Ive got, 1 normal burmese, 1 albino burmese, 8 Royal Pythons, 18ish Corn Snakes, 2 Bosc monitors, 4 bearded dragons, 2 water dragons, 11 boas of various guises, a millipede thing, pair of hissing madagascan cockroaches and 2 imperial scorps also had 3 tarantulas but they've gone to the pet shop now... Aswel as keeping them we often get reps in from the local pet shop to get eating, nurse back to health!

 

Thats some collection Ballybricken, do you breed many ?

 

Had two royals in the past and loved them, would like another maybe.

One of the staff from "Bohol-tropics" resort in Tagbilaran with a few Tarsiers Maty,I think the one my wife got she paid the equivalent of 40 pence for in a market-place,a firewood seller found a nest when felling trees,London Zoo dont even have a pair in their twilight house they are so endangered,but you can still buy them if you put the word around your looking for one.

Now and again I breed not to often though, not always guaranteed homes for the baby reps. And not keen on selling them to the pet shop as they take the piss .. buy baby corns for 12-15 quid a time and then sell them on for £80! Plus the 2 shops around here don't 'care' for them aswel as I'd like! About 2 months ago we were given 2 severely emancipated young royal pythons both had been kept in the shop for a few weeks and neither had ate and by the way they reacted when put infront of a water bowl I don't think they'd seen fresh water in days! One pulled through the smaller one unfortunately died shortly after we took them in!

 

Them Tarsiers are weird looking little things kinda cool in there own little way!

Tarsiers are incredible bally,I know a guy who keeps around a dozen in his house,all live in a nest box on the wall,very easy to tame,nocturnal though,I used to hand-feed them cockroaches and crickets,awesome little creatures :victory: I dont know any in the UK,they are only found in 3 or four places in the world :)

Well, I've had a few "pets" that aren't exactly exotic, but not everyone has one!

 

Obviously the fox in my avatar, that was "Tip" had her from about 24 hours old and raised her on lactol. The most amazing little creature. Taught me so much about foxes. Got slated for mentioning her on here before now, but hey...

 

Had a badger, an old boy found wandering around during the day. He was starving due to having virtually no teeth left. He loved jam sandwiches best of all!! Used him for thet TV programme "Down To Earth" with Ricky Tomlinson, and a couple of other things.

 

Had lots of other wild animals that needed a bit of a hand, but those two were the most exciting.
