what is everybodys favorite larg reptile? I am only into snakes and veranids I love crocodilians but I have no room to house the larger species so I stick with larg constrictors witch are a bit easier to deal with. So any way hook me up with some pic's and your oppinions or advice on the animal you choose I know a few things about a few animals but the best of the best will alwase say they know nothing so I only know what works with the animals I have and I would like to here your tricks and tips that you us for your animals.

I have
2 boas
1 leo gecko (snake lady's)
and 2 retic's on there way

This is not a thread to tell me not to get these animals. I have had a pasion for these animals all my life all I do is look at other ppl's animals and at books. I am 20 and I dont want to die B4 my animals do. So I am starting my collection now and most of my stock will be babys or first year juvaniels.
I am reciving my retics and then envesting in there Adult cages witch will be ready in 2-4 monts my brother in law is a mill-right so all my construction stuff is all free all I need to do is get the material. Plus I am including 2 cage setup's for my future rock python pair that I will start looking for at the end of the summer and that will be all for the first year but after that I dont know what to get next so i want to get oppinions and start planing my cage set up's I might get a pair of nile's but lets see what you can send my way(pic's).

Thanx for reading.

I keep all my snakes together for the first year it is easyer and I can observe them alot and see what they do hide more climb more like basking in difrent places so I can custom build a cage for each one then I keep the male in a cage slightly smaler then the female so when breeding time comes around the male will be all over the femals cage and get her reved up and I leave them like that for a week and cross my fingers and hope for the best.

My regulars will only breed once thow cause there is to many regulars in rescues but i need the cash to be able to get the more $$$ demanding animals if I had money I would get a albino dwarf retic from the get go but i dont so i need to start from the botem like every one eles but will never breed burms of any sort other then lab and albino lab cause there is not alot in canada.

ya realy that is my dream too but they can range from 650$ to 1000$ canadian that is why I can't have any yet. My G/F sais that until my animals are paying for them selves I cant pay that kind of cash for any of them like a vet bill would be difrent but just to buy the thing no way will it get in the door.
I have never worked with chondros YET they are just my dream snake for now so I can't tell you what would be a beter choise I say any one as long as it is solid green i love those ones.
