In your dreams
What is your dream reptile that you currently do not/cannot own for any reason. I have a few. Post pictures too!
Black throat monitor: I don't currently have the space or experience for this animal
Leucistic Retic: Don't have the space/experience/money for this animal
Gaboon Viper: Don't have the experience for this animal and they are not legal to own in my state.

Re: In your dreams
I almost have the makings for the blue eyed Lucy's, so one day I will have one, sooooo exciting!!
I am planning in the next couple of years to acquire the following BP's:
1) Enchi
2) Champangne
3) Super Cinny
4) Ultra-amel
5) Piebald
for my corns, I really badly want to find a sunkissed, but am having a really hard time in doing so. And the one corn I desperately want but simply cannot afford anywhere in the near future is a Palmetto!!

Re: In your dreams

Re: In your dreams
The pic of the lucy retic is a ball python like sublime said. Anyways, I have a long list of species, most of them are monitors because space and the ability to construct an appropriate enclosure is one of the major issues, the other one is lots of cool stuff in aus will never show up on our side of the pond.
The last one is O. cataphractus which I could probably get, but I'm not ready to spend that kinda $$ atm haha

They always are. My jamp girl just ate a pound and a half rabbit 2 days ago and is already looking for food.
They do look similar, the heat pits were the instant giveaway for me.

Re: In your dreams
1. Eastern Indigo- Money.
2. Russian Ratsnake- Lack of availability.
3. Gecko of some sort- Time and money (for a planted viv).
4. Blue-tongue Skink- Time, money, space.
^^^These will all happen with time.
5. Any viper species- I'm too much of a wienie to own something that can lay me out for good.

Re: In your dreams
Ladywraith, geckos are easy 
Planted vivs can be thrown together in an afternoon, and you can get lots of cheap species that make great vivarium inhabitants. You could grab a few mourning geckos, and hatch the eggs in-situ (you will get eggs no matter what). And they feed all together like an african watering hole during the drought season haha.
Anyways, some pics of species I want, being more specific.
O. cataphractus - Lack of funds (3-4k on a pair), Lack of husbandry info, none being exported from SA anymore.
P. rugosus - Mimick scorpion behavior.. I just haven't bought them yet...
V. cumingi - Housing would be an issue, funds as well...
.jpg)
Too lazy to get more pics and I could go all day, but V. pilbarensis and Boelens pythons as well.

Re: In your dreams
1. Banana Ball (got to hold one an an expo  )
2. Leucistic CRB (got to see one at an expo )
3. Mystic potion (absolutely mesmerizing!)
4. Monarch Ball (beautiful, yet completely forever out of my price range!)
5. Tegu monitor (would never have the room, even though we have a HUGE home, just no place in it suitable for a large enough enclosure..)

I want a Mystic Potion too, lucky for me, I just have to wait for a couple of my younger BP's to grow up and then I WILL get one!!
