[8maseface]

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface tomorrow

[123ilovelax]

glass cages.com :)

[8maseface]

Where did you get your cages from

[8maseface]

And I got a freshwater eel it's a spiny eel it is in with guppies and in the winter all the fish curl up around him and with my turtle the sword tail fish suck algae of my turtles back

[8maseface]

It is okay no but it lost it's tail

[8maseface]

My gecko might not be eating ):

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface why????

[californiagirls56]

@8maseface i have a gecko but it is my brothers, my sisters and my mom and dad. 

[8maseface]

And im actually grabbing my presentation on snakes right now! (you inspired me with reptiles

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface just be sure to make sure on what species you want. It is a big commitment.

[8maseface]

I told my mom dad and gramma I wanted one so bad that I'd get a shower without being asked mow the lawn free and clean my room all the time

[8maseface]

I'm deleting my presentation on corn snakes and making one on blazing blizzard leos

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface why would you do that? I thought you REALLY wanted a corn snake? Obviously not. I mean, a leopard gecko lives well over 15 years, and it took you 5 seconds to change your mind on a corn snake! I dont know, but that is really weird to me.

[8maseface]

Also my powers out so I have to conserve my iPod energy cause that's what I'm using so I'll be at my friends house

[8maseface]

Today's Christmas no animal yet I hope I get a corn or Leo but I did get 100 more bucks!

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface yeah no animal for me... but they said I COULD GET ONE!!!!!! :)

[8maseface]

Can you feed Leo's just meal worms

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface wow that sucks! Okay so maybe forget about getting it at your dads if your step mom is that uptight. I will make a video as soon as I can :). I use a heat lamp on my gecko cage because my room is FREEZING! Make sure the gecko has a spot of 85-90 degrees. Mealworms are okay, but they do enjoy hunting crickets Well I do want an animal right now, a Carpet python, but I am most likely NOT getting it for Christmas. But if I do, aha, expect to see a vid of him!

[8maseface]

And do you want an animal for Christmas? ;)

[8maseface]

Also do Leo's need heat lamps I know that don't need uv light and are crested geckos good to have as a pet mine is a Dalmatian

[8maseface]

Okay my b day is in 4 months and could you make a vid for my mom my parents are divorced FYI so I'm gonna get it at my moms house if I get it and I have better chances at my moms house because my step mom is like deathly afraid of even a turtle! I try to explain to her that reptiles aren't bad but she doesn't listen (but i still have a turtle :D

[8maseface]

Do you live in new York ps I can't get my parents to say yes to a corn snake and I tried:

1 telling them that I will pay for it and I do have 190$

2 taking extra care of my turtle gecko and 2fish tanks

3 and there's a place called pet bazaar that I go to in castle berry Florida that the corn snakes are only 9.99 and I'm working on my presentation

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface @8maseface, No i actually live in southwestern CT.

Just the most important part is to let them think about. I mean, do you really think you will want this snake when you are in your 20's and 30's?

When is your Birthday? Maybe try to wait for that. If you are really serious about getting this snake, you really should just let them think about it. I waited THREE YEARS for my first little corn

If you want any vids on them to show your parents let me know :)

[8maseface]

I actually got a crested gecko from repticon in Florida instead of a leopard gecko I'm asking for a corn snake now I've done 3 months of research and I'm making a presentation but I don't know what to put in my letter

[8maseface]

Awesome I think I'm gonna ask for one for Christmas ps I'm only 9.

[123ilovelax]

@8maseface for what, a leopard gecko? They make great beginner reptiles. I was 8 when I got my leo, and she is still happy and alive :). Now being 15, I have 3 bearded dragons, 1 leo, 2 corn snakes, 2 whites tree frogs, a ball python, and sooonn A jungle carpet python for my birthday :)

[123ilovelax]

@graphikanime I would wait for about two months, and the whole time, be making a presentation on them. Let them know you will pay for it and everything. I just adopted my first ball python, so check out my channel and show your parents those when I put the videos up. If they really say no, message me, and I will try to help

[Ja93942]

My mother is petrified of reptiles and I've always wanted one please help I've told her the corn snake isn't venomous and that the bites don't hurt but she won't budge

[123ilovelax]

@Ja93942 That is not enough information to convince your parents that you REALLY want a corn snake. They live a long time, and are a big commitment. Again, make a nice presentation ( a poster, a powerpoint) and just STUFF it with information on snakes, and of course, the corn snake.

[zoocritter100]

I used to have fire belly toads!!! If u get one be cautious they are poisonous.

[123ilovelax]

@zoocritter100 They were my first pet. My mom got them for me for Christmas. It was the best gift ever :)

[justinam11111]

hey 123ilovelax

my parents wont let me get any type of reptile. i have a fish, and i ask them repeatedly for a reptile and they say no. any advice? they say that theyre afraid of reptiles so i cant have one. ive tried all the tips butt their still not convinced. help me!!!

[123ilovelax]

@justinam11111, well you are being too broad when saying " I want a reptile". If you want a snake, go with a corn snake. If you want a lizard, go with a leopard gecko. Start with something small and build your way up to your dream reptile ( mine is a carpet python).

[MsReptilesrock]

ur organised



[123ilovelax]

@MsReptilesrock hahaha thanks

[eddy536]

how to convince my parents to get a centipede :(

[123ilovelax]

@eddy536 make a presentation. A really good one. Like make it AT LEAST 20 pages long

[123ilovelax]

@VanessaZG maybe you should work on them getting over the fear factor. That is usually what causes parents to be afraid. Also, don't ask for a huge lizard or snake. Ask for a leopard gecko, or a corn snake. Usually, parents will let you get a leopard gecko, as they are small, cute, docile, and eat crickets throughout their life. If you have any more questions, message me :)
