Jo, I read it as this:

[Lizardlover]

I keep a leopard gecko, ball python, and savanna monitor, not much in the reptile department besides my chams, I keep a few insects (phasmids, roaches, etc.) but in the end all the spares turn into feeders. So they are multipurpose pets

I have been interested in some Erpeton tentaculatus that they just got in at my local reptile shop.

 

[Julirs]

Cresties, Torts, Beardies, and Sliders.

If you include babies/eggs then my count is similar.

Dan what are all of these?? I am not well versed I guess.

All i have other than chameleons are 11 beardies (6 need homes ), 2 uromastyx, 2 leopard geckos. Strays keep showing up here, anyone want a beardies or 2 or maybe a nice pair of leopard geckos?

 

[hallenhe]

Only a leopard gecko. They're not reptiles, but we have three newts (Oregon, paddletail and Spanish ribbed) and a tiger salamander. I'm hoping to get a non-crestie Rhacodactylus (probably gargoyle) within the next year or so. Want a beardie and a knight anole someday; am in no rush.

 

[DJ Richey Rich]

[Montium]

What are your thoughts on the Shingle backs?

 

[jojackson]

Great animal, become very placid, almost dog like in captivity, mine wander freely when the dogs are not about. They do have long periods of very little activity, middle of the day when they normally seek shelter from heat.
They do need enviromental stimulation, stuff to dig in, occasional swim, hiding fruit ect, otherwise they can sulk. I give them a tennis ball in their enclosure to push around, they seem to enjoy it.
Drink rarely, omnivorous diet, mostly veg/fruit, snails, chilled bugs, occasional wet dog food.
Like lots of heat, but like anything else, cooler spots aswell.
Dont do well outdoors in high humidity areas due prone to RI's.
Excellent kids pet, rarely if ever even try to bite. Can pee/poo on you if not handled right. They hate to feel unbalanced, flat hand/arm beneath is best, they like all 4 feet on the ground.
Slow to mature, breed best in trio or colony unless bonded very early. Wild pairs are generally monogamous, but they will mate others in captivity.
For kids 10/10
For adult keepers who dont expect too much 9/10

Heres a feature I did about them for a freinds website

Jo, I'll take one. :3

 

[Olimpia]

I have 9 leopard geckos (and hopefully many more babies by this summer!), my Jackson's chameleon, 4 crested geckos (hopefully one more from the January show), and in theory, a baby panther cham too. I plan on getting a small collection of African fat-tailed geckos too at the coming shows.

But with my roommate, we have a ball python, 2 corn snakes, 3 bearded dragons, and thousands of feeder insects lol.
