Tai, my 4 year old lab x collie. We got her from a family who needed to rehome her as their new baby was severely allergic to dogs and we couldn't have ended up with a better natured dog than her! She's in her agility tunnel which is her favourite toy!
Silver, my corn snake who is also 4 years old. I've had him since he was just around 5 months old and he's now grown to over 4 feet and is still growing!
Ricki, Sahara and Phoenix, my three dwarf sand geckos. Sahara and Phoenix are both coming up to 4 years old (anyone noticing a pattern here) but I don't know the age of Ricki. She was rehomed from someone that bought her as a birthday present for a friend but she ended up ditched in favour of a hatchling bearded dragon. At the time I was told she was 6 months old, but I now know she was a fully grown adult when I got her so her estimated age is 5-7 years, possibly even older. Sahara and Phoenix were both bought as captive bred youngsters.
Syke is a mourning gecko and she will be...yup you guessed it! four years old in March! I bought her as a 6 week old hatchling. Interesting thing about her species though is that they are parthogenic, which means they reproduce without a male!
And so this led to the newest addition, Little Cumbrae, Skye's daughter who hatched on the 25th of Feburary this year. I returned home from a late night at work to find a tiny baby gecko! This photo was taken a couple of days after she hatched and I don't think it really shows just how tiny she was!
So that is all my little trouble makers! Though Skye is busy making more, there are three eggs in her vivarium that look promising (fortunately I already have a home lined up for those hatchling) and two other eggs are hidden somewhere in her vivarium but I have no idea where!
Millie & Fly the Border Collies
wonder if they are trouble makers, don't beiieve it. like the reptiles. love tai
Lindybird said: They are all lovely, KatTai! Good pictures. Don't know why some people don't care for reptiles, is it just because they're not furry and cuddly. It must be like looking for homes for kittens when they breed, though. Thanks for showing them to us.

I bred my sand geckos a couple of years ago and though there was a lot of interest when I started, I did struggle to find homes for them and many of them where then moved on to new homes, as a result I have no intention of breeding them again unless to breed hatchlings for myself.
I love reptiles, I'd rather them than a furry (or feathered) pet any day (except for a dog of course!).
And it looks as if there could be a new addition on the way too...
Hi KatTai
I seem to have missed this post - what wonderful pets you have, really interesting. Who looks after them when you are away?

Currently my aunt takes care of them, she doesn't live far from where we are so it is easy for her to check up on them. She's hoping to sell her house though so when she does I might need to find someone else to look after them!
I love your snake - beautiful markings !
Here's my little trouble makers
And the one who gives me no trouble at all - yet !
My dog (Boris, the shetland pony sized German shepherd) is actually more like a hairy baby sitter than a dog, he cries when the kids get up to something they shouldn't and has stopped the wee one flying head first into a pond - he's great. Animals are sooooo much less hassle than kids ! Except when they go rolling in something stinky - the dog that is LOL!
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Ohhh Boris is stunning Happy Hippy!
He's just a big fairy really !
My goodness Happy Hippy! Are they twins? Double trouble Lol!!
Boris is gorgeous! Looks like he takes up half the sofa too!
