So, I'm getting VERY interested in reptiles. I've never had them before, so I'd like some input
What is a good beginner reptile? I really like the look of leopard geckos (they seem the "tamest" of the smaller reptiles.) Ball pythons are also sparking my interest, but I don't think I could feed rats. Mice? No problem. Chicks? No problem. But I can't feed a rat, not after my Brutus. Could I substitute rats with baby bunnies?
Also, once I get the "feel" of reptiles and their care, I'd like to move on to something more advanced. My absolute WANT when it comes to scary critters is an Argentine Black and White Tegu. They are pretty much the only reptile that gets DOG tame. They are soooo cool.
My best friend had an iguana, as well. He was a neat little dude, but not the friendliest. Granted, he was a baby, but I've heard it's kind of a chance with iguanas as to how aggressive/tame they're going to be.
So...tell me about reptiles! Any species is fine, not just the ones I listed. I'm just trying to get a feel for them
