favorite species?

[oscar]

i know alot of the members here have many different species in their care and i was just curious as to what everyone's favorite one is and why.

at this point in my short experience, i'd have to say that my cresteds, especially my new one, excites me the most. i am really looking forward to seeing him grow and how he turns out.. and hopefully is he is a she, what kind of babies she'll throw.

Its hard to say what is my fav. I really love my leos, cresties and gargoyles. But one of my favorite geckos is rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus, I dont have one as they go for like 5 to 10k but some day I will get some. They are a live bearer and are one of the only geckos knowen to swim. Ah I love them!

Palmatogecko rangei. I'm sure that this surprises some of you. They are such an amazing species. They are unique and extremely hardy. I guess that's why my first gecko book is about webbies.

Nathan, just how many do you keep anyway? what interests you so much about the rangei?

My favorite is Eurydactylodes agricolae, just the look of them is great. I love the yellow that outlines their jaw.

Best,

Chuck

My favarite Lacertilia has got to be the Xantusia vigilis (desert night lizard) .I had a pair a few years back.Breeds in captivity readily and the young are born tail first,upside down, and alive.

I love night lizards!!! BTW, great avatar.

I guess I missed the P. rangei question. I have several pairs of them. They are just so unique, hardy, and fecund. Once you get some, you will completely understand. I have yet to lose a neonate!

I have a few favorites. I would have to say my leachie because it seems like he's getting bigger and more colorful by the day. In one month he has put on 18 grams putting him up to 70, and has gotten a nice dark green. Running a close second would be our millis and levis.
