Herps and sprogs

[Trillian]

I know a few of us have warm-blooded children in addition to our scaly babies, thought it would be nice to share our families! Here are some pics of my girls 4 years ago at a reptile rescue centre in Crete (http://www.aquaworld-crete.com/). They loved this particular place so so much, that we ended up going to Crete 4 times, and we very very rarely go to the same place twice when choosing a holiday! My eldest was totally besotted with the enormous Burmese python and would sit with her for hours, stroking her and just watching. My youngest adored watching the chaos caused by the FR tortoises and still laughs about my eldest having her chair tipped over by a large Sulcata who had no idea he was far too big to squeeze under it!

What are the two green lizards?
First I thought they were iganas but then noticed there were no spines.
Second thought they were Grandis Day Geckos but noticed there are claws.
Thinking it might be Green Tree Monitor but not sure. What is it?? Thanks!

It's the same one twice! He's a Balkan Green lizard (Lacerta trilineata) called Dino, he was very placid, the girls adored him and 4 years later are still desperate to have one as a pet.

The Burmese was enormous, but fed once a week with a turkey leg, and the day before she was due a feed wasn't allowed out to roam in case she got feisty, but very placid the rest of the time. Mostly just curled up on the stone floor and slept all day! It was pretty scary having my baby so obsessed with a snake that was as wide as she was and 9ft long...

There wasn't an animal pictured that came anywhere close to being eye catching like your beautiful kids. They all look like little blond angels. I am a total kid lover, yours would be hard not to just cuddle and squeeze.

My grandsons are here right now and at 12 & 14 they are still my babies. I think I have the only kids that age that will just come up and hug me all time. Maybe it is because they live in Atlanta and I don't see them as much. Life revolves around Logan & Caleb it minute they get off the plane.

They are crazy cute! And a bit of a shocker, there are no blondes in my family!

But imagine how our family feels since we ran away to America with them There is nothing to take away that huge feeling of guilt I have! Though you guys have marshmallow vodka, so I'm still fairly sure we made the right decision.
