i say some herps are not as "exiting" or "interesting" as others. a herp that just sits there or you barely ever see it is, yes a little on the boring side. i have only owned 3 herps, and they all were not boring, so i couldn't say.

i know this is an amphibian but i have to say a pac-man frog because they just sit there. the only exciting thing is when they eat

The only herp I consider slightly boring are pac-man frogs. They move just about as much as a particularly active brick. They are very pretty though. And are fun to watch eat, but not if they are attempting to wolf down your hand, which they will, so they aren't handelable. But a lot of non-boring herps aren't handelable.

yeah! like a day gecko or even the fiesty tokay gecko! i want to get one sooo bad!

BORING BORING??!! i enjoy herp keeping. but herps are not meant to be "FUN".that said you can enjoy herp keeping. frogs are not "BORING" and neither are ball pythons. if you define boring as in not active, a lot frogs are nocturnal. my whites tree frog makes full use of his habitat at night. come on people, this is an insane topic. some herps are more active than others. what i don't get is why you think any herps are boring. i understand that some herps are more active than others and that different herps are active at different times. but really, this is not a fair topic. do you really think that any herp is boring? i don't. some people may want herps that move around more and do so in the day time. this is an odd topic.

Corn snakes, there just so uninteresting.

Well...In my opinion, they're just really common. They're no big deal in the herp trade, but I in the wild, I love them! They aren't nippy, and to me, I think wild ones are one of the best wild herps to "hang out" with.

It's funny because during summer, Iget tired of seeing green anoles, but in winter, I'm dying to see one!

And this is why I will never own a ball python. Kudos to the people that like em.... but there is just nothing in the least bit interesting about them to me
so...
to each their own.

i don't think any reptile is boring at all..if you do find some herp not as appealing ("boring") then dont buy it.

What is this?! There is NO such thing as a "boring reptile".

What is this? It's someones opinion, so relax. I happen to think that pac man frogs are the equivalent to owning a pet rock. The only remotely interesting thing they do is eat. Obviously, the pac man enthusiasts out there would disagree with me, and thats OK. To each his own.

A reptile being 'boring" is subjective.

I think some herps have a higher "bore factor". I beg to differ as far as BPs go. My BP has the weirdest habits and traits, which keep me interested. On top of that, BPs are alot of peoples' first snake, so they hold a sentimental value as well.

To be honest, frogs are cute, but I think of them as a little dull sometimes. To me, they all look relatively the same. Some are pretty in color, some are plain. Some climb walls, some jump in the rain.

Give me a good ol' burm any day. It keeps you on your toes when you've got a snake that could eat you.

What is the point of this topic? Herps cannot be "boring" because they are not meant to be "fun" they are a hobby to watch, enjoy, and learn. Not something you watch.

What is fun, is watching them eat and just plain watching them

OI don't think of them as boring either. (except ball pythons)

I don't think any herps are "boring", they are not meant to be fun, so they therefore can not be boring. I find all herps have great attributes to them.

I don't find any species of reptiles as "boring". I think that they all have something to offer.
