whoops

I decided to go check out fauna classifieds, big mistake. I'm heavily considering ordering a gorgeous garden phase atb and a young frilled dragon, I know I shouldn't, but argh!

[Rogue628]

I know right? lol I can no longer look there or ks. And I try real hard not to look in the for sale or adoption areas on the forums. I'm a sucker for giving snakes a new home lol

Craigslist is worse because they are usually within driving distance. :D

Totally agree! I had to stop looking on CL because I ran out of room

What do you mean by garden phase?

[snake man12]

It pretty much means normal because most are garden phase

[youngster]

It's a phase of ATBs, like a morph. It's kinda greenish brown I think.

“Garden phase” is a phrase used interchangeably with any variation of the Amazon tree boa (Corallus hortulanus) not primarily yellow, orange or red. These attractively camouflaged snakes represent roughly 90 to 95 percent of those imported from Suriname and Guyana.

My wife is afraid of my atb. Well I am too. He is kinda mean and randomly strikes the glass as you go by. So I have to get rid of him soon. I was told it was a garden.

[snake man12]

Make sure he goes to a good home

[youngster]

ATBs are like GTPs, usually they are a display herp rather than one you'd interact with lots.

[alessia55]

ATBs and ETBs and any of those tree boas and pythons are the only non-venomous snake I'm "afraid" of (basically keep my distance). I really don't like those large fangs and big teeth getting into my skin :no:

[Will0W783]

They don't hurt that badly really. And not all are nippy. My two emeralds have never struck at me in 3 years.

[youngster]

What would you compare it to Kim?

[KORBIN5895]

Mine is around 6 ft long. So lets just say no matter where I hold him he can reach my face. Idc if he bites my hand or arm it is my face I worry about. Now when I get him out(about twice a week) I can tell if it is going to be a head hold session or not. Some times he comes out in a good mood and some times he puts on his angry eyes!

you gotta love frilled dragons mate

they are like wee mini dinasuars and the way they run just cracks me up everytime

would love to see pictures once you get it please

my mates frilly runs full pelt everywhere,it only stops when it runs straight into a wall.it still hasn't worked out that it can't run right through them

it also runs upstairs from from his living room to the second floor in his house,its an amazing sight to see :bouncy:

cheers shaun

the frilled dragon and its siblings are listed at 60 ea, that's a fantastic price for them and they're eating and healthy. Maybe after Christmas...
The ATB has these awesome red-ish orange markings on its back. I've sent an email asking about the availability, I'll order him tomorrow if he's still available.
Craigslist around here seldom has interesting species, mostly normal balls and corns which don't really interest me much.

[ZARADOZIA]

Craigslist here use to be good. In the past year it has been overrun with domestic animals from animal rescues. So few reptiles now days :(

[alessia55]

They don't hurt that badly really. And not all are nippy. My two emeralds have never struck at me in 3 years.

Well, Kim's tree boas I'm OK with. I got pretty close to take some photos and I saw her touch one of their faces and it didn't mind so maybe that's the only one I like :p All others are on my no-no list

[KORBIN5895]

Our Craigslist reptile spot is empty.
