View Full Version : Who many reptiles did you used to have
please list how many reptiles you used to have then post about what happend to them if you want....I used to have a rat snake we name him I's since the pattern look like he had a bunch a i going do its back then i got away ...we got it from a pet store in wisconisn dells...that one exotic reptile store that baby used to live in...then i had a leoperd gecko but it had a calcium problem so i got it a seperat cage and it some how got out, she was doing better but then it just got away...Then i had a red tail ,which died since my dad cleaned the tank with CRL, then he didnt rinse it out good enough so it became DEAD:(
Does that include animals that u have aquaride and sold .. liek trades and such! That could take days for many pl her lol!
Pet wise .. I ad a 13 foot burmese python a while ago .. after being in my car for a year she passed away of a serious resperitory infection ... when i aquired her (free more of a rescue) .. I don't think I coould rescue many more animals now .. its hard when u put so much tiem into the.. and the past away anyway ..
Hmm a water monitor - i was simply a temporary home until I found a better place .. hmm a spectacle caimen but decided to sell him as i know I could not keep it as an adult..
and a couple others but none that I would consider pets .. they'd be simply animals I aquaried through trades or such that i had no intentions on keepindg so were just resold..

I took care of some Gecko's for a neighbor for two months when they went away.

I have only had one pictus gecko get away so far (knocks on wood) and I think my cat ate it. Other then that I still have my original lizards.
Gosh, I couldn't begin to list! I've been doing rescue on and off since 1978 and have unfortunately lost literally hundreds of animals. Here are some of my pets that I miss, though:
Captain Crunch, an ornate horned frog, died at 26 years of age. Cause unknown but at that age it would have been disrespectful to necropsy rather than giving my longtime friend and first herp ever a wake and a decent burial.
Bump, a White's tree frog, 7 years old. She was rescued from a Pet____ chain. Was so dehydrated that her left front and right rear legs stuck to the glass and separated at the knee so she was a double amputee. Died from obesity-related liver problems, probably a result of not getting enough exercise. She gave me about a gazillion tadpoles, may she rest in peace. The other rescues from the same cage, Lump and Grind have also passed on but at much younger ages.
Vera, a hatchling bearded dragon, was born with an optic nerve tumor and lived to be 4 months old. She was donated to a vet school for genetics testing and perhaps a great deal may be learned from her.
Ralph, Alice, Ed, Trixie, Lucy, Ethel, Ricky, Fred, Amos, Andy, Martin, Lewis, Larry, Moe and Curly the African Dwarf Frogs. Some were escapes, Ralph got a fungal infection and most of the others were just old.
Zither, eastern ribbon snake, escaped and was never found.
Ruby and Jack, red-eyed tree frogs. Lost to excessive heat during a power outtage.
Mork and Ork, juvenile bamboo tree frogs. Unknown cause. They were so beautiful.
Flick, a blue-phase White's tree frog. Jumped out of cage right towards Buster the cat and never stood a chance.

Quite a few. It hurts my head to think about it.

Back in the summer I had over 300 pythons and boas. Now, I'm down to around 200 and that should fall to around 175 within the next month or so........only to go back up when all the hatchlings arrive in the summer again.
