I keep and breed Reptiles. Its has been something I have done since I was very young. I just love the colors and fun I have working with such a cool exotic/local herp.

I just sold some offspring and upgraded my color palette today in the reptile room with the addition of some panther chameleons.
(My Covid19 Stress Relief Viewing)

I also love sharing this hobby with my kiddos. Two of the three love when its hatching season. As seen with my at the time 5 year old daughter holding an albino carpet while peaking out of the egg lol

Hahaha why not. I even love field herping. Fell into a nice find while I was scouting some public land near me before the Covid outbreak. Found 7 spotted turtles which in our area are endangered and they where all within four feet of each other.

Have had multiple reptiles over the years. Turtles, Skinks, Anoles, Leopard Gecko, Crested Gecko, Ball Python. Ball Python died recently. So no reptiles currently.

Yeah he is cool. The only downside to having them for pets is that they have a short life span.

Rescued this little guy a few years back. He got wrapped up in the kids batting cage mesh. I've kept raccoons growing up always wanted a possum or even a skunk back then as well but never happened.

Quite a menagerie you have there!

I have kept snakes, turtles, and lizards since I was a little lad.

I am down to a couple of ball pythons and a albino x anerythristc x white-sided bull snake. With my kids nearly out of the house, I am looking forward to empty nest syndrome and less responsibility at home

At one time I was maintaining a breeding collection of 200 plus animals and hatching out about the same. From Western Hognose to Carpet pythons thus the handle which is my old Reptiles hobby sales name. Had to get rid of it all for Uncle Sam and my wife sanity in case we got spun up for some sand box fun.

We have two crested gecko's right now, they are probably only about a 1.5 yrs. Kids love them but the wife only likes them through the glass...lol

How about a few pictures?
The Liger I like.
But as the song goes,
I don't like spiders and snakes..
My nephew had an iguana in their house and I could smell it from the front door.
