Well maybe I WON'T be getting a kingsnake after all... My husband is ever so subtly hinting he wants a lizard. Since I have gotten my way with getting snakes so far, I think maybe it would be nice for me to oblige and allow him to get a lizard.

So now we need to figure out what kind... he has expressed interest in a bearded dragon. I've thrown out other possible suggestions of leopard gecko and uromastyx (I've had both of those in the past). We both agree no monitors, green iguanas or anything else that gets to be on the bigger side. I guess the first step is for him to figure out what he wants in a lizard, and then we can go from there to find the right species for us.
