I got them to agree to the first one, then ended up bringing lots back without asking and ended up with my parents double-garage converted into a reptile room cos they wanted them out of the house!

i started sneaking in tarantulas and mini (very aggresive) scorpions so when i moved on to lizards my mum was relieved.

In fact, she even helps out in the shop now!

same way if you ask ur dad for cash at 17 he says no. if you tell him you are pregnant, then tell him ur only kidding but you need to borrow £50 he'll give you it!

Do red bellied Piranhas count?????? Well i got them when i was 10..but got my first rep which was a beardie about 7 years ago. Still going strong but extremely fat. He completely refuses to eat crickets or anything he has to chase after and is fed on big Mario worms, i know, i know, theyre supposed to be a treat fed infrequently but its the only thing he will eat livefood wise. The only thing he will eat veg wise is the Sainsburys cosmopolitan salad leaves (£1.98 per bag). He refuses anything else and if i try to mix grated carrott or apple, mango etc etc he will either completely refuse to eat it, or there will be a small pile of the offending items left in the bottom of his dish and he goes crazy if he cant watch TV
