hi, i've been keeping reptiles for many years and have a couple of Leopard Gecko's, Green Anoles and Fire Bellied Toads, dying to get my hands on a pair of Albino Royal Pythons, but too much expense at the moment :(

Had a leopard gecko. it made it all the way to 8.5 years old and survived 2 life threatening illnesses before giving up the ghost.
Novelty wears off after a while, sure its fun to let it run through your hands and stuff but its just not a dog is it, prob wont get a reptile again.
 
7 snakes and 2 lizards. I don't have any pictures on this computer yet, but I posted some old ones in a thread a while back.

Two boas (one BCI/BCC cross, one costa rican BCI)
Two jungle carpet pythons
A king snake
A royal python
A hognose snake
And two bearded dragons.

We were considering getting a leucistic royal and breeding her, but it's just not worth the hassle, and prices are coming down so much now (they were £50k this time last year, now they're about £1.5-2k), so chances are it won't pay off.

I know a guy who must be sitting on at least £1 million in snakes, yet he isn't a particularly rich person.

i know what you mean, the keeping and feeding of loads of these animals are expensive, and expensive to purchase aswell! i really like the luccy snakes, but they're too much of a novelty

i dont know, i mean i spose a dog is just the same, you get a puppy and its great untill it starts chewing the sofa or going toilet in your living room, reptiles are housed easily, they dont need walking :D
