This is my frilled dragon!! I named him Starchoice. The reason for this is because when he's angry and frills up, he looks like a sattelite dish! Frilled dragons are probably my favorite lizard and I was so happy when I got this little guy as a present! He doesn't go to shows yet but can be seen during private tours. Frilled dragons come from Australia and New Guinea and can grow over 2 feet long. |

This is a red claw emperor scorpion. It is a really nice scoprion too look at but has quite the temper. I would probably say that it is the most aggressive scorpion that I have ever had!

He is smaller than my blackberry right now but will grow up to be one of the heaviest reptiles I will own! Alligator snapping turtles come from the USA and can grow up to weigh over 200 pounds!! |

This is my new emperor scorpion which will now be coming to shows. I've only had it for a day but seems to be really friendly so far.

Well, I finally did it! I tamed down this salmon pink bird eating spider!! When I first got her she was a crazy spider that would try to bite and flick hairs at me every time I got near her. Now I can pick her up just like a rose hair tarantula! Their venom isn't too bad but I still wouldn't reccomend letting one bite you... Salmon pink bird eaters come from south America and can grow up to 10 inches! |

This guy seems to be one of the favorite anywhere I go. His name is Merlin and he is a sulcata tortoise. He is super friendly but he sometimes has some "accidents" on peoples hands.... Sulcata tortoises come from Africa and can weigh up to 100 pounds! |

This is my male green water dragon. I got him and his girlfriend a few months back and will hopefully be breeding them next year. As you can see he has a little bit of nose rubbing which is very common with water dragons but hopefully he will smarten up and stop hurting himself...

This is one of my red eared sliders. I got them to keep my smaller caiman company. In the wild they would be a snack for the caiman but they have been together since they were all babies and the turtles actually steal food right out of the caimans mouths!

|
This is an angry tokay gecko. I used to advertise one named Chuck norris on here but he is now retired as he has become too friendly...

This cool looking little guy is a desert hairy scorpion. I used to have an emperor scorpion that I would take to shows but he has passed away..Now I take this guy! He isn't as friendly and people don't get to hold him due to his aggression and venom but he's nice to look at. Desert hairy scorpions come from southern USA and Mexico and can grow up to 6 inches. |
|
This is a nile monitor we like to call Spaz. His name is very fitting as he likes to attack anything that moves near him. Nile monitors are usually like this though so it's not unusual behavior. He does calm down once and a while but his temper makes for a good demonstration of a lizard that doesn't make a good pet. Nile monitors are from Africa and can grow over 6 feet long.

This is my little group of leopard geckos. As you can see, they come in many different colors. I do breed a few reptiles but only the ones that are easy to care for and don't grow too large. Leopard geckos are one of the most common pets in the reptile industry due to their docile nature and their ease in care. Leopard geckos are from Pakistan and surrounding areas and grow up to about 10 inches long. |

This is an Australian water dragon. I'll be honest, I never really liked the look of these guys until saw this gorgeous guy.

Needless to say, I like him alot!! Australian water dragons come from........Australia, and grow up to 3 feet long. |
