What’s one reptile you really want, but you know is impossible do it just being to rare? For me, it’s a shingleback/eastern blue tongue hybrid

Those are awesome looking! For me it’s probably going to end up being Crotalus Iannomi or Autlán long tailed rattlesnake. They were discovered in the early 60’s and only a dead specimen was preserved, rediscovered in 2008 but with such a misunderstood range and the trouble of Cartel’s in the region, might not be able to get a pair established in captivity for some time.

Titanoboa, I volunteer myself to be a caretaker of one if they’re remade. I have been looking for red-eyed crocodile skinks and I have a tank set up for them except I’ve had trouble finding them because of how rare they are. When I do come across them they’re either related or I don’t have the money for them at the time. So they aren’t unobtainable, but they have been for me for the past couple years.

Right now, retics for me but definitely would want a sd/d female purple albino.
For money reasons (her name is Willow), any super expensive investment female breeders (boas) but this is going to change lol

For me it would be a Boelen’s python (Simalia boeleni). I saw one at a zoo and fell in love with them, but they are sooo hard to find and even if you do find one they cost an arm and a leg

A parasaurolophus, or a velociraptor.
If science wants to use dna to create one I shall volunteer myself to care for it!
But in all seriousness, for me I don’t think I have any ‘rare’ reptiles I want.
I’d love a rock iguana but I don’t have the space currently here for one so I mean if that counts then those!
Also we’d love to eventually make an outdoor enclosure for tree monitors! 
Guess we need to move

My interests lean toward species that I feel should be legally and legitimately introduced into the hobby by serious individuals in conjunction with professional organizations (zoological, conservation, etc.) for preservation purposes. Some of them are threatened in their native habitat, others were once widely available but have since become scarce or lost, and still others are just radically unique but treated more like disposable oddities. The captive breeding of any of these would reduce the threat to them in their native environment

Bush Viper for me. They look awesome. I do not want one because of the dangers, but if there was guaranteed safety, in a hearbeat.

I’d love some death adders for the same reason! I know death adders are a lot more hesitant to bite, but I just don’t wanna take the risk.
