supasi Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I used to keep Rainbows. They are neat little lizards. Quite social, meaning you can keep a few together without problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 LOl Rainbows are not natives. Try the Herpt society Hans they can put you in touch with keepers in your area, and they can give you quality non hybrid animals which are legal.

darkfur Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 my mum's cat could probably "acquire" some for you... wouldn't come complete with tails though..... :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 my mum's cat could probably "acquire" some for you... wouldn't come complete with tails though..... :-? That would be illegal as far as im aware. Speaking of tails, one of my gecko's tried to make a run for it and got its tail caught in the glass door, hope its tail isnt damaged much. It got out, lucky i caught it, going to modify the cage in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repto Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I would rather you get them Han`s than some skanky cat!Wouldn`t have a problem especially when you breed them for others so when the cats get the last one there are some of that species still on the planet?illegal but not imoral.

davidb Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Keep them inside or out? Pics of enclosure please Inside, although I keep adults outside, they are happy running round the bottom of gecko tanks provided you give them enough logs and things to hide under. you wont see them unless it is sunny though if they are in a big enclosure. Ill take pics next time im at my lab if I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
