close, it is a beaded lizard, one of the other heloderms.
isnt it scary, working with dangerous animals all the time? the only relatively dangerous animal i have is a big female common snapper, and shes tame as can be. only snapped at me for the first week i had her.

haha, the beadeds are super tame once they get to be that size, you should see me trying to work with my male cobra. It is like trying to pick up water with the hook and he is fast as lightning! To answer your question, yes it is scary sometimes but I sort of like the challenge and I think it helps build nerves of steel. It certainly isn't for everyone though.
 
i cant beat snakeguy but il see what pics iv got of my lot.
iv tried to get one each of the ball pythons, the corns were just easier to show as a handfull lol
burms just shed AGAIN!!! and grown not far off 1.5ft since iv had him (4months) which is fine but obv means the people before just maintenence fed him :( poor lil man, hes now coming on 12ft and getting a bit chunkier round the waist but he gets his exercise.
a couple of pics of the boas but not all of them i dont think.
then caleb the bosc being his usual dopey self.

i also own a white and black fluffy bunny rabbit, but no pics of him lol

Chloe, very pretty collection.

cheers. i love them, although im selling the corns and ball pythons. i need to concentrate on the bigger ones as i have my lil girl....and to make room for a green annie lol.

the bosc is 3 years old:( hes rediculously small due to the girl that had him before didnt handle or feed him, he st seems to be in constant shed since iv had him.
i still dont handle him but hes used to me and one day it will happen but i want to make sure he trusts me first and knows he can make the first moves.

I just picked up a small bosc lastnight. I want another corn and central american but that will be held off for a while. Need to get the room and cages build for the ball, corn, boa, monitor and turtle first. The turtle, ball and monitor also need to grow some more first. Be hard to find a 2' boa in a 10'x6'x8' room or a 1" turtle in a 6' round kiddie pool with a 4'x'4 platform.

wow u putting ur boa in a room???
im just about to upgrade my biggest male and female boas in to a viv together and then move the other 2 male boas in to their own vivs rather than RUBs.
i had a few probs with the 2 males, ones runt of the litter and has never grown but is a dustbin lol and the other was a slow feeder at first so is small but starting to catch up with the others.
im trying to find the burm an 8ft viv as his is far too small atm but hes out every night and taken to the garden or park for a 'run' around at least once or twice a week, so whenever hes in his viv hes coiled up.
once his viv is spare il upgrade the bosc from a 3ft viv to a 4.....erm....lol im lost with my plans now haha. but there will never b any spare vivs in my house i can tell u lol

Yeah I won't have any spares either. I have spare tanks right now but they will be made into something to start breeding insects. I wanted to put her in a room so she would always have room. Plan on getting a male morph for her also. I love the albino jungle. I want a burm but I am pretty sure they are illegal in NY, I am rather amazed we can get monitors here. I have about 3 acre to spare. Well 1.5 as I am building an acre pond and a half acre pond. So I plan on doing some outside enclosures also for my reptiles to get some outside play in.
