Re: What was your first herp?
A green iguana is what got me into snakes, the iguana just didn't do it for me. Plus you really gotta be on top of them they poop everyday and eat everyday.

Re: What was your first herp?
I guess you can't count the lizards and snakes I brought home as a kid that my mom wouldn't let me keep? :D
My first legitimate herp was a green iguana when I was about 12... it was -not- the best choice for an inexperienced keeper. And the PetCo setup didn't help matters... he died of intestinal parasites at around 6 months--at least, so said the vet. Poor Keoke... I'm sure it was a combination of poor husbandry, an inexperienced keeper and the liklihood that he was WC.
Live and learn, I suppose.
