I love threads like these :3
(Not including any animal I already own)
1. Leachie gecko. Love em but can't afford a $500 animal right now.
2. Ringneck snake. Beautiful but fragile.
3. Woma Python. Always been a favorite.
4. Retic. Again, a favorite, but they're too big for me right now.
5. Northern Terrapin. Not much of a turtle person, but these babies are drop dead gorgeous. I could make an exception for them

Oh that's hard, I'll have to ponder this question lol.

Easy!

1. Lace Monitor. Favourite reptile.
2. Any species of giant softshell turtle.. not really around in captivity but awesome animals.
3. High contrast jungle carpet python. Look brilliant.
4. Some species of caiman
5. A group of sulcatas as more of a chilled contrast to all these huge predators

I'll play.

1. Dendroaspis polylepis
2. Deinagkistrodon acutus
3. Dispholidus typus
4. Gonionotophis capensis
5. Boa constrictor

I don't think I could ever do just 5....

However, I'll give this a shot. Not counting what I already have.

1. Alligator (or culivers dwarf caimen)
2. Abronia
3. Radiated tortoise
4. Hairy bush viper
5. Gilla monster

I will never be able to own any of these animals for several reasons. Mostly state laws and cost. Though the Abronias are coming down in rice lately so I may one day have one. =)

Pics below are in order of the list.

If I wasn't also able to keep what I already have:

1. Candy Stripe Brazilian rainbow boa
2. Argentine boa constrictor
3. Snow boa constrictor
4. Snow genetic stripe reticulated python
5. A really nice, pale Suriname boa constrictor with a bright tail

If I can keep what I already have:

1. Argentine boa constrictor
2. Candy Stripe Brazilian rainbow boa
3. Hypo Burmese python
4. A nice black and white diamond python, pure
5. Hog Island boa constrictor

The two lists are vastly different for good reasons. :P

1) Eastern Indigo
2) Nile Monitor
3) Hypo Red Bullsnake
4) BRB (BSG I checked out the candy stripes, those are absolutely beautiful!)
5) Caramel Jaguar Carpet Python

My IF's are pretty attainable, cost being the main deterrent in most. Mink it's interesting you mentioned the Gila monster. We have one up at the shelter that likes to chase my hand around when I change his water, not looking forward to getting gnawed on him hahaha. I'll try and snap some photos for you next week.

1. Either a BCC, BCO, BCL, or an IMG BCI
2. Asian Water monitor
3. Eastern diamondback rattlesnake
4. Cow retic
5. Asian Keeled Ratsnake or Western coachwhip

SnoopySnake · 01-02-16, 10:01 PM

Hmm..
1. Angolan Python
2. Bredli Python
3. Speckled Racer
4. Northern Eyelash Boa
5. Mochino Retic

I could go on with snakes.

For lizards/monitors I'd probably have to say..
1. Storr's monitor
2. Red Ackie
3. Blue Tree Monitor
4. Armadillo Girdled Lizard
5. Arboreal Alligator Lizard

I had no idea there were dwarf monitors! I love the monitor attitude but have been hesistant as they require so much space. The ackies and storr's look perfect. Hooray for this thread feeding my hopeless herp addiction

sirtalis · 01-02-16, 11:48 PM

My favorite part about threads like this is you learn about new unusual animals, for example, @minkness i've heard of abronias before but that blue/grey one is by far cooler than any i've seen before

**Minkness** · 01-03-16, 12:03 AM

Yeah, pulled that pic from a fauna sales add. I would want 1 blue and 1 green for sure. =)

jjhill001 · 01-03-16, 12:40 AM

Baird's Rat Snake
Caiman Lizard
Palmetto Corn Snake
One of those NERD mega tame Water Monitors
A BIG Northern Pine Snake

Sylphie · 01-03-16, 03:28 AM

Well... that's the list not including what I already am having:

1. Some scalaless baby, preferable corn snake (not sure on this one)
2. Low end pied ball python (I don't like the high end white ones with only colors on head).
3. Leucistic texas/black rat snake
4. Anery russian rat snake!
5. Blue Kunashir japanese rat snake

Well, there would be a lot of other species, but having recently adult taiwanese beauty I now know that I can't have anything bigger than 6,5ft, so I can't think about getting indigo, boa constrictor, etc
