Collections/Families

[TaraLeigh]

My son Oak already pretty much had everything prepared as he wanted them for his birthday and it was his 16th birthday the day after we picked them so it all worked out pretty awesomely. Oh, and they have names now, little one is Asterix and the big one is Obelix

Sweet! Love the names.

tara, try braining the pinkie or dipping it in egg yoke...one yah stimmie gets the taste of blood it will hoover it down

[bigfella77]

Rindles- Congrats on you'r first snake
I've got a Stimmo that I got at the Reptile & Amphibian Expo in Feb that has only eaten a pinky since and we've tried alot of other things and times. I love Green Tree Frogs- I think everyone should have them. Also Beardies are one of the best pets to keep. I don't handle my frogs much but the dragons will sit on me for hours.

Kaotikjezta- The Netteds opportunity was the reason I joined this site but it was not long before my 21st and I got told I was too old. Bummer- I should have got one of the 3 kids I live with to jump on the computer and do the write up instead. But congrats to you and you'r kids! I will have them one day. One day I say.

Welchy94- I'm SO jealous of you'r 3 Diamonds. I want them so bad.

Hey Rhiannon you'r collection may be small but it's great

Hey Zeke- Do you prefer the BHP or Woma or don't have a fav?
Love Medusa as a name And Lucifer! Haha.

Bigfella77- Do you have plans for breeding?

Snakes123- I had a gecko when I first started keeping frogs but he escaped and ran away But I'm getting more keen on keeping different assortments in the future. Have fun on you'r catching up journey

Nah, no plans to breed anything, not yet anyway. Still only new to keeping reptiles and have a hell of a lot to learn before I go putting my reps through a breeding cycle. I think id crap myself if I found myself with a dozen hatchies that wont eat, think ill leave it to the pros for a few years at least.

Thanks Tara,
they are a beautiful dog to have, and the puppies are very cute, it will be sad to have to sell them...
the collection is increasing at a slow pace at the moment...

[TaraLeigh]

hey taraleigh i cant choose between the 2.. they both have quirks about them so it is hard to choose hahah

Fair enough! I want one or the other. Or both =p

Yeah I have never been into dogs or cats. At all.
But it's all very exciting for you =]
Mine is growing but I have a feeling that whatever I have, it will never be enough. I will collect til the day I die!

[zeke]

get both is the answer! haha =p they are both worth the money

[sammie-leigh]

we went from 3 reptiles to 11 reptiles in about 4 months so i think we have taken a break on growing the collection for a short period of time to get the other animals sorted as well as increase our rat breeding colony so hopefully we will no longer have to buy rats to feed the snakes we have at the moment and the rest we plan on buying.

[TaraLeigh]

Yeah we went from a couple of each frog, turtle, snake & lizard to 34 in a 6 month period.... Haha.
My boyfriend actually works on a rat farm so that's VERY handy. But we need to start doing it at home too.
Buying food is way too expensive if you have a large collection.
Crickets as well.... a bit over feeding tub upon tub of them out @ $5-$7 each.... That's fading out into other options.

I think all reptiles and amphibians are worth the money Zeke! =] You'r very right.

Hey TaraLeigh, welcome to the site
Names Mel and my collection is nowhere near everyone elses haha oh well! I got:
1 spotted python - Nagini
Hoping for an MD soon and my cousins albino darwin... he reckons he's going to give it to me, but I doubt he will when he realizes the price of them lol.
3 horses - Filly and Amber are thoroughbreds and Carly is an arab X
1 dog - Sandy is a dingo X husky. Weird combination eh?

Hope you have fun on here!

Hey Mel!
Thanx. I'm already having fun and learning new things every day on here. I love it.
I want to go horse riding too.
Jealous.
Do you plan on having more reptiles in the future or are you happy with just a couple?

Hey everyone else..... start posting some pics! =]

[KaotikJezta]

Ok, heres some:

and a few more, the last one is my rat Zeke who recently died

[MChaz]

No problem

Yes I definitely plan on getting some more... I think I might stick to snakes though, I definitely have a soft spot for them! After an MD (if I dont get an albino darwin) then I'll probably head towards a woma... They seem so much different to other pythons and a lot of people on here seem to recommend them.. Maybe I'll add to my antaresia and get a stimsons or childrens? Hmmm... You've got me thinking now! Hahaha. Oh and here's a pick of Nagini
