Lenor Did hell freeze over? Zomboid and kahl going with what I had mentioned previously.

Zomboid A friend's brother had a bunch of bearded dragons. They were pretty cool and I'd imagine they were pretty easy to take care of, since he was always at work.

Shyandquietguy Get a snake. I hear people who like Led Zeppelin have them.

As for the Tree Frogs getting out of the cage, I think it might be the same deal with cats, anything they can fit their skull through is possible. Never include their eyes for the size of their skull (Some frogs use their eyes to push down food. I SEE YOU!), heck don't leave any gaps that are bigger than a quarter of their skull size. They might actually squeeze themselves into a crevice of a lid and jump out when you let your guard down after you take the lid off, same thing with any branches or whatever objects you put in there. If you're going to get one of those wallpaper decors at the back of the cage, make sure they don't peel off or allow the frogs to get behind them just in case.

Sorry if any of this sounds hoaxy, I'm just trying to think of ideas to ask the pet dealers or for any clues, since I don't have a very long time limit on the computers over here.

I don't know, something tells me you should get the turtles, might be like owning a fish that you can actually pick up without feel guilty about the thought that it's suffocating. The water dragons come off as the equivilent of hamsters except they don't poop as much. Bearded dragons seem pretty easy to take care of from what I've witnessed. Sand (One inch deep I think), crickets and occasional sprayings (I think once a day) and a heat lamp (You can get one of those timer power strips, I have one that has both day and night outlets)

Jeff The Ninja Get an Iguana. Theyre fun to play with (If you get a nice one, you can carry him around the house like a scaly bastard child from the fourth layer of Lake Ogopogo) :D

I'll take your word for it, Gris! My friend's gecko doesn't bite people. I'm guessing maybe cause he's always baked He's cool and just chills when we take him out. Were thinking of getting him a lady friend, so maybe he won't be so lonely when we don't pay attention to him, and aren't there.

So to make this long story short, I guess I will just have to take your word for it until that one day when he tries to bite my finger off!

theapportioner I've owned red-eared sliders in the past. Those things can't die. And you can just dump them in a pond if you don't want them anymore.

I'm convinced my friend who kept them was just a dumbass, but my cousin had them too. He had a sealed, damned nice terrarium. We never figured out how they kept escaping.

Zomboid My dad had a few different pairs of pirahnas in his life. They don't require too much care, and it was always awesome seeing them tear apart a big bag of goldfish. One time he went away for a weekend and forgot to have someone go by to feed them, and one took a chunk out of the other one and killed it :O

mburbank All those pets suck, and I'm being kind. None of them interact with you in any way.

Listen. Here's the pet you need.

Any kind of non human primate in an iron lung.

I'm serious. There is nothing more rewarding than coming home to the upside down head of a wheezing Orangutan that has to look at you in a mirror to see you right side up.

Grislygus Everyone I know who kept green tree frogs went through them like toilet paper. Fuckers kept getting out of the tank and dying.

MisSFiT I have two cat's, you can't have one without getting two.

Having baby turtles is probably a better idea to get before you get the cats.

You can also make a soup out of the turtles.

Protoclown Why not get a komodo dragon?

AChimp You can get frogs for free if you drive out to the country with a net and find a ditch.
