Thanks for the input. My dad didnt flip he was ok with me having them but hes had a fear since he was little he got bit in the boot by a rattlesnake when he was 5 and could see the venom cominng from the fangs that luckily didnt peirce the boot. His dad shot it in the head, that would scare me to.

What the heck is a chuckwalla? And I dont think basiliks or water dragons are as happy with their owners as some monitors and tegus are.
