The thread really doesn't need to be explained, right? So many dog/cat threads, they dominate the 'net. Well fuck that I say, lets have scaly stuff in the spotlight.
I don't have a reptile.
My cousin has a female bearded dragon called Atticus.
...I kinda want a pet lizard.
Well, I have the "go to" reptile, the Bearded Dragon. I love her and enjoy letting her loose in the apartment and will occasionally take her on walks on a nice sunny day 
I'd love to get more reptiles, perhaps a snake next. Anyway, here's my dramatic close-up:

I loved my pet gecko. I had him for about 13 years before he died a couple of months ago. He always had a smug look on his face and loved a scratch on the back of his head. Reptiles arn't for everyone I can understand that but if you like reptiles you will love your pet lizard/snke/tortoise.Johnny Novgorod said:

There is definitely truth to that. If you are expecting a pet that will become attached to you and show affection, then a reptile is not the pet for you. There is "simulated" affection that you can pass off on being genuine, but in reality reptiles are pretty independent creatures. Two examples on my end. My bearded dragon will lay on my stomach for a long time when I let her out of the cage (that's what she was doing in the photo I took). But I know she likes to hang out there from my body warmth, not due to some kind of attachment. Secondly, she has meal times pinned down pretty well and anxiously watches me when it is nearing time. Then she gets very excited when I get up off the couch and walk next to her cage, running around causing a ruckus. But that is because she is going to be getting food, not an association with me.Johnny Novgorod said:

I don't own any reptiles myself. But my cousins bearded dragon, Heisenberg, is very photogenic. Point a couple of grands worth of camera gear at him and watch him strike a pose!!
The colour is very good in both of those photos, but the second in particular is excellent. I haven't seen an example of a bearded dragon with those vibrant colours before, only faded yellow ones. I notice bearded dragons seem to be fairly popular around these parts; the local pet store always has one or two available. There's something fantastic about their spiky little diamond scales.Private Custard said:I don't own any reptiles myself. But my cousins bearded dragon, Heisenberg, is very photogenic.

OT: I don't have any of my own, sadly, but I quite like the look of chameleons. Their little Lego hands are adorable and they seem to have a permanently crazed "u wot m8?!" look on their face.
I really wish I had a reptile or really any pet...sadly I'm not quite in a good enough position to make that kind of commitment. Either way, the pictures you guys and gals have posted are really great. One day I'll have a beardy or, chameleon of my own but sadly, this is not that day.
