I have a large tank that contains Sid She is a Rat / Corn snake and she is about 5 foot long. She is a lovely placid creature

It only took me 10 years to persuade my Mrs to let me buy one. Now she is addicted to snakes too.

Some pics of Sid are here

If we're talking Terrariums as well, we have a 60 gallon tank with Mnementh (or Nemmie). He is a 6 year old Bearded Dragon.

((rep to whoever knows where the name comes from))

I'll have to get some pictures of the pets as well.

I updated the title just for you. LOL

I've always liked lizards, I had one for a few years when I was a kid. Bearded Dragons are very cool. Not sure if I would own one since I'm more into fish but I'm not going to count it out.

After years, I setup my 75gal and my 55gal again, and still have some other stuff in storage. I think I'm done with a marine aquaruim... I'm going to do a setup in a 350-500gal with all my fav freshwater: barracuda, stingray(s), frontosa...

I've never had the desire to do salt water.. they look nice, but I'm just "in" to fresh water. That will be a pretty cool tank once you are done! Do you have an exotic retailer close to you?

That's so cool dude... i used to have a lot of reptiles when i was younger, from the age of 10, i've had dozens of snakes that i captured on lakes, studied and released back into the wild. Lizzards and turtles as well

Yeah, we have a few where I live. I looked a few weeks ago and one had some rays in and wanted $150 ea (which isn't bad I think for wild caught, about the size of your hand). They had some other really nice exotics too, I wish I had the money but I don't right now...

We also have a hatchery for Cichlids. (mostly Africans) They wholesale them to the public too.

I agree about a saltwater tank. I had some cool stuff in mine but it took up a lot of time and was hard to maintain. All the fish were really expensive too. I ended up doing a total invertebrate reef tank. In the end, it just wasn't worth it.

Roms i have same as you - a tank full of cichlids
You are right about them swarming when they see you go nr the tank as they think its feeding time.
Mine are really messy though and i have a plec in with mine and some catfish (forgot name) but they catfish that live with cichlids in the lake (something to do with cichlids eggs - the catfish attach their eggs to them).
Love my fish and to me they are the center of the living room.

Sounds interesting, post the name if you findout what it is. I have a plec in with my South Americans, but my Africans killed the one in their tank. He was getting mean and they ganged up on him.

Once you've been bitten by the bug you can't live without them.

Come to the darkside again Kevin!
