No pics of the Bloods I used to have.

Here's one from a breeder though, you can see how thick these things are.

And here's my 138lb American Bulldog.

Eh, I don't want to say a lot, but it's not as easy as one would think. If you get one when it's young, you have to handle it daily, so it's not aggressive or try to run away when it's bigger and could do some damage to you. Plus the size they reach. The cage I have him in is 8'x4'x4' and that's a little under sized. Plus thier feeding requirements. I buy about $20+ a week in greens and veggies for him.

Leopard Geckos are alright, they grow to a nice size to where you don't have to be super delicate with them, and are pretty friendly.

I'd suggest a Leopard Gecko or a Beared Dragon. They're by far the easiest to care for.

Nice bully fusion.

I got an english bulldog, bought her about a month ago, shes 5 months old. I have yet to get pics up on my computer, but when I do ill post some pics of her. And you serious that dog is 138lbs? Mine is only supposed to get to 50-60 and I thought english bulldogs were bigger than the american?

Oh no, she's 138 pounds. She had to get surgery last week. Focking dog tried to get over the little fence we have, and got stock on the steel post. Ripped her stomach and muscle open. Cost was $580.

i want something that wont snip at me when i take it out of the cage and when i carry it around the house or put it down on my desk wont try to run away.

i mean i know at first it will try. but i want something easy, slow, and lazy as shit like me. easy to keep up with lol.

lol

A Leopard Gecko or Bearded Dragon would best suit you then. They can be a little jumpy when they're babies, but calm down when they're older.

Almost forgot about this little focker...

Black Throat Monitor. Mean as hell, but he stopped biting finally.

 

[silvercookie 5,000+ posts]

see i want something like that^^^^^

minus the biting.

how much do the leopard geckos and bearder dragons run?

all the geckos nee for like 1-2 is like a 10gallon tank, some sand/rock, water dish,food , dish. a rock and a heat lamp right?

fairly simple.

might run down to pet shop by me tommorrow to seee how much they cost.

 

[Fusion_FREAK 10+ year member]

The prices I get and the pet store prices are completely opposite, so I don't completely know.

Bearded Dragons are about $60 in the pet store last time I checked, but I can get babies for about $15. Same goes for Leos, they're about $60-100 (depending on *** and color), but I get them for around $15-$25.

Best bet to do is look for a breeder online.

Just know your shit before you buy an animal so it doesn't end up getting neglected or hurt.

They're a handfull. They require ALOT of handling to get them tame. They bite, and have a VERY strong bite, a young one like mine can easily break skin, and already has.

They require an all meat diet. I feed him ground turkey every day, and a live mouse twice a week. He will get about 5 feet long, and weigh a shit ton.

Most pet stores are full of wild caught animals that have parasite that won't eat and won't live for a while.

Yes, I can get one that cheap. Shipping is steep though. PM me if you're serious about getting one, and I can find you a breeder, maybe even a local one to you and get you a good deal on a nice animal.

 

[Fusion_FREAK 10+ year member]

And shipping can be done, I've shipped and recieved hundreds of snakes and stuff.

 

[silvercookie 5,000+ posts]

and nit right now, maybe when i get shit a lil more organized.

like how much are we looking at for shipping?

cause it has to be like overnight or next day right?
