snakes i keep cos theyre such low maintenance and ive always been fascinated by them. not only are the animals beautiful, but their cages can be decked out beautifully and really add to the ambience of my home.
the lizards on teh other hand are just like small, non walk demanding puppies, full of life and curiosity, love nothing mroe than a pat/cuddle and sitting on the back of the lounge where they can either look out teh window of watch telly with their humans. even after the crappiest day they can make both me and my partner smile as soon as we walk thru the door.
we moved loungerooms a while ago and left the beardies on their usual spot in the old loungeroom, within 10 mins the first beardy appeared wanting to be put somewhere in teh room with us, within half an hour all 5 girls had come out and were happily set up in a new spot where they were near us and happy.
they stay in teh old loungeroom if i set them up there and go to work, but if anyone is home they want to be in the same room.
the shingles proved to be untoilet trainable, so they live in a cage when no ones home, as soon as they hear the front door theyre up against the glass wanting out, happily accepting a pat or treat before they go of and explore.
they geckos are stunning, and i like to look at beautiful things, so they make me happy too.
and to top it all off, im a feeder, and theres nothing better to watch than a reptile stuffing down its food of choice!
