So sadly my amazing salamander Eggroll ended up passing away recently. It still doesn’t feel real that he is gone. But this isn’t the point of the post, but it does tie into it.
I am no longer at my “limit” for animals because of this. I am not really serious about getting another animal super soon but I do have room for a third 4x2x2 and was wondering, if you had an empty enclosure and could put anything in it that is a intermediate or below care level and preferably under $250 (absolute max of $400) what would it be? I don’t mind at all if it isn’t on the list below as a a new thing to look into keeps me entertained for a couple hours
So far this is my potential animal list. It somewhat in order of what I am considering more but it isn’t really perfect.
Snakes-
A girlfriend for Elmo my scaleless dh albino lucy (probably a triple het but maybe visual gene double het)
Male boa
Blood/ST python
Bull/pine/gopher snake
Green anaconda
Russian rat snake
Ball python
Japanese rat snake
King rat snake
Lizards (more likely to happen)-
1.1 or 1.2 giant butterfly agamas
Girlfriend for Potato (Blue tongue)
Jeweled lacerta
1.3 or 1.4 curly tails
bearded dragon
All this is hypothetical as I will probably find an injured animal that I have to take in before I convince the parental units to let me buy another reptile
Free blue tongues for everyone who I know will take care of them properly . I could see myself doing that lol.
Now that I think of it, I do now have space for a rack system as Eggroll’s enclosure isn’t needed anymore… maybe I will get a reptile basics VE-6 or a Super70 3
I kinda like the idea of the butterfly agama group. Or a girlfriend for potato.
I would avoid the anaconda because it won’t be long before they get big… And potentially stinky. They have some of the worst musk I hear. If more space frees up then maybe?
It is a joke that I throw into every list I make . I am actually not even a huge fan of them. I like yellows more but I don’t have enough room for a 6+ foot enclosure.
If I can successfully breed mine next year… I may consider picking one up from them. @_@;;
I love the look of the goldenchild motleys… or would love a purple albino or caramel to go with my white albinos. Or heck, even just a neat little pure SD locality.
Ok, so I feel like this is stupid to even consider but if I get the job I applied for, I could technically afford one of my dream animals- a Mexican beaded lizard. But I am not sure how smart that would be. I know my dad likes them so it would probably be easier to convince my parents about getting one than another snake. But is it that stupid? I know a decent amount about them and feel that I probably should get the idea out of my head
. I could see myself doing that lol.

Thanks for reminding me!
