[claycoke11]

Just because you have lots shouldn't make you the king because someone with money could go buy every kind of lizard not take care of them but you call them the king I think if you have one lizard and take good care of him your the king.

nice gecko collection!!

[sapphire_moon]

I do have a question, who has the most PET lizards, Not breeders. So if you breed, but some of your breeders are pets count those.

And for the breeders, do you still have PET herps, that you just sit back and enjoy, you don't breed them, or intend to breed them, you don't want to trade them, you just enjoy them.

[NiagaraReptiles]

I've never really thought about drawing a line between pet and breeder........
For my personal opinion, I don't think reptiles are pets anyway. Dogs and cats are pets, but for the purpose of this reply I will use "pet" in the same sense.
Why can't "pets" be breeders? That's actually how my interest in breeding started, and I truly enjoy all of the animals that I keep, that is why I keep them.

Best wishes,

JonK

[sapphire_moon]

but some breeders do trades and things like that. That is what I mean, which of your snakes do you not breed, not trade, just sit back and like to look at without worring about putting it into cooling time, and worring if it is the right weight to breed.

[BurmGuy87]

Wow those are alot lizards!

I plan on getting a beardie or leo gecko soon haha

[Bartman]

I agree niagra, i cant put a line between breeders and pets...like i said maybe i shoulda asked who has the most species of lizards...

[sketchy4]

i dont know about lizards but id say either Invictus or TheRedDragon have the most herps on their hands lol.

[sketchy4]

just ignore that post ^^ :rolleyes:

In all honesty, I feel sorry for reptiles that don't have the chance to reproduce in captivity. Mind you, there are some that I don't think should be as available as they are (ie; Burms, Green Iguanas), but on the same note, their life goal is to bring into the world another generation. This is what reptiles do, and I allow mine to do just that. This could branch into a rather large discussion with exceptions dependant on species, etc. but I won't get into specifics here.
I don't work with animals that I don't have a passion for. That is not what I want Niagara Reptiles to be either, and I think this helps me be a better "breeder" (I dislike that term, I'm just a custodian). I spend hours watching and interacting with all of the reptiles (and others) that I keep, and I truely enjoy them all. I also really enjoy seeing their progeny come into the world and usually I wait far too long to even try to find them new homes. I just love having them around. Maybe other breeders don't share my views, but that isn't really the topic here.

I guess that's all for now........ :)
