Most old salts have a parrot to sit on there shoulder.. I have my gecko, she’s not happy until she gets to her perch.. lol. She also loves to watch my tanks but I think she may be a little jealous of the attention they get.

Sunglows are really nice love the colors.. ours has really colored up since we got her, she’s about a year old now but when she was a baby she was very pale.. A good friend of ours breeds them and I happened to run into him at a reptile trade show she was on his table, I had zero intentions of buying a gecko but one look at those big blue eyes and she stole my heart.. lol! I can’t believe how clean, smart and sociable she is reminds me of a cat or dog.. she’s my first leopard but I had a Madagascar day gecko that was beautiful but zero social skills and messy I also had a 55 gallon terrarium full of green lizards and tree frogs many years ago and they where a nasty mess and basically just specimens for observation.

I also have a Bearded Dragon.....and a Mangrove Monitor on the way.......have always liked a lot of the Geckos though.

Mangroves get huge don’t they.. like 3 or 4 feet? ;Wideyed

Yeah, they normally get about 4 feet.....which is actually on the smaller size from Monitors that I have kept in the past, like Nile or Argus, which can get between 5-7 feet. Wanted to try something a little smaller ;)
 
He/she is cool...their colors are incredible. Just picked up this little guy.........

It’s a she, I checked.. :p

Love your new mangrove, not going to fit in that cup very long.. lol
 
I will have to dig up the pictures, but I had a bearded dragon for 12 years. He passed away of old age. I absolutely loved that little guy. His name was Kratos. After he passed away is when I got into reefing

Actually went a different direction....my original Mangrove ended up going to a friend. This guy is a Black Roughneck Monitor...similar care/enviroment but gets slightly bigger.

Yeah, they are great lizards.....I have one of those too lol. I have way too many animals :)
 
I’ve had to give up on the reptiles for a while per the wife. Even though she likes snakes she was a little iffy with our son when he was born. At my high I had 37 snakes with 19 breeders.

Those are some sweet looking Boas......I never got into keeping snakes as much as and adult (plenty growing up :)) but I did have a Red Tail and a Common Ball Python. Were you selling online or breeding just for fun?

Beautiful snakes! I kept a Brazilian Rainbow Boa. Absolutely gorgeous snake if you've never seen one.
