Frilled Neck DRAGON for me - I love their size and personalities

 

[Ctenophorus]

If I have to name one it would have to be Molochs

I would love a perentie every one Ive had the pleasure of dealing with has been an impressive animal.

As for geckoes I am determined to get my hands on a couple of Jewelled geckoes (S. elderi) in the future but theyre not the easiest to find

My favourtie is the eastern water dragon. I wish they were more open to being handled but thats them. I currently have 3 males and would love a female if anyone has any available.

Check petpages they are everywhere at the moment.

Blotched blueys(alpine form) and shingle backs. Love tiliqua so easy to look after they will eat anything and if you want to breed them no incubation needed..

don't you like skinks lambertr?

nope, to small (some of them) and i'm a big lizard person especially with monitors and dragons! plus i live in the country and i've kind of adopted a pet frilly up at my dads place...he lets me touch him and hand feed him etc. i've even named him...sir frillster! funny part is he knows my sisters car so he runs up to it and greets me..dad and my step mum think im like a lizard whisperer and my sister just shrugs and says 'hi sir frillster'.

Umm...yes they are... They are part of the Agamidae family, commonly known as Dragons

. my apologies

Dragons - central beardies
Skinks - Shinglebacks
Geckos - Amyae
Monitors - never owned any, but i think the mangrove monitors are the prettiest, closely followed by spencers!

 

[danieloflat]

THAT is awesome lambert! i wish i had cool herps like that where i live,i pretty much just see common garden skinks and blueys haha

 

[Defective]

i only see him when i go to my dads. ohh and in the horse paddock theres a big bluey like its massive, the next door neighbours have a vegie patch and it feeds off the vegies, snails, slugs, worms and everything. i've only seen her 3 times...i know its a female coz i picked her up and sexed her. bush lizards are really docile and human friendly out my dads way... otherwise its just me and i give off a vibe or something.

 

[danieloflat]

hahaha that is cool as

mean much? lol...yeh i would probably do the same, depending on the time i was away, recently i left for 4 days, well the whole family did, i lowered the temps a bit, topped up the water, and chucked a pack of woodies in there...when i got back they were sleeping in the same hide, one on top of the other......and the smaller one had some chunks out of his tail....grrrrrr...they were only little, and have healed now....but i am not doing that again
