You guys are cracking me up!

[Betterhaff]

Had an iguana and a tortoise a long while ago. Those were a couple of long term reptilia I’ve had. Have had numerous amphibian, lizards, and turtles over my course, many acquired thru capture.

Here’s a good one. A friend found an anole in a box of oranges he got from Florida. He didn’t know what to do with it so he gave it to me since I had the stuff to set up a little home for him. So I set up an aquarium with all the fixings and he seemed to be quite comfortable. It was about the same time Taco Bell was doing a promo with the stuffed talking Chihuahuas. I got one and mine said “here leezard, leezard, leezard”. One day I was showing the toy to a friend and unknowingly set it on the table next to the anoles aquarium and that lizard flipped out…running, jumping, trying to hide like its life depended on it (in his mind he probably thought it did). It was too funny and I thought it was a fluke but every time I took that toy close to his pen the thing went nuts. Instincts are powerful.

Very nice! Sounds like you have Noah's ark over there! I've always loved snakes, just only have had lizards and have never owned any snakes. I'd love to see pictures of your frog tank(s) if you have any.

Got a bunch of blue tailed lizards - outdoors.

I can't stand the thought of barBQing them alive, so when I'm doing a controlled burn with rotten wet trees, I tear off the bark, throw the trees up in the air, etc., to break them up & let the critters escape before the wet wood goes on the fire.

You are a very kind soul. No lizards where I live, too cold. I love hearing the toad and frog songs at night in april/may. There has been way too much habitat loss over the past several years though.

Other than frogs, the only reptile I've ever seen in the wild here are Eastern Newts.

They are very small and normally as adults hide under leaves and logs.

I even caught a pair breeding in a minnow trap once and let them go.
