And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

I think I'd buy some bugs for my lizard. Maybe some hornworms? They're very good for hydration and basically every reptile that eats bugs goes absolutely crazy for them!

If my buddy is happy, then I'm happy, too.

Here's a picture of my ugly boy, Pฤ…czki.

Superb nakey wrinkly man!!! That Beardie morph was called something like Silkback or Leatherback right? Do they still slightly change their color like normal Beardies? :o

I'd go with the same gist of answer! I'd get some fun snack for my girl Revy, maybe Quail or African Soft Fur, and the rest of the budget would go to random fun enrichment items :)

Man, snake faces look so stupid and cute

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Herps herps herps!!

Yeah, he's a silkback. Less of a "morph" and more of a genetic nightmare. Definitely would never recommend to anyone who doesn't have a ton of time & money to spend caring for them, + extensive experience with bearded dragon care. A leatherback is the best option of you're looking for a bit of a smoother dragon!

Revy is adorable!! What breed & morph is she?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Whoa, that sounds exhausting haha! Do they need like, moisturizer to help them shed? :o

Revy is a Ball Python, her morphs are Black Pastel, Lesser and GHI (maybe also Confusion and maybe het Clown, the breeder wasn't sure). Surprisingly, the cool stripe isn't from something like the Genetic Stripe morph, just a weird effect from the combination of her 3 morphs. Her mom (also BP, Lesser and GHI) actually looks super similar, but has random breaks in the stripe, so Revy just got lucky I guess!

Well I love Paczki with all my heart! Iโ€™m spending my $15 on Paczki too

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

OMG! That's the best name for a pet! As a Paczki lover I approve!

What species is this? It looks like house gecko but larger and oddly cute

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

He's a bearded dragon with a genetic defect that caused him to be born without proper scales or spikes.

Because of that, he's a "special needs" animal, so he needs lots of extra care to keep him healthy.

I'd definitely recommend (fully scaled) bearded dragons as pets! Mine is an excellent cuddle-buddy and constantly makes me smile with his dumb goofy antics and curiosity.

You're correct! But he has a genetic defect, so he looks pretty different from a standard healthy dragon.

Huh, I didn't know that there were beardies without scales and spikes. Judging by his face, they still shed and it looks like sunburned skin peeling.
