my wife got a few more

Ill post pics of the others.

REALLY, REALLY NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks. He's for sure a looker. She got a viv with a mister and is planning on getting some dart frogs also. I don't know who this woman is anymore. Lol

Hey she puts up with you! Sounds like you guys are perfect for each other.

Lol yes she does. She's a good wife. We finally had a convo the other day that didn't involve snakes.

Wow! That is a very beautiful gecko!!!

Looks good Zak!!

That's awesome Zak, I wish my wife liked reptiles as much as your wife does. It would be a lot easier to convince her that I need to get the next one that I really want and so on and so on.

Beautiful gecko. You could always tell your wife that there are worse hobbies out there-look at Charlie Sheen.

You just gotta find the right reptile. My wife doesn't care for the snakes at all or lizards, but tortoises are a different story. Show your wife some smaller species of tortoise like russians or redfoots. It's hard to say no to a cute little tortoise. My wife likes them so much that we have even decided on saving up throughout this year and getting an aldabra next season. That would never happen if she wasn't into them also. Everyone loves tortoises!

I never thought my wife would ever like any reptiles at all. I think what got her to like them was going to shows. She doesn't like snakes at all either but she puts up with them. She's online a lot and now she's always reading and looking at geckos online. Thanks everyone for the compliments on the gecko. He's a good looking little dude.

I don't really condone hand feeding monitor lizards, but I showed my wife a video of a guy hand feeding his ackie monitor some crickets and she immediately thought it was so cute and said I should get one of those. So needless to say I should have one in a few weeks. She does like lizards and torts., but she is not crazy about snakes so I only have the one BP right now.

That's a start. The more my wife sees other reptiles the more she likes them. I've also caught her reading my reptiles magazines too.

My mom and dad have gone from saying "you can only have ONE snake" to "Whatever fits in your room with only the tanks you already have." lol I had begged my parents for a pet snake back when I was in 2nd grade, but I didn't actually get my first snake until I was in the 8th grade. That ONE snake collection quickly grew to a collection of one snake, a tarantula, a scorpion, and a lizard. This later grew to the 10 snakes we have in my house now (soon to be more!). My sister Lydia actually got the first pet reptile of the house.
I am also hoping that I will be able to get mates for the snakes that I currently have that I hope to breed in the years to come (ie. blue beauty and red tailed green rat snake).

Ya I remember always catching my pet snakes. Man those were the good ole days. Shoes and tv's weren't invented back then either. Its funny how quickly a small collection can grow!

Man I hope you enjoy them, they were good to me.

Ya we are digging them for sure.
