Isn't it a lot of effort looking after reptiles? I have no experiance, so I can't really say. It depends on the reptile. Snakes are the easiest, by far, to care for, since they don't eat but once a week(less than that often for really big ones), don't poop but once a week, don't make noise, and prefer to sleep most of the time anyway. Except for the tropical ones that need an additional heat source to bring their cage temp up to around 90 degrees F., or a humid environment(like Green Tree Pythons), they are pretty easy to care for. Lizards are more complex animals, physically and mentally, than snakes. Lizards also MUST have a UVB light source, or they can't utilize dietary calcium and will die. Most have to eat at least every other day, if not daily, and many are social, which means they need interaction with others of their kind or with people, much like dogs do, or they will develope abnormal and often self-destructive behavior. Monitor lizards have an IQ roughly that of a very intelligent well-bred German Shepherd from working bloodlines, which means it's also roughly that of a three-year-old human child. pitbulllady Oh, right, that isn't too bad then. And yeah, lizards sometimes seem really intelligent- more than what most people would think of them.

S'it alright if I cuddle Randall like a plushie? =D? ...Why are you all staring at me like that? ~Keaton the Black Jackal Staring? Nah... I call second! *gets in line* But seriously... I'd kill for a life-size Randall... plushie. At times I feel like I'm way too big for these sort of things though, which is what holds me back from purchasing a Randall plush and cuddling it to death. I would get very weird looks from my sister...

It's so hard not to love him! ;D Word. *forces Randall's face up by the chin* How could you not love this face? (My boyfriend wishes I'd dedicate this much time oogling over him rather than Randall. He knooows of my girlish crush. It embarrasses me and makes him somewhat pissy)
