I have two 6 foot red tail boas there extremely friendly never bit me once. I have two carpet pythons around 5 feet they are a bit skiddish and have tried to bite me more then once ones gotten me really good and didn't let go for about 5 minutes it was very bloody but it doesn't hurt that bad. I also have a green tree python just very small but extremely friendly which is very odd for that species I have two bearded dragons right now again very friendly. I have a ball python again never bit tin me ever, I have a Brazilian rainbow boa again super friendly, I have an Asian water monitor extremely aggressive but its just small, I have a Savannah monitor she very friendly was very aggressive when she was smaller. I have about 6 corn snakes there always good to keep, and bout 6 leopard geckos again there very docile and 18 Kendell's rock geckos some pet store gave them to me and 6 petre sand dune geckos there very small, 2 fishers chameleons they just sit in there tank I only take them out for cleaning because chameleons are easily stressed, also a black and white tegu great animal and two snieder skinks about the friendliest lizard ever he he and that's about it I think lol I feel reptiles are very fun and enjoyable to keep but also extremely expensive ohh and I keep them all in aquarium type tanks seperatly housed the chameleons have a chameleon tannk which is just with lots of screening for airflow and they all under tank heaters as well as ceramic heat emmiters and Uva and Uvb flouresent tubes and have tons of maintenance.. I'm only 20 years old and I feel my collection is not even close to completed yet..

I have an iguanna named Loogie. He is neat. And iguannas can be very friendly, but mine is a monster. I darn my "tuff" guy friends to pick him up and laugh aas they get hurt. I love it.

I have had an iguana and a snake, the iguana got to big for his cage, so he roamed the house free, the snake stayed in his cage most of the time we would let him out sometimes, and we fed him in a seperate thing than his cage. My iguana was very aggressive and mean, he protected the house better than my pit bull who was very scared of him. LOL People like reptiles for different reasons.

I have a green water dragon. I've had her for 2 years. She spends most of her time in a cage we built for her. When I get a chance and the cats aren't around I let her out. She loves too sit on a stand in front of the window and bask in the sun. I think she is a wonderful pet. She likes to be held and has only whipped me with her tail once, when I was putting her back in her cage and she wasn't ready yet.

I have a box turtle named Speedy and a leopard gecko named Diddy(Don't ask.).Diddy is usually pretty calm,I adopted him from my school about a month ago.He eats 6 crickets,3 times a week,and Speedy gets 10 crickets once a week.Speedy is really nervous,if I move too fast for him he hisses at me,but Diddy likes being taken out.I take them both out once every couple of days,and that's enough for them.I like reptiles,they're pretty cool,but I like lots of other animals too =)

I have 3 iguanas (8 yrs old and 5 feet long, 4 years old and 4 feet long, 6 months old and 9 inches long (no tail)) and 2 bearded dragons (7 years old and 1 1/2 feet long, 4 mo. old, don't know length). All of the iguanas have cages, but the oldest one, Ig Monster, free roams during the day; and goes into her cage to sleep. None of our reptiles are agressive. I love our iguanas, because they are rescues, they had tough lives before we got them, and i enjoy rehabing them and nursing them back to health. All of our lizards are held and touched daily, they all like it. Our largest ig is touchie, she doesnt like her head or tail touched, but she loves being pet on her sides.
