It's too bad BPs don't cohabitate well. If you had a garter snake, you could easily accumulate two or three and still fly under the radar

It is fun to think about sneaking critters in, even if you have no intentions of doing so. Lately I've been thinking about what it would take to keep a tegu secret from my roommate. I can't afford the upkeep for one, so it's not something I'm actually considering, but it's fun to think about. A tegu in particular would be quite a complicated issue, with their complicated needs and rapid growth.

Hate to burst the bubble of successful sneaking stories here but mine didnt end so well... My mom always hated reptiled of all sorts but most of all snakes. She still wont come in my living room today because of my collection. When I was around 14 or 15 I knew I didnt have a chance of keeping a snake but thought I'd try my luck with a lizard. So I went to super pet and got a baby green iggy (I know now not a good species to try to keep hidden long term). After having it in an enclosure in my closet for about 2 months I decided to make the introduction. Well it didnt go as I had hoped. She didnt sleep at all that night just knowing it was in the house. Needless to say It was returned to the store the next day.

That would be interesting to see XD

I've been thinking about the gags and I had the idea that I can hide it in the closet lol unfortunately I wouldn't be able to have a day night cycle:/ my mom is worse with snakes and she's dealing with it well
