Could but thats a bit pricey for getting 2 vivs and a second beardie with all the stuff for the second viv. This will kind of put your parents in the totally wrong direction and be a definite no because of the extra cost. Why not sell you beardie and get a trio of frog eyed geckos or leopard geckos.

For me spider mad money isnt the issue really, its my birthday coming up and because its my 16th my nan is giving me £300 SO that should cover some cost and i get other moneys from other people plus i have a bank account which keeps money which ive been putting into it for 14 years in so that can be used too. And whoever said sell the beardie....no i cannot sell stroodle hes too valuable for me, if getting 2 lizards ment getting rid of stroodle then i wouldnt bother because stroodle means too much to me.

Babygyalsw2, that is a bleedin good idea i really like that, i think ill be using that lol

God damn it! Why do i KEEP seeing this kind of thing written today!@? REPTILES ARE NOT DISPOSABLE PETS. do not buy one and think its ok to swap it a year later! they're not toys.

This is exactly the kind of attitude that more people should take

[leogirl]

what i did was this....

mum - "dont get a lizard"
me - "ok" *comes home with lizard*
"ok but no more"
*comes home another lizard*

that was repeated with every rep ive bought and is now carrying on with my girlfriend

"your NOT buying anything at barking"
*plans to get a snake*

i would love to do that but my mum will get rid of it, i brought home a hamster from a friends...she took it back to my friends whilst i was sleeping ((this was when i was alot younger broke my heart for days ))

CHILL THE F**K DOWN!! GOT OFF YOUR F**KING HIGH HORSE AND DONT LOOK DOWN YOUR NOSE AT ME. HOW MANY F**KING PEOPLE ADVERTISE ON CLASSIFIEDS THEY WANT TO SWAP THEIR CORNS FOR W.H.Y OR KINGS OR WHATEVER OR SELLING TO GET DIFFERENT BREEDING PROJECTS? WHATS THE F**KING DIFFERENCE I DONT SEE YOU JUMPING DOWN THEIR THROATS ABOUT IT. I WOULDN'T CHANGE ANY OF MY REPTILES OR SELL ANY OF MY ANIMALS ON PERSONALLY. IV'E KEPT EXOTICS FOR MANY YEARS WITH PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE AND KEPT EACH ONE TO THE BEST CONDITIONS IN CAPTIVITY AND NEVER TREATED THEM ANY LESS SO I DONT NEED ANY SERVING SUGGESTIONS FROM YOU!!!

Ok i wouldnt normally step into an arguement but when its on one of my threads then i have to step in!

Ok spider please dont use caps its rude in my books and i dont like it thank you . Secondly i dont think that gecko101's was aimed at you completely, i think he was just making a statement that he doesnt agree with people selling reptiles just to make room for more which i have to agree with.

Gecko101 i dont think it was right for you to make a comment like that when i wasnt asking for it, if i wanted your opinion about people who do it then i would make a discussion about it, im not being funny but it does start arguements among people and that is something i do not want in my threads. But that said i do have to agree with you but it shall not be discussed here.

If you two want to fight over this topic please take it else where as i do not like people fighting especially when its in my threads. Thank you
