Default What herps do you want next?

First of all, it's great to be on a site where you can talk about herps without somebody going "eww you have herpes?".

I know that for most of us, the herps are an addiction. They're like Pringles, you really can't stop at one. What's next on your list?

Mine are:

- a pacman frog
- beardies (I think I'm in with a good chance, my mum saw some at the reptile shop down the road and fell in love with them)
- a tarantula... but this is probably a long way off, because I need to get over the remnants of my fear of spiders. I'm much better than I used to after educating myself on them, but I have yet to hold a T. I'm making bold steps!
- a turtle. But this might not happen because of how much outside space they need... we only have a wee garden.

I'll probably end up getting several snakes in the interim, but I want as many different kinds of reptiles and amphibians as I can, not just snakes.

I always seem to purchase reps that I never originally intended keeping. Apart from a few species that is.

Usually I'll walk into a shop and see something there which the owner will proceed to place in my hands, which I can't resist - leaving me with an empty wallet.......again LOL

i dream of having basin emeralds but they are so frighteningly expensive! talk about a nervous nelly! having a snake that costs so much would honestly scare the hell out of me. i mean if it didn't look exactly right one day... i would freak. i guess i'll have to wait until i have a neighbor drinking buddy who is a reptile vet!!

Me too! I didn't mean to buy my king or BRB. With the gecko I walked in and asked what I could put in a 2 foot tank and they showed me a leo and well... love at first sight.

I think my "realistic" next list is:

An aberrant albino or aberrant black and white California King Snake
A Spotted python
A Western Hognose
MAYBE a Rankins' Dragon - I'm not as keen on beardies, but the Rankins are cute. But we'd have to set up another BIG enclosure.
I'd be tempted to have Collareds too. I wonder if we could have a 2X2X2 viv and a 3X2X2 viv underneath Diablo's current housing, with a Rankin's in the larger and a Collared in the smaller?

And we'd like to get some nice inverts:
A couple of different millipedes - I like the red-legged black ones, but we want a range of them.
A couple of different stick insects - various species, from huge to small and colourful.
A couple of different mantids - again, from huge to small and colourful.
A couple of different roach species (probably Madagascan hissers, among others)
