Too many!! I currently have a normal leopard gecko and Russian tortoise, and I'm campaigning for any kind of blue-tongue skink, but it's a downhill battle on that one. In a few years I hope to get whatever I please! ;P

Realistic:
Okeetee corn snake
Anery black ghost corn snake (a childhood dream)
High white California kingsnake
Mexican black kingsnake
2 garter snakes, 1 wild type & 1 of any light colored morph
African fat-tailed gecko
Chinese cave gecko
2 viper geckos
2 Amazon milk frogs
2 White's tree frogs, 1 green & 1 blue

Possibly possible:
Brazilian rainbow boa
Eastern indigo snake
Leachianus gecko
2 Abronia graminea, 1 green & 1 blue (breeding pair??)
2 keel-bellied lizards (breeding pair??)
Golden poison dart frogs
Pac-Man frog
Pixie frog


Unrealistic:
Boelen's python
Bismarck ringed python
Black-headed python
Jeweled lacerta
Frilled dragon
Spider-Man agamas (breeding group)
Argentine black and white tegu


Literally impossible:
Axolotl (illegal to own where I live)

Obviously this is just a list of the herptiles I'm interested in. There's no way I could care for them all at the same time, and I haven't done extensive research on any of these because I know I can't have them yet. Right now I really just want a bluey; there are a lot for adoption near me.

Hello, reptile enthusiasts. I have a 3 year old Chinese Water Dragon, along with two frogs (a pixie frog/african bullfrog, and a pacman frog). His name is Niles, and he is the sassiest creature I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He's been my best friend and companion for two and a half years now, as well as my emotional support (registered) critter!
••••
I noticed that this thread doesn't have any information about water dragons, maybe I could help with that! I'd love to provide some care tips and basic info on this unique little species.

In no particular order in which I may get one day if I talk my boyfriend into them.:

- Chinese Water Dragon
- Leopard Gecko (I used to own a female until she sadly died)
- more bearded dragons
- Chameleon
- iguana
- Skink
- Uromastyx
- Tokay Gecko
- Crested Gecko
- gargoyle gecko
- common house gecko
- day gecko (I’d name him Geico cause they look like the gecko off the commercials xD)

Literally impossible because my boyfriend is terrified of them:
- any type of snake.

I really really want a hog nose snake ):

My bearded dragon woke up from brumation a couple weeks ago and boy is he so active now. Luckily he barely lost any weight and had a bowel movement pretty quickly after waking up.

I recently adopted a juvenile Blue Iguana! His name is Negan (yes, from TWD) and he is around a year old. He's 2.5ft long, very docile and sweet, and he enjoys chin rubs and head pats. He's an absolute joy. Niles, my water dragon, absolutely adores him. Niles thinks he's Negan's dad.

Just a quick question, any ideas how to further stimulate my leopard gecko? I handle her and rearrange the tank but she seems a bit bored. I can't have her run around my apartment. She a curious, slightly brainless little thing.
Love everything Dragon Age! i'm an avid reader and enjoy playing video games. I'm also into fiber arts such as knitting, embroidery, and crocheting.
