So what is that one snake or lizard out there that you would love to own that you want in your collection? (Your Unicorn reptile that you just cant seem to get your hands on)

My one snake would be a hypo red bullsnake

Lizard would have to be a cute little red ackie (too pricey for me right now!)

Yeah monitors are a whole different game, don't start with an Argus if you get one, there equivalent of people on crack x10 lol. Water monitors are awesome I've had one but they take up an unbelievable amount of cage space for an adult.

An Eastern Indigo is the one critter I'd love to have.

yeah I don't plan on getting one until I've had a ton of reptiles (and a LOT of experience) XD I'm still on my first snake, as long as this year goes well with him, ill get a Hoggie next year.

Snake would be the hairy bush viper and lizard would be a gilla monster.

I will be adding 2 boas, 2 more BPs, and hopefully 2 yellow ackies and 2-4 red eyed crock skinks this year. Will se how finances pan out with the new house. =)

We have no room at the moment, although that may change. If it does I would dearly love a scrub python I've wanted one for such a long time. For a lizard I think it would be a panther chameleon

I just added a pied ball python, which has been at the top of my list for several years. A boelen`s python and an axanthic black tailed cribo are now on the top of my list but just locating them is not the only obstacle I would need to hurdle for those additions.

Asian water monitor or argentine tegu

Rainbow boa :) not enough experience/knowledge on them yet though. One day.

Rainbow boa or Western Hognose. I don't have the experience or space for the former or the permit (needed in Illinois) for the latter. When the time comes I if want a hoggy permits are free and not that difficult to acquire.

My top ten list changes week to week to week lol, all time #1 lizard is a bells lace monitor, gotta finish college first lol but I know of a local breeder who can hook me up :) #1 snake of all time is the gaboon viper

Wait... I take that back #1 lizard is the perentie but I hope that never happens... after the savannah monitor fiasco I shudder at the thought of such a majestic animal readily available in captivity :(

One of Derek Roddy's black headed pythons. Beautiful animals...

Out of interest why do people say they're not experienced enough for a rainbow boa? Their isn't difficult and there are not any handling concerns that you may get with a giant. Just got to keep the humidity up but other than that they're not a difficult or fussy snake to keep.

How much is a blackhead over where you guys each are? Around $200-$400 for one here, $1000 minimum for an axanthic.

Anyway, my wishlist has one name at the top. Well, two. OLIVE PYTHON & LEAF TAILED GECKO! AHHHHHHH!

No question #1 snake would be Atheris Haspida. For lizard Id like to replace my nile monitor once I have the space again.

That's because so few were exported before Australia shut down the export/import law.
