The Reptile Thread

There seems to be a few disjointed threads about these so I am creating one. The asterix button is broken so I cannot make it an official one

.

Just purchased this beautiful Blazing Blizzard Albino Leopard Gecko:

Here is my other Gecko Horace, Yellow with a Carrot Tail

My Royal Python (Still un-named! Suggestions are welcome)

Also have 2 Beardies,

Falcor:

Errol (In her new Viv minimal at first, more decoration in there now):

And a High Red Ruby Eyed Corn Snake, Pictures will follow in a few days!

Also waiting on 2 Red Eyed Crocodile Skinks!

Anyone has any questions, or information on care of these fantastic animals, hit me! There are quite a few reptile lovers on here, and one thing you find is that one is never enough!

Added another pic to OP.
You can't really see the yellow colouring on its back, which will change as it gets older. Horace used to be stripey!

Now I've rehomed him, it means I have a 4x18x18 viv going spare so I need to think of something to fill it with!

Get a pair of these:

Well, we are putting a pair in a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft for life, they should be happy there. They like to climb as well, so make more use of the space than leo's etc.

Found this website:
http://www.tribolonotus.com/HOUSINGMAINTENANCE.htm

Says 2.5ft2 for one, and 3.75ft2 for 2. So yes. They like to live in pairs. They are quite rare, ours were £95 each!

Oh, Horace just shed last night! Got to get an up to date photo today ro tomorrow!

Finally picked up the Red Eyed Crocodile Skinks!

They came as a m/f pair. Wild Caught, and seems very tame already. Not seen them out and about, they are very shy animals.

Vid of the croc skink eating waxies. Unfortunately, the (what we presumed to be) male died a fair few months ago, this is always a risk in WC animals, we actually suspect we had 2 females and one became egg bound, or the stress of the egg killed her. Looking for a CB Male now!

Also will be buying this year, is Phelsuma Klemmeri (Yellow Headed Day Gecko) will be getting an unrelated trio.

Also acquired 2 of these in September:

Mourning Geckos, which are all female, and reproduce with parthenogenesis, should have loads by this time next year. They look like this now, and are about 3-4 times the size they were! Cool as hell, and sticky feet geckos. Incredibly small as younguns, and was absolutely convinced they kept escaping. Sods

Look like this now: Their colours change throughout the day and night and based on moods etc.
