Adorable. Thanks for skink info. They’re charming.

I visit Bearded Dragons in the pet store frequently. But alas, AndyMan the cat would make quick work of them. They have nice personalities. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/pets/beardeddragon.htm

When my daughter was 7, she fell in love with a tiny green lizard
I bought it, with a pricey “Lizard Lodge,” and tended it well. One night, when the kids were asleep, I turned on the radiator. Poor lizard looked cold, so I put his Lodge on the radiator—and fried him. OH THE SCREAMING and parental guilt. Next day, a new lizard…it lived on and on until it turned almost black…took one footstep a day. No way I’d declare it dead. Then my sis came over and scooped it out of it’s lodge==”This thing is dead.!!!” and flushed him before I could stop her.

Daughter didn’t care so much this time, as long as her MOM wasn’t the guilty party.

When and if AndyMan goes to cat heaven, I may consider something slithery. Actually, I find Anacondas fascinating, but doubt they make good house pets. Plus, this grrrrl couldn’t go thru feeding anything live mice ‘n stuff.

To: Veto!; Salamander; All
If you/buy a snake, get a Red Corn snake..yes, their not fancy or exotic, but they
are very hardy and grow to 6'-8'. As salamander can tell you, large snakes require
large enclosures w/environments..special feeding requirement. I'm a lizard/skink guy.
Go local, if you can; here in KY, we have a small snake, called Ring-Necked snake..very nice/docile.
