Loads just hanging around the streets here. Small ones often find there way into the house but no one minds as they eat mozzies.

Must take a couple of snaps next time and post links for you.

Nice aren't they?

please dont take me the wrong way at all as i have no clue what so ever but is it true that all reptiles carry salmonella?

alot of animals carry it not just reptiles. i think terrapins are the worst offenders but not 100%
but yeah theres bugs on most pets just a case of good hygeine , reptiles arent any more dangerous or risky in that respect

and ive got a leo and a beardie

I'd love to have a bearded dragon! Unfortunately don't have the space or the knowledge and rats are next on the list!

bearded dragons make great pets but unfortunately for me I like much larger Lizards mainly monitor lizards and Tegus which take up loads of space..so I am restricted to how many I keep
