Re: check out this INSANITY
I used to know a guy who let his retic free roam, what a mess, that thing pooped anywhere it happened to be when the urge hit...
Imagine coming out of your bedroom and stepping in a gallon of reptile feces.. YUK

no way to regulate or enforce...
we certainly don't want the government putting "security cams" in our homes.

Re: check out this INSANITY
=/ I'll let my Python Blue roam around for short periods of time, normally while doing a fast tidy/clean of her viv. But never for very long, and she never goes anywhere fast. I'd never let any of my other guys roam around, and expecially never for a long period of time.

Re: check out this INSANITY
we do let Chomper roam the house, only under strict supervision, and only for an hour or two at a time.
He is a good boy, always craps on the linoleum kitchen floor, easy clean up.. in reality, easier to clean up than his cage, and I think he refrains from going in his cage, it stinks, so (I think) he intentionally waits until he's out to do it.

lets face it mate you wouldn't hunker up in the corner of your bedroom and drop one now would you 
can't blame chomper for waiting on your kitchen floor
if i had a chomper i would be tempted to let him out in the house under strict supervision he's very cute but i'm thinking he's also a bit destructive ?
cheers shaun

Re: Ever let your reptiles roam the house?
Allot of people take their herps out for periods of time and that's fine as long as the herp is supervised. I cant see any reason to let them free roam forever.
I'm not saying this is even remotely possible, but lets say your friends retic was litter trained, and always peed/pood in a cat litter, what happens if you step on him getting out of bed. Your either getting bitten, or you just possibly hurt the snake.

Re: Ever let your reptiles roam the house?
Wolfus roamed the house once, when he escaped from his home in the middle of the night. he destroyed crystal vases, potted plants and pictures and a lamp. I think that was enough. :P
We used to put our beardie on a halter and walk him across the field and back once a summer at the cottage, he loved watching the grasshoppers jump!

He's destructive from curiosity, he HAS to see what is behind this or under that, so he just starts knocking things over having a look.

Re: Ever let your reptiles roam the house?
Scarlett gets so darn active during the day, I regularly let her out to roam the room she's in for an hour or so. I leave her unsupervised, but I also make sure she can't get into anything she shouldn't. She seems to enjoy it, although she pooped right on my pillow the other day!
Kimo will be allowed to free roam A LOT when he matures. His enclosure will be left open, so he will always have the choice to get to his basking spot, etc. Tegu's can free roam pretty successfully, as they are intelligent enough to return to their house when needed.

Re: Ever let your reptiles roam the house?
Out of all the animals I have in my home the only one that roams "free" is my cat. Though even she is restricted from my own and my son's bedroom (allergies+bed full of cat fur don't mix). My beardie usually gets placed on a table or desk when I clean out his home, or days that he is overly active. My hoggie is far to rambunctious and small to be let out of my sight or hands. My rats do have roam of my 2 couches and adjoining tables quite quite often. My dogs have to stay in the same room as me.
I don't like the idea of animals just roaming the house. To many things that can hurt them, to many things they can hurt. A snake can't be taught to not knock over everything or get stuck somewhere and get electrocuted.

Re: Ever let your reptiles roam the house?
Cats and dog are the only free runners in our house, all reptiles are given supervised handling time but not allowed to free roam, guinea pigs and hamster are the same. Cockroaches definitely not allowed free roaming time!!!
