i hand raised a timini grey parrot when i was in the service {Smokey} yeah I know real original eh? lol....he was the best, I didn't have a cage for him ....he lived on a perch and had a couple pieces of furniture he hung out in the house.........he had a pretty good vocabulary too......my favorite episode was when i walked across the street to see my cousin and my X wife got into the shower..........a few minutes later my neghbor came over and pounds on the door.......Smokey yells "come in!!" and he does .....just as the X is coming up the hall way with nothing but a towel .......on her head LMFAO !!!!!!
but ....she got pregnant and was affraid the bird would hurt the baby and made me get rid of him ..............................

Yeah, I love reptiles. They are freakin' awesome! Except snakes, I don't mind the ones that have been hand-raised and are calm. But I'm not fond of them, especially when snowboss and I had to remove one from a garage at work the other day. I pretty much let him do all the work with that one!
When I get my own house I'm gonna have a shitload of reptiles though like water dragons, monitors, geckos, you name it.

Snakes rock. I use to be afraid to handle them before i got bit. once that happened i realized there was nothing to be afraid of, it doesnt even hurt that much its just surprising more than anything.

The first time i was bitten by a snake was (of course) catching them at my grandmas house. I caught a little baby gardner snake (maybe 2 inches max). iIwas cupping it in my palm when it bit me right in the middle. It didn't even hurt, kinda felt like velvet.
