy)
1 Chinese Water Dragon (Lily)
Feeder mouse colony
About 10 different mantis
3 Fishtanks

Not so bad, but we'll see what the count stands at after the Repticon show next week. Sheesh.

Thanks for the accolades! They all keep me pretty busy...one of these days though I want to try some of your babies, I keep looking at the ads when you have them for sale...
