This is a nice, friendly idea for a thread. Nice to see for a change.
I'm Dan, I'm from Windsor (about an hour or so west of Sydney)
I have:
1 x Jungle - Basil - he was my first snake and so my special boy (I've got a "portrait" of him covering my upper arm)
1 x Bredli - Ferdinand
2 x Spotteds - Jack & Jill
1 x Water Python - Bella
2 x Black headed monitors - Bunchy & Scrunchy (named by my gf for the way their skin looks)

I want:
Night Tiger
Lace Monitor

My collection:
1 x female Eastern Water Dragon - Rogue, not very handleable
2 X Gippsland Water Dragon Juvies as yet unnamed, one eats from my hand other runs
2 x Spotted pythons -female Cloak and male Dagger, not handleable but pretty to watch
2 x Uluru Womas - female Squiggle male Giggle, boy is very placid, haven't handled the girl yet
1 x het Darwin - male Smij, very placid and handleable
1 x Central Bearded Dragon - male Ghedorah, likes to puff up and act tough but is coming around, female coming next week
2 x Central Netted Dragons (my sons) - as yet unnamed, tolerate a little handling, are getting better
1 x Albino Darwin python on hold - female, apparently a lovely placid girl
1 cat - male Killda Catty (elmer fudd style)
2 x Jack Russell x - Piglet (female), Puppy (male), psycho dogs
1 x Bull Mastiff x Bull Arab - male Kaeleb, gentle giant but a bit narky with other big dogs and undesirables
1 x Siamese Fighting Fish - Hank
2 x Budgies - the Birds, very talkative and like to show off but don't like being touched
1 x rat Girly, likes the protection of her cage but doesn't bite

Next season I will be trying for a striped Darwin Het, Ridgetailed monitors (or possibly something a bit larger), Boyds, a Frilly, a rough scaled python and a green tree python and a male Eastern Water Dragon, some high red womas and a bigger house.

Oh, and I have a 16 year old son who used to handle ok but is getting worse with age.

Better update the list. now have my baby albino Darwin as yet unnamed, but considering Khaleesi, anyone watching Game of Thrones will get that. She is very tiny but is eating well and very adventurous. Also now have my female Beardie who is called Ginchiyo and she is lovely and tame. I have a striped Het coming from larks.

G'day Dan. Have seen you'r Bredli's face a fair bit on here and read a bit of what you've had to say. Nice to meet you properly!
We should have a race to see who gets a Lacie first. Hehe. Pretty keen on a Night Tiger myself too.
Got a pic of your tatt? Sounds cool. Love all their names.

Cheers for the update- jealous about your albino!
I went into a pet shop before- came out empty handed!- but one of the ladies in there was very interested in hearing about my new additions and updates on all my animals. I went on saying that I will never have enough. I. Really. Am. Obsessed!

**saximus** · 16-Jun-11, 02:09 PM

Haha well being in Geelong you will probably win with the lacie. I still have to wait a year or so before I can get my advanced licence.
This is a thread I made when I got my tattoo done: Jungle Tattoo

**TaraLeigh** · 16-Jun-11, 02:23 PM

Ohhh I see. That fails! You'll get one eventually anyway, just get other stuff inbetween. Hehe. You know G-town or you just know where it's at?
You'r tatt is amazing. I love it. I plan on getting a snake, a dragon/lizard/monitor/skink/gecko/something, a turtle and a frog somewhere on my body.

Nice collection mate...

**saximus** · 16-Jun-11, 02:28 PM

Haha nah don't know the area. I just know you guys have much slackers rules than us.
Thanks for the compliment. I flew all the way to Adelaide for it so yeah pretty happy result

There's a couple of recent ones in here Red:My Babies (pic heavy)
He's not the brightest and not the friendliest at times (seems to get PMS and only lets me handle him) but I love him like a child. I will cry like a little girl when he dies

**TaraLeigh** · 16-Jun-11, 02:32 PM

Uh huh. I'm only learning about other states rules from being on here + other random stuff I've heard over time. Bugger!
Yeah man. Sweet as. Going to tell us how much it cost ya?
Red-Ink- check out the Jungle tatt thread man. Pretty awesome!

**saximus** · 16-Jun-11, 02:35 PM

Haha it was about $600 for the ink and $100 for the plane trip (I work for an airline so get super cheap flights)
Longest five hours of my life but worth it

**TaraLeigh** · 16-Jun-11, 02:41 PM

Wow. SO worth it. I was expecting more for the tatt. Good job on the flights too though obviously

Got more ink?

**saximus** · 16-Jun-11, 02:42 PM

Yeah four more but all smaller stuff (the longest took about 45 mins). How about you?

**TaraLeigh** · 16-Jun-11, 02:49 PM

I has a star on/around my elbow [Tara= star in Indian so that's cool]- didn't know that when I got it] That was my first. I love stars. So many cool things have happened with stars/my name since.
Uhhh and 'Seize the day' on my lower back. Have a pic of that on my profile background actually.
The Southern Cross on the back of my neck.
Mum and Gam on my inner wrists. Gam= what I call my Nana <3
Next= corset ribbons & bows up my sides/ribs. Ouch. Few other plans too.

**hugsta** · 16-Jun-11, 05:27 PM

I have
1 x MD
1 x spotted.

**snakeluvver** · 16-Jun-11, 05:47 PM

My pretty small collection list is in my signature, but in a year or so I'm getting either a Blue tongue or a small monitor (or maybe even a large dragon like a EWD or Frilly), and hopefully soon I'm allowed a small lizard species. Trying to decide between a Wheeleri, Sandswimmer, *****ly Forest skink, Central Netted Dragon or a Pygmy Beardie.
