What kind of pets do you have? (page 3)

Hi Terri, We used to have an anole my kids caught in Florida. He got pretty friendly, but it took about a year. He would eat mealworms out of our hands! I really love the green ones! Godzilla was just a standard. The long tailed ones are really awesome, though. I might get one long tailed and one green. They are in the same aquarium at Pet Smart. I was planning on doing a terrarium-hmmm, maybe he wouldn't notice them in amongst all the greenery:) We are trying to butter the landlord up right now by paying our rent ahead. His daughter told us we are the only tenants who have EVER done that, so maybe... I plan to buy an under the tank heater, in addition to the heat rock we already have. Our other guy got kind of cold:( We're pretty sure he died of old age, though. We had him about three years, and he was full grown when we got him. Right now, I'm just trying to be content with my anole candle stick holders, and resisting the temptation to name them, lol.

You Lizard Lover you!!! LOL! Actually, back in '86, we went to Hawaii, and everything was covered with lizards.............you know, those Geckos? They had 'em in those neon colors on the t-shirts and with sunglasses, etc. I fell in LOVE seriously with them! I would have loved a gecko, but, I heard they bite and really don't get friendly. Boy, I'm glad yours responded so well to you. Another real charmer in the lizard family are the chameleons! I would absolutely LOVE one of those! They had one at the pet store one time, he looked like a mini-dinosaur with the horns and everything! They wanted over $100.00 for him at that time, a little too rich for MY blood! One time when I was vacationing in South Carolina, they had one of those outside showers where you can go to rinse off the sand after the beach, and I was happily splashing around, and up in the corner of the roof area I see a bright green lizard looking at me!

LOL at Carmel...." one wife"

I have a beautiful, gentle black lab named Lady. She thinks she is one of the children, and is the only "family member " to have brown eyes like me....She is better behaved than the children.

Yep-full blown lizard lover here, lol. I think I was smitten when I was living in the Philipines. I don't remember much about living there-I was only two. I do remember the lizards that "stuck" to the ceiling, though.

Geckos are definitely grouchy. I talked to the owner of a pet store about them, and she said she hated to clean their cages.

My sister has an iguana, but I find them a little big and a bit touchy. My sis got slapped by hers when she tried to get her out to clean her tank. I guess they can really whip ya with their tails. I prefer a smaller lizard, thank you:)

Have you ever heard of a Chinese Water Dragon? They are very pretty, but get to be five feet long when full grown.
