Nick, stop please, no more, it's killing me :lol:
Only joking, keep them coming, this is why I get mad when people say " I don't like expotics " it's just bizarre.
Absloutely beautiful Rainbow Boa.
 
Geesh- lemme see....

Rosy Boa x2
Red Rat Snake (aka Corn Snake) x2
Grey Rat Snake (many- great snakes)
Yellow Rat Snake (many)
Everglades Ratsnake
Pine Snake
Western Bull Snake (x4- hatched 'em with Dad when I was about 7)
Green Tree Snake (many)
Common Eastern King Snake
Green Anole (many many many)
Box Turtle (Many)
Painted Turtle
Axolotl
Gopher tortoise :) (YES- I had it legally)
Ball Python (VERY overrated I felt)
Redtail Boa (Kept for a friend)

Mostly all, except for the redtail and ball of course, were wild-caught and tamed, or kept for a few months them released.

I was REALLY hanging for:

Grey King Snake (mouth watering Homeresque style)
Indigo Snake (still watering)

AND the crowning glory of ALL: An alligator snapping turtle, rehab case that had had a delivery truck run over it's tail, and lost a scale as a result. That bas$%$d could jump! It lived in my bathtub for about 1 month, and almost collected fingers from everyone in my family, and a piece of my dog's nose!

I also worked at a wildlife center, where I was one of the Alligator carers, so I guess you can throw in about 300 Florida Alligators- as they kept laying eggs, and all these bloody babies would hang around in the habitat for a few months each season before going out through the chainlink to wreak havoc on the neighbourhood :)
 
I never had nuthing as pretty as that Rainbow boa- man did I always want one of those!

When Trader and I were supervising a school canoeing trip in Canada I saw a HUGE snapping turtle swim under the canoe. It would have been close to a meter in length. I imagine that one that size could take your arm off wthout hesitation.

Why couldn't Australia have evolved like Madagascar with its own chameleons :'(

Yeah, and the dancing singing lemurs!

I like to move it, move it...
