What a great collection of reptiles you have ace201. Although I'm not a fan of reptiles - particularly snakes (irrational I know!) I admire anyone who looks after them

ace201 what a beautiful collection of reptiles you have. I really look forward to seeing more pictures. I'm especially interested in your rough green snake as I do love snakes but always been put off as I don't think I would be able to feed pinkies or anything like that lol. I had also been considering getting a bosc monitor but not full decided..plus need to work on convincing my partner but also again I'm not sure I could deal with their diet...I may just stick to my leopard gecko lol

ace201 I think I will just need to continue being an admirer rather than a keeper lol. I could feed eggs.. prawns...and the insects...mealworm, crickets and do on are what Kai my leopard gecko feeds on lol. Just wish I could get my head round feeding pinkies and so on. My mate has has loads of corns and bred then n now keeps boas which I love handling them all lol, he says you get use to it after a while but dont think I could lol. Im trying to possibly fill Kais baby viv which is only like one feet but not sure what with yet lol
