Fix ARE freaking creepy. I hate even TINY fish. I remember a few years ago I was standing in the shallow ocean water at the beach and a school of tiny fish swam up and were eating the dead skin off of peoples feet and I screamed and ran.. people thought a shark was after me;-D.

Nesoberu, my bearded dragon. Approximately 1 year old.
The tub of margarine actually holds his superworms. He gets all excited when he sees it. :D

They have wonderful personalities, too. So animated!
Neso is extremely cuddly. He actually gets depressed when me or my boyfriend put him in his tank because that means he can no longer spend time with us. He actually sleeps in our bed, too, in a little pet tent, just so he can be closer to us. Like any other animal we've had, we treat him like an equal, rather than a pet, so he picks up on that and has a good understanding of human body language. And we spoil him, so he might as well be our child. lol

Awwwwww how adorable!!!! :D He doesn't go to the bathroom or anything when he's not in his tank? That's the only thing I'd be worried about really.

We've give him a bath first thing each morning since he was a little one. He's learned to do his business in there. Plus, he loves to swim. :P
He can go more than once a day though, depending on how much he eats, but aside from being smelly, his poo is pretty easy to clean up. He gets this thousand yard stare ("poop face" lol) and a bit of a bum wiggle right beforehand, so you can usually pick him up and move him off fabric just in time, if need be.
We keep his tank very minimalistic. Nice slate tiles instead of normal substrate, so there's no risk of impaction from sand. A log to lounge on, and a rock to bask on. He only spends time in there while we're at work (to make sure he gets his necessary UV light and basking time), so we see no need for a huge, elaborate tank.

He's a beast. About 6 inches. He goes through growth spurts where he will gain 2 or 3 inches really quickly, especially when we upgrade his tank.
He's about 2 years old.

This is Frankie..
Photobucket
3 year old Green Iguana. Although i adopted him from a reptile rescue centre. He was miss treated by his previous owners and has taken a lot of work to get him to trust me! Being fed the correct foods and having the correct light and humidity (that's hard work in itself) and routine has been hard work and has taken Frankie a lot of getting use to but i think we're finally there now.
This was Frankie when i first got him..

Back in June.

This is frankie a couple of months ago...

And i will post another picture of Frankie tomorrow because his colour is much greener now! (they turn orange during breeding season, especially male Iguanas)
I wouldn't change Frankie for the world. He is the best pet I have ever had.

kaylee chomper rocks. Joy wants an iguana now, but i may look into getting a bigger one, the small ones scare me.
i had two as a kid. Rex & Sloan. Rex looked just like chomper except he dropped his tail to it was short.
