Just out of Curiosity (mainly for women)

I got my husband into snakes back when we started dating (he liked them but was scared ). We grew our collection of various snakes and lizards together. I really got into breeding leopard geckos and that was kind of my own project. Now we breed Ball Pythons and shared the responsibility. I have been in charge of things lately due to his work schedule though.

I've meet a lot of women and girls that love reptiles. I would venture to guess around 45% of keepers and enthusiasts are women, maybe more .

Hey how do you like having to care for a leopard gecko and your bps I mean snakes really dont require much like leopard geckos but I was wondering are leopards hard to take care of cause i have always wanted them

I loved them! Once you have your set up right they are a piece of cake . I fed the little guys small crickets dusted with a good calcium vitamin (I think it was Sticky Tongue Farms) every other day and my breeders ate mealworms from a shallow bowl. Also, gave them a small dish of calcium power. They bred on their own basically. I would just provide a lay box for the moms and remove and incubate the eggs. All in all they were a bit more responsibility than a snake but not bad. In the past I used glass tanks but after reading up on them (I've been thinking of getting a few again ), they can be housed in racks cutting down on some work.

I have to admit though it took a while before I was comfortable grabbing live crickets, I was not happy about it but working at a pet store I got over it. And wax worms..., they remind me of huge maggots. That took years before I would just pick them up out of the container. I was fine with my Rose Haired Tarantula but put a wax worm by me and I'd cringe.

Sad to say but we don't have any lizards now only Balls and two Green Tree Python neonates. We've kept Leopard Geckos, Beardies, a Vield Chameleon, Skunk Geckos, a Frog-eyed Gecko, Crested Geckos, a Savannah Monitor, Green Iguanas, a Rose Haired Tarantula, Berms, Red Tailed Boas, a Jungle Carpet Python, a Blood Python, a few newts and a Whites Tree Frog. I really enjoy all creatures.

Yea i have a boa as my pet but my hobby is breeding bp so that is what i like doing i want to get a few more boas though because I like how big they get and how absolutely tame they are compared to bps. I mean bps are nice once there older but man the babies are little turds sometimes with there attitudes

Boas are great too! The worst bite I received was from one of our boas though . She wasn't very calm like our first boa who was just awesome. And I know what you mean about the baby BPs, most go through a nippy phase until they realize people won't eat them.
