    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hiya.

I'm new here. I live in California with my 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 snakes. I am looking to increase my family of furries (and scales) by at least 2 more would love to have some suggestions.

I currently have one 10 galllon tank and one 40 long gallon tank that need to be filled.

What do you guys think I should get?


:)
 
What fascinates you? What will you get hours of entertainment and enjoyment from just watching. If you are a gecko kind of girl we can give suggestions for either of those tanks. Do you like Ball Pythons? Cornsnakes? Bearded dragons?

Personally I adore my Blue tounge skink and a 40 gal breeder is adaquate. They have personality for days, she's kind of adorable when i wake her up and she huffs and puffs at me. If i let her out she'll cuddle up in the curve of my elbow and sleep/burrow in my side. They are heavy bodied (when you pick them up you dont feel like you're squishing them as with a uromastyx) They are fairly docile, yet can get some speed to those stubby little legs. Wonderful for carefully supervised children or unsupervised adolescents.

I hope this helps a bit, sorry if it came out biased!
 
Hi and welcome to the forum.. I would suggest you fill the 10 gallon with a nice cute breeding pair of rats, that way you can feed the babies to your snake and save money.
 
Those are awesome ideas!!! Thanks so much.

I was actually thinking of breeding rats! Do you have any links to good online breeding guides?

I would love a lizard of some sort in the long tank. I'm divided between a bearded dragon (would one adult fit in my 40 gallon?) and a gecko/geckos, skink or salamander.

So difficult to decide!
