Reptile enthusiasts or breeders?

[Brooke Wilde]

I'd like to get some kind of dragon, lizard or big frog. I've searched CL but there must be a dry spell or something right now because the pickings were slim.

Anyone here a breeder or know of someone?

I'd like something that can be handled often yet is not too dangerous since I hope my toddler will want to handle our future pet as well.

Thanks in advance!

Just go down to Buffalo or White Oak bayou ...

I wish it was that easy. Hell, I'd even take a regular frog at this point.

It is that easy. I grew up catching reptiles for my teachers from elementary to high school. It just rained so your job is even easier right now. Hell if you want a frog I have them on my sidewalk every night of the week.

See the Political Forum. Venomous critters very abundant!

You just missed two of the better shows that come to the Houston area.

If I were you, I would plan on attending one of these shows and deal with a lot better selection and quality of vendors and enthusiasts than off Craigslist. You will be able to talk to experts, shop various supplies, and have a wide variety of choices to choose from.

DM loves lizards.
Ask her if she can give you one.

I'm not joking when I tell you I have not seen an outside frog in years. And I'm outside every night. I guess because I'm downtown but then again I stroll down buffalo bayou and am at discovery green often, maybe I just have not noticed them since I am focused 100% on my toddler.

A road trip to Key West? LOL ... well that's like totally realistic ... let me stop typing and start packing right now. If I drive non stop I should be there tomorrow by this time with no problem.

Here I go!

Thank you. I have never heard of them. If my trip to the Keys doesn't go as planned, I'll have to check them out next month.

I had frogs before. They do require lots of attention.
Easiest one to have is the fire belly toads.

I'd say: don't get a chameleon; they require a semi-tropical or tropical environment with lots of rainfall; kinda hard to maintain.
Iguanas are fun, but they can get huge - up to 6ft long! . . . and, those tails hurt when ya get slapped by them; even with the smaller ones.

For a child, I'd recommend a bearded dragon. They are laid back with cute little quirks, and they tolerate being handled very well.

But, I don't know any breeders 'round here . . .

reminds me of that one james bond movie
