Thanx Mikey. I was thinking about a Leo, I think a Beardie will be harder since it will need a larger cage.

Almost everyone on this site is a kid.... No offense to people here but that is why I call this forum the beginners stage... because most of the kids here move on to bigger, better, more helpful forums as they become more experienced and grow in the world of the herps. Also no offence to the forum, it's just hard to have a really great educational basis when most of the members are kids...even if some of the kids really know their stuff ya just don't get that great advice from people with 40 or more years of experience.

Anyways, back on topic.... i'm so jealous you live in alaska btw...thats a place i'd love to visit!
and i'd suggest a crested gecko! I am love em so much, greatest little things ever! you could do a bearded dragon but you would need a bigger cage in about 6 months...

Thank you guys very much for your input! I was actually considering another snake or a couple anoles. I love corn snakes and there is a good breeder not too far from me, also the pet store has some but I don't like getting them from there, My Milk snake was from the pet store here and he was a little agressive since no one there paid any attention to him.

Um, no. Im a teenager, I do teenager stuff; hanging out with friends, whatch T.V., play video games, listen to music, stay up until like 2:00 AM and sleep until 10:30. Only thing that makes me different is that I have a strong intrest in anstronomy, physics, biology, the stock market, and the arts. I also listen to indy rock.

Same age as you buddy. Im also interested in breeding herps, only that I've only succesfully bred a pair of green anoles, but im looking into breeding leos.

I'm breeding green anoles. if i get any hatches soon I'll tell you.

Everybodys suggestions are great choices, I would recomend a smaller anole, such as green, brown, or crested anole. There very interesting little lizzards and you can get them for cheap, captive anoles can live till 8 years if mantained properly.

Heres one of my caresheets for a green anole. Its on attatchments.

I also reccomend (if you decide to get the anoles) to read Phillipe de Vosjoli's Green Anole herpocultare book. I found most of the information in the book promising.

Id recommend a lepoard gecko. they're moderately cheap, low maintenance and can live in a 10 gallon their whole life.

well, considering the animals you already have and assuming you are an experience herp keeper i think you should get a corn snake. not only are all the color morphs beautiful but they are inexpensive and easy to care for. and that ten gallon you have should suffice until the corn is at least two years of age. in my opinion white snow corns are very attractive.

I have decided that I would like to get another reptile friend. I currently have a New Mexican Milk Snake, a Ball Python and a Schneider's Skink. I just bought a 10 gallon tank and would like something to put in it. I would prefer something that either doesn't grow fast(so i have time to get a bigger tank) or something that will be able to fit in there it's whole life. I was considering Hermit Crabs, but i have had them before and would like something different. If you have any ideas what i should get or what you think would be fun let me know! I plan to do alot of research on what ever it is anyone suggests to make sure it would be the right pet for me!

Thank you to anyone who gives an opinion or idea.
