Got the cali 8 1/2 years ago ,really didnt know what age he was,came from the shop i now work in,but they got him from a collecter breaking down his stuff so they could have had him for god knows how long,he was an adult when i got him. Hes a bit different than he used to be slower,calmer feeds a bit less rapidly, coz he was the first he still gets the massive 3 by 3 1/2 viv lol

Golden gecko maybe? I had a pair of these. Lovely things! Noisey as hell jumping all the tank at night though!

I got 2 blue sided garters. I thought they were lovely for the first few days. I quite quickly found that they are very fast, they won't eat pinks and they smell. After 2 months I'd had enough, and traded them for a couple of corn snakes which were far better.

my first was a leopard gecko, and then it kinda exploded from there

My first rep. was an adult corn. snake - had been into reps for a number of years but my partner at the time didn't like snakes so I did the dutiful thing and didn't keep any.. we split up last July and since then my collection has grown every few months

iguana....nearly 14 years ago, and still going strong, so that has to tell you something

My first snake was a grass snake, caught on our farm when I was a kid, in the mid 70's and still have quite a few around still. My son (nearly 4) caught a 3 footer in the summer, with the help of my dad, in the muck heap. I was never allowed to keep them for more than a couple of day though.
