Anyone have any pet reptiles?

[glowdotGlock]

I have in the last few months gotten into reptiles. About 2 years ago I bought a Blue Tongue Skink. Skinks are gentle lizards and easy to take care of. When my fiance and I started dating, she got attached to the lizard which I named Marlin. So a couple months ago we found her a juvenile blue tongue skink and I bought it for her. Then I got a couple snakes but my collection ends there. So we've got 2 Blue Tongues and 2 snakes. The adult snake is a ghost stripe corn snake and the young one is a Pueblan Milk Snake. I never thought I would have them as pets but I have become attached to them. The Skinks love to be held and will sit on your lap for hours and they really do develop a personality. Anyone else have any reptiles or unusual pets?

2 Corn Snakes (1 Anerythristic, 1 Regular), 1 California Kingsnake, 1 Ball Python, 1 Sonoran Gopher Snake, and 1 Kenyan Sand Boa. Too many. I'm probably going to downsize to just the 2 Corns. Snakes make great pets really. They're low maintenance. Heck you could even skip feeding them for a couple months and they'd be perfectly ok as long as they have fresh water to drink.

I use to have a Nigerian uromastyx 4 crested geckos lavender harlequin, flame, harlequin, and a Orange, two leopard geckos one rain water and one Mack snow, a emperor scorpion, and a pastel ball. But since moving here to TN I had to scale down due to room. So now I have the pastel. When I move I hope to have a dart frog tank and a biak gtp

I have a red-eared slider that is about 2yrs old now, named Olive. We rescued her from some of my wife's cousins who left her out on a deck in a glass jar to roast in the summer heat. She was about the size of a silver dollar when we got her, and now her shell is easily 6" front to back. She will eventually reach around 12". I've grown attached to her, she begs for food and will follow my finger around the tank.

skinks are awesome do you feed it cat food if not did you know you can?

[glowdotGlock]

I have fed my adult one cat food. I am pretty strict with their diet though. On Sundays I feed the Skinks and snakes a thawed mouse. From pinkies to adult. On Wednesday I feed the Skinks some greens like spinach or collard greens.
