I've got one amazing ACF escape story.. Oh night, my dog got out of bed and started sniffing madly. I couldn't get him to come back so I got up and there he was.. a little acf gone on adventure. Just as we get him back in the tank, we noticed his brother was hopping around the living room.

We were lucky, they both survived and thrived but luckily we haven't problems again.

Oh man. I figured you had a lid! Yeah these guys love to get out. My albino ACF some how got through a less than 1/2 inch gap in my glass lid (I've since covered it with tape). I tore my tank apart looking for the little guy and I found him under my lazy boy looking all sad.

He took a good 4 foot fall and is doing just fine, these are truly the cockroaches of the amphibian world lol..

I once had a python who was an escape artist. He wasn't mine, exactly--he belonged to a roommate, but we all took care of him. He was an enormous snake--I could barely hold him up when he was wrapped around my shoulders and waist. I can't even hazard a guess as to how much he weighed.

One day we're all chillin' in the living room, watching tv, drinking beers like college kids do, and we hear *thumpTHUMPthumpitythumpTHUMP*.

Turns out Corona had escaped from his giant tank and decided to go for a slither. Somehow, in a very ungraceful and unsnakelike manner, he managed to fall down the stairs.

On another occasion we found him wrapped up in a huge fake tree that resided in the living room.

There was a baby albino python in the house, too. I used to wear him to lecture on warm days. He liked being a bracelet and a hair accessory the most.

We had a cornsnake escape on us when we lived in another house. I was in the next room and all of a sudden I hear my wife call me in that shrill emergency voice. I ran into the room to see the juvie corn wrapped around our cockatiel bird in it's cage. I hurridly unwrapped the juvie by the tail and the bird was fine, albeit a bit shaken up.

Before I met my wife, I had my ball python at my girlfriend's apt, and he decided to play houdini. Unfortunately she had to leave that weekend due to the lease being up. I always wondered what happened to that snake...and the new leasers who may have found that 4 foot long thang in their apt!

More ACF shenanigans...

I use to own and bred bearded dragons, 2 boas, 1 rhino iguana and a savannah monitor. Ended up moving to Italy and could not import them there. Everyone but the dragons went to my trusted local pet store. The dragons went to a friend in Florida.

Also had a two headed bearded dragon hatch but only lived for 4 days. I couldn't get it to eat


All but 2 bearded dragons died He thought keeping them in natural sunlight is good for them. FORGOT that black plastic bins absorb lots of heat and poof.

I did not name them!


Miss Fiona RIP VERY Proud of this one.




Mr Joose, not sure what happen to him. Last I heard he had a parasite and he wouldn't take to a vet.




This big head is Ghost Face Killa RIP



Little Miss Sick Girl, She was sickly for 6 months couldn't get her to eat or anything then things turned around!




Boa#1 I tend not to name my pets lol


Boa#2


Bob the Savannah!


Rhino Iguana

Your redtails are beautiful as is the savannah. Are those beardies sandfire?

[nyxkitten]

Joose is a jemfire red/cawley red/orange.
His daddy

His mommy


Fiona is 50% Citrus and 50% Red. Sister to Bricky of Draggin Tails Inc in Florida.
Her daddy

Her mommy (sorry bad picture. It's really small :-/)

Her sister Bricky



Sick girl is a red by G&M dragons of California. I guess they are claiming their own red.

The two headed is citrus and ghost face is a normal.

I had some Dragon's Den sand fire but didn't like them. They didn't color up very well after 3 months so traded them for Sick Girl.

Yay! A reptile sub-forum - look at all those beautiful beardies! I have 2 leopard geckos, Aragorn and Arwen, and a bearded dragon named Zelda. I don't have many pics of the geckos, but they look like leopard geckos and here's a pic of Zelda on my Australian Shepherd Dusty. They're both Australian, I figured, so why not? No beardies or dogs were harmed in creating this picture.

I've had blue-tongued skinks (my girl had 3 babies - live babies - they don't lay eggs - just running around the cage one day), leaf-tailed geckos (so very cool, they bred too), and veiled chameleons, but I'd have to say the beardie is my favorite

40 gallon Vivarium

My 15 year old(well I've owned him for 15 years who know how old he is) Japanese fire belly newt Cynops pyrrhogaster.

[Soothing Shrimp]

He looks well fed. How big is he?

[seandelevan]

About 5 inches. Has been that size since I got him. Eats blood worms maybe once a week. The tank is so established I think he finds other critters to snack on in between meals.

[Soothing Shrimp]

Have you gotten them to breed?
