Re: Display Herp for Shop
ive found in our shop that my jungle carpet python works farely well. keep in mind that he is an adult :)
Re: Display Herp for Shop
Bearded dragons are always good for giving onlookers the impression that they know something people don't with their expressions and movements. A shop we go to sometimes has a pretty big window display with a couple adults that wonder and are just cool to look at while basking or watching people as they come inside.
Re: Display Herp for Shop
I was gonna say JCP! They are Sooo pretty. Hey, how bout a BRainBoa??? They're AWSOME!
Re: Display Herp for Shop
i would never let any customers(if they arent interested in buying) hold a rainbow boa as they are far to nippy and anyone who gets the chance to sue will lol. bearded dragons are an excellen display herp as everyone wants one. i also put baby russian and hermanns (not together) tortoises on display as they are so cute!
Re: Display Herp for Shop
I would say go for an RTB! They (usually) are calm, and have a beutiful pattern. I have sceen my RTB in his hide one time, and thats because i moved his cage with him in it, to a diffrent room, poor guy was probably really scared.
Re: Display Herp for Shop
You can't go wrong with a dwarf monitor lizard....great animals to watch :D
Re: Display Herp for Shop
i personally wouldnt go with an adult rtb because all of the parents that dont like snakes definetly wont do well with a 8+ foot fat snake in a window lol keep an adult rtb in the shop when someone not scared of snakes would like to handle one.
Re: Display Herp for Shop
I heard the BRB are just nippy as babies. Find a yearling or subadult and call it a day.
Re: Display Herp for Shop
I would think an albino burm or a Large Tegu. A 4-5' lizard will always catch your eye as will a 10'+ all white and yellow snake.
Re: Display Herp for Shop
The problem with a 10' Burm, is it doesn't STAY a 10' burm. I can't keep giants. I don't want to keep boas. I have Noah the tegu, but the darned little bugger went into hibernation.
I'm thinking that the beardies sound good, and they tend to be out and about basking most of the time that I see them. I have a little redfoot tortoise, I was wondering if he could hang out with beardies? During the day, I can put him into his own tank for feeding time at the end of the day.
I like geckos, but most seem to hide msot of the time.
Thanks for all the suggestions and keep them coming!
