I've kept spalerosophis (sp) and they were okay.

kinda jumpy, but they were cool.

kinda jumpy and fast...also what issue of reptiles are you talking about they must have not sent us one cause we didnt get it...lol

[haroldo359]

what is spalerosophis, telefrag? common names please, i am still trying to catch all the scientific ones. i am interested in several asians. king rats, blue beauties, tiawan beauties, 100 flowers. i am interested in a lot of them. do you have in suggestions as to some easy to care for ones? i don't wanna pay to much for any and struggle with them. (i have been told mandarins are hard to keep, but they are out of my price range right now but on top of my want list). i really like blue beauties. i need to find a pair reasonable. know where to look?

yeah, nicole, like kerri said, they are fast and jumpy. don't don't have a bad disposition, they just try to avoid being handled. it not uncommon to have my hand in there and have one run up my arm and take off. i like them, they are pretty and calm. really they are our first attempt at reptile breeding.

how are collard lizards i was thinking about getting one i heard that they are a pain to take care of

	Geek Auto Linker or Gallon Geek Auto Linker Gallon - United States liquid unit equal to 4 quarts or 3.785 liters

[haroldo359]

they are ok. more of a display lizard, but they may be more handlable if handled more. i have noticed ours are less wild now than they were. you have insect-eating lizards already?
