Nice setups. I really like the ackie setup, I can't wait to get a pair of my own someday. And the gecko setups all look so natural inside!

Thanks. I try to keep all my setups as natural as possible. It takes a little more work to maintain but I think it's definitely worth it in the end.
 
You have EXTREMELLY happy reptiles Vicious :) I wish someday I would be as half as good as you are in keeping so cool setups:D Just one thing I noticed and I think you should know. Of the plants your keeping in your crested setup, one of them (the one with big yellow and green leafs, one of your geckos is sitting on it) is a Croton, a plant of the Euphorbiacea family and like all in this family, if wounded it secretes a white thick latex that its at the least irritant and possibly poisonous. Exudates of this plants can also contain it and because cresties like to eat that kind of stuff, that is a plant I would avoid.

Thanks for the compliments Coura, and don't worry about that Croton. Those photos were taken outdoors on my patio. I don't keep that plant in with my cresteds. :)

Exactly my idea. Its definitely worth it in the end.

My first blood mite case (and hope only my burmese), caused throwing some
beloved plants away. One of them I cherished for over fifteen years.
The plant, that is.

Here one of my lizards:

0309201010609 [640x480].jpg

Got him cheap cause he lost its tail, and
he was originally ment to be food for the Pacific boa (which lays in the pool),
but he is not to be eaten yet, and I fancy the little guy.
I had a tjiktjak, but it ecaped and now runs loose in my livingroom. I hope.
Every now and then I see a glimpse.
But this long tailed lizard (Takydromus sexlineatus), digs and till now is too happy living
and I feed him fed crickets.
So a potatoe for the cricket for the lizard for the boa. :D
 
Here are a few iggies I have kept in the past

This is Spike. The guy couldn't keep him anymore but this thing was a beast. He free-roamed my house pretty much.

This one came from an idiot keeping him with 2 other iguanas in a 75 gallon cage. Poor thing had it's nose rubbed raw. He was not very nice, but I can't blame him. Now he lives with my dad.

And just for fun - some lizards I painted on the back of an escalade for a school project.
