      ina THAT is really great AND proves you are a GREAT potential pet owner! No shame in saying, “ Wonderful Animal BUT not for me”. I am an older lady who adores animals and could afford different ones. I have to say, “ Heh, how great, but not for me “. Good for you!

      @@TeeTee123-u4i I agree! Being able to look at a really cool animal that you'd love to have, but recognize that (at least for the time being) you can't offer the care it needs and thus don't get it, is what shows a good keeper! At the last reptile show I went to, I fell in love with a baby burmese python, but I definitely wouldn't have been able to offer the kind of care that a snake that gets so large would need, and thus I didn't get her! Eventually I'd love to own a burmie, but right now definitely isn't the right time.

      @@papyrusthegreat457 eag eating snakes are cool and probably one of the best snakes you could keep. Drowbacks? when they are small they require very small eggs that you cant buy in most places and you probably will have to contact some canary owner, BUT that wont be a problem if you buy an adult. They are quite good with handling and have rather simple care overall. Eggs can be a pain in the ass if you buy a male (they are smaller) or juvenile eag eating snake, but if you buy adult female, its one of the best snakes EVER in my opinion.

THAT is no joke that was the exact set up! oh and no heat lamp (so hight temps...well i didnt see that) fed him nothing but earthworms and mealworms and it thrived for like ten years. oh and it was wild caught too. These are very very hardy lizards. His however would not hold still and would run around the tank if you tried to hold it.

    Tail like a crocodile, body similar to a monitor and the head of a euromastyx? At least that's what I see. Really kool
