As of now I have 4 herps. I live in a dorm at college so my options and amount of animals are quite limited. I have an eastern hognose, western hognose, and 2 african bullfrogs. As soon as I get out of here, I am going to go herp crazy. Get another chondro, maybe a yellow 'conda, and it isn't herp related, but I am also thinking of a ferret...

I have kept much more in the past. At some points in highschool I was up to ~30ish animals. Chondro, whitelip, racers, rough greens, waters, rats, ringnecks, hognose, Pituophis, corals, copperheads, etc.

Crotaphytuskidd Oct 17, 2004 04:12 PM

Hey guys,

I was up to about 30 herps also back in high school, and when I get out, I too will go herp crazy. In addition to what I have now, I used to keep

1.2 Mojave Collared Lizards
0.1 Leopard Lizard
1.1 Chuckwallas
2.1 Desert iguanas
1.2 Desert Horned Lizards
1.1 Desert Spiny Lizards
0.1.2 Zebra-Tail Lizards
0.1 Long-tailed Brush lizard
1.0 Bearded dragon

As you can see, I really enjoy native desert lizards. I just don't have the time to keep up with them right now. the reason I don't have most of the larger species is actually quite sad. I kept them all in a 12'x6'x2' pen with my Desert Tortoise. The Tortoise liked to dig burrows, which the lizards hibernated in, and one day after a rain, the burrow had caved in leaving all the lizards with a plan of escape. I guess the good thing about it is they only had about two miles to go to find their old homes. heh. Live and learn. Thought I'd share.
Hope to talk soon,

-Phil

nice collection guys. i was breeding veild chameleons when i was 10 and i was breeding beardies and leo's by 11 then i changed to all big snakes (pythons). but this will be my first year produceing i should have 4 clutches.

Spoony Oct 18, 2004 04:44 PM

I'm 15, and jobless so I don't have as much as I wish I did.
I've got a corn snake, a male and female western hoggie, a brown anole which I took from my friend who was keeping bad care of it and keeping it with some salamanders she caught, and a pacman frog.
Over the summer I had also kept a couple garters and a ton of gray tree frogs for short amounts of time.

For other pets, I have two chinchillas, two hedgehogs, 2 cats, and three dogs.

I'm going to the New england herp show this weekend, hopefully not coming back empty handed.

Thats about it.
