currently yes, but i do alot of rescues around here!! i have had yellow bellies, red ears, and a common snapper, all were rescues and rehomed. I have also fostered a large green iguana for a few years, some common snakes that were either injured or that got into unsuitible situations, and a blind African clawed frog, i had an eastern box turtle (tort) for a little and then everything furry from ferrets and rabbits to dogs cats and goats... once i hatched some chickens in my dining room...

i also helped out a a local breeder for a little, which breed constrictors mostly but have experience with a few poisonous snakes, crocs and i handles a monitor at one point...

but currently i only have Phent and Onyx my hairless chinese crested

The females actually are the big ones! Males (phents a male) only get between 8 to 12 inches, but Phent is just under 14 right now, and I have seen females that were right around 2 feet long! They can be HUGE!

I didn't think Phent would reach this size he was stunted for a little, my parents were "taking care" of him or were supposed to be and didn't sadly he didn't grow very much for a year!

Phent doubles in size in the next few months after getting him back! And has been doing great ever sence!

He is currently in a 90 gallon that get a total water change each week with a 405 fluval filter! But I already have my eye on a 120 but if I move to a bigger place I found 250 that would be great for him!
