I keep my two BPs, and I used to have a pair of tree frogs... I found I really don't like having crickets in the house though. I'd rather have mice in the freezer. I have nothing against geckos (and I did keep one over a summer a few years back - it was my sister's class pet), but I don't want to faff about with the bugs. Perhaps that's why most "girls" keep lizards, they don't want to feed an animal another (fuzzy) animal?

I also like all the colours and patterns you can get in BPs. Leopard geckos do come in a palette of colours, but not as pretty as my pythons!
