Hello. As far back as I can remember, I have always loved lizards. They are my favorite animal, as well as, my favorite reptiles. I have a Fischer's chameleon who is about 11 months old, and we have had him for 4 months so far. My fiancee and I just adore him. He's quiet, slow, and so intriguing to just look at. I'm not much of a fan of all other reptiles though. Snakes can be a bit frightening, and even some lizards are a bit scary. But, out of all the lizards I ever had by chance of catching outside, our pet chameleon is the best I've ever had! Does anybody else like reptiles? If so, I'd really be interested in hearing about some different ones. I uploaded a pic of my lizard.=]

Hi, schwing_girl89. No, I don't really like reptiles. I am not a big fan of reptiles. I do like to see them in a cage though. They are at their best then. Your lizard does look pretty harmless. I am very scared of a reptile, any of them.

Hello! Yes I agree that if I see a snake in a cage, for example, I am a little less frightened by it. He is completely harmless. Our friends had a female chameleon of a different species, and it would hiss at them. But, ours is just slow and lovable. The closet we have is basically his whole room, but he just stays in his artificial branches. =]

Hiya schwing,
I like to see and hear about Reptiles on the Television but not to keep them personally. I like the Iguana especially. We have many kinds of lizards here but they are always well hidden but you can here them sometimes in the Bushes.
I don´t dislike any Reptile because they are there for a purpose but I really don´t care much for Snakes at all. It´s okay to see them on the Television but not anywhere else thank you.
I had a Parrot that when she was on top of her cage and she saw a Snake on the Television she would fly right to the top of my Bookcases and would stay there watching it to see if it was coming for her. That was something else to learn about.
Another time she saw a Stork and flew to the top of the Bookcase hitting her head on the Ceiling in fright.
Crocodiles are not my favourite either but again they are there and I respect them too but never to have as a Pet.
One or two People in Spain have had them as Pets also they came out on the Television.
As we live in Flats most of us I think it must be very difficult to have one of those as a Pet.
I like your Lizard though nice Photo.

I can honestly say I don't hate or despise the animals. I wouldn't want to keep them as pets though. Difficult to clean up after and would be a constant oppertunity to become the latest cat toy. George and I have three cats and the cage would be distroyed in two seconds. Precious wouldn't mind them as much because he lived with simular creatures (roadents) but same concept as far as confinment.
I've handeled snakes and other creatures when others were afraid around me. I'm not so eager to touch them as they can be easily threatned, but I will before anyone else. I've had to handle the class snake a number of times, especally when other students wanted to touch it, but weren't keen on the idea of sticking their hand in its cage.
But eh.... I'm cool with them.

No, honestly speaking I dont like reptiles because they frighten me. I dare not to be close to any of them even lizard can make me freak out. The two top most reptile I dont like are snake and crocodile.
