Got a Normal ball as a juvenile 20 years ago and put him in 5x2x2 right out the gate he’s always been super active and used every bit. Little does he know I’m building a new 8x3x4 for him. And he just got new acracdia LumenIZE led&uvb lighing.

Every video about cresties: "They won't destroy the plants."
My crestie: "Hold my beer."

a lady at a reptile expo in Texas was selling them. She had a Lilly White baby she was giving away, the tickets for the raffle was 60 bucks and there was one raffle ticket left and somebody came by and took the last one while I was asking my mom. The lady saw I started to cry. She took a higher end, more beautiful, Lilly White and gave it to me for free. I was so happy. To this day he's still growing and eating. He's my favorite reptile in my house besides my williamsi

Since 2021 I have been doing my homework on reptiles, snakes, and amphibians. I didn't know what I was going to get, but now I do and I'm so excited. We are going to get a Bearded Dragon from a rescue, when I have everything ready for at least 6 months. That's for all of the enclosure, lighting, and substrate. I'm so excited!!!!💜💚

"...this is true in snakes and in my relationship, also..."
Me: spits cookie across the room and falls off chair laughing.

The first sentence hits hard... i spend almost $2000 on an enclosure for my ball python which i literally spend $60 on because i wanted it to be huge

The good thing about "cheap" reptiles (except green iguana) is they all make really great pets... most of them are so cheap because they are good pets and everyone wants them

Made my mom watch this with me so she could get some ideas for Christmas lol. We already have a lot of tanks.

Just bought a crestie at a local reptile show. He/she is about half grown and was $75. I bought the enclosure and one of the hides which doubles as a feeding ledge on clearance. One of the major decor items and the plants were also on clearance. I took my time and bought things as I saw them at a good price. It still adds up, but doing it slowly, it wasn't as painful as buying all at once.

My 75 year old Dad just adopted the adult ball python that I was fostering.

I’m so happy that you said don’t cheap out on the setup because I had “friends” that would have a normal Ball Python in a 40 gallon! And even when I started in the hobby I was like this (since I have changed of course). Thanks for giving us poor people with some options 😂.

In snakes, males are smaller than females, and in my relationship too.

Great line.

I was given a bearded dragon in a 36 gallon enclosure earlier this year. He was about 10 inches long at the time. He’s now 22 inches and getting ready to move into his bio active 215 gallon custom built cabinet. Most important thing I’ve learned so far is that no matter how much I thought I was ready to have multiple reptiles in a collection. I am not, but we’re gonna make sure that Arnie has a kick ass place to live and be awesome.

Bearded dragons are definitely not boring mine is active, he jumps runs. Always looking what I’m doing. Mine has a terrarium 220 cm wide x140 cm deep x120 cm high. You should see him when he gets his insects in his enclosure 😂

[shannongrove]

The PetSmart near me had ball pythons for $50 as a special. I bought two and gave them homes. They're living their best lives now being loved every day.

[MrBeefy-ognw]

Bearded dragons are amazing and the bond I had with mine was on the level of a dog if not more. Rest in peace my Pancake. Much love to your Diamond.

[ClevelandKitten]

Also I have taken care of a Bearded Dragon, and I owned a Red Legged Walking Frog for over 2 years. He was amazing!

[cyndifowler]

One of these days I really hope to see you at NARBC in Texas! I got to meet Emily, Ed, and Dav this year, which was awesome, BUT I was hoping you'd be there too! You're one of our household favorites. Thank you for all you do!

[CheshireCatism]

I'd also recommend looking into reptile humane societies/rescues. At my local one the adoption fees range from $10-$65 depending on type of animal, you know the money is going towards helping the rescue keep doing what they're doing, and you are giving an animal a second chance. :)

I got my dragon from someone that got her from an old roommate. She was very old already and had lived in a 40 gallon all her life and never handled. I put her in a 4x2x2 gave her everything she needed and pretty much spoiled her. She recently died and it sucks. I wish I could have had her longer.

[dacisky]

Carolina anoles, $7.00 each.😄LOL! Enjoyed your small male joke in the python bit. Well done!!!

[bipolarchemist]

Stenodactylus sp. are pretty cool but I prefer Tropiocolotes sp. They share a lot of the same characteristics, they are both communal and fairly non-aggressive but it is just something about Tropiocolotes sp. I also believe, in general, that they are smaller and I do enjoy smaller lizards.
