[DB4LYFE ™]

~DB4LYFE

[Scotsman]

how much was he , and where did you get him?

[dkjohnson04]

will he fit in the cage at 6ft?.... PS i love reptiles!

~DB4LYFE

not in the current enclosure.... Next week i am buying a new 75 gallon tank for him, he is already out growing the 40 gallon tank he's in! Also giving them ample room to explore and stretch out/bask is key to good health and the lizard growing at full potential. reptiles are the ****!!!

and Scotsman...... he was 110 at a exotic petstore in oakwood called wildside! they are very knowledgeable (sp?) people up there and have top notch pets and equipment! i highly recommend them to anyone!:goodjob:

[Scotsman]

how docile are they?

[dkjohnson04]

uhhhhhhhh....hahaha funny you ask! these are one of the most aggressve lizards you can get and at adult sizes they can cause very severe injuries to you, however, if you get one at a young age as i did and provide the right amount of attention and love they make awesome pets! mine will walk around the house when the dogs are put up and climb up the couch and across my lap then use my legs as a bridge to get to the coffee table and explore.... look them up on youtube man some people have monitors that even will sleep with them!!! it's all about how you take care of it and you must respect it also. they are WILD animals after all...................

[BKgen®]

keep him away from radioactive sh*t.

[DJ Maestro]

That thing is kool as hell bro. I can't wait to meet it in person. :camera:

The people at Wildside really are top notch. The couple who own it are awesome people. They know everything about exotic animals and their store is amazing. They always had what I needed when I had my kingsnake. :goodjob:

kewl

[Red_Phoenix]

That lil guy is awsome. My iguana was 5 1/2 feet before I had to have his tail amputtated:cry: (bad blood circulation. He's 18 yrs old. There are a few pics of him on this site) As for keeping him caged I would start getting him used to roaming the house and learning his limits (rules) Mine hasn't been in a cage in 10 years and he's paper trained and everything. I'm a huge fan of big lizards and think its really cool when some1 ACTUALLY takes care of one. Make sure you handle him ALL the time and he will stay being a great pet. Reps to you!:goodjob:

Edit-Make sure you cut his claws with a dremel tool. Cuz they can rip the hell outta yoru skin

his claws are ferrocious!!!! they already tear my arms and legs up all the time! he roams around quite a bit but it's limited because mom has two small dogs that live inside.....dont wanna introduce the two!!! not that brave yet...

[c0l7hy]

6ft 200lbs :eek:

[Random Hero]

You should raise him large enough to eat human babies.

[TicketRedBB6]

+1. I've always wanted a large reptile like that, but maybe not quite that big:???: . That's awesome that he will walk around the house without any problems. I didnt know they could be raised/trained like that.

[Oz10]

lol at radioactive sh!t.

You could have a lot of fun with that at parties. You could scare the SH1T out of some dumb b!tches

[Bud]

gangster! i has a leopard gecko. hes cool as hell.

[MR.EM1]

leopard geckos make awesome pets too! they're so docile and chill!!

[MR.EM1]

^^ooops lol im at a friends house, forgot to sign on in my name.....

Do it now before he matures into an adult and becomes territorial. Mine ended up loving fury animals and was best pals with the family cat and actually defended her anytime we wanted to scold her. But yeah I would put on a pair of welding gloves. Pinch his mouth shut and introduce him to the dogs. As for the claws. Dremel them down just before you reach the vain. It will save your forearms a lot of pain:goodjob:

[VooDooXII]

Haha awesome...like you've got a pet dinosaur.

I've got a 3ft. Ball Python.
