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!

thats brilliant! i'd try that but considering he knows im a lesbian i dont think he'd believe it somehow

I never managed to persuade my parents to give in...so waited till I moved out. My OH bought me my first reptile, a bearded dragon named Dino when I was 20!

Mine was some type of snake, i can't remember. I was pretty young. Poor thing didn't survive.

then i got 2 corns last year. And my collection has increased from there. I was 20 when i got the 2 corns.

I got a tortoise at 15, (she has a new home with a lovely garden now).
My first lizard was a green anole....still alive and producing babies now, so nowt wrong with him.
He is the third bottom pic on my sig. (on the leaf)


Usually green anoles end up being bought on a whim, but as you can tell from my sig, i love them.
I fell in love with them when i was younger when i saw them in a shop, lovely little animals.
