wouldn't snakes get altitude sickness

that I should worry about losing my hearing is nonsense, because there will always be -=BASS=-

Not quite awake and caffeine withdrawal (I am detoxing, this is my fourth day without coffe now).

Buuut...I find spiders nasty because they have eight legs.
Then, I find snakes nasty because they have no legs.
Wouldn't it be great if spiders and snakes could share legs? Then both would have 4 legs each, and by definition this would turn them into cute kittens.
Think about it...just take a minute and think about it...the possibilities...

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

I dont think snakes would get altitude sickness only because most planes are pretty much micro ecosystems and, I have several boas, kinds, a blood and a few balls hehe. and gecko's XP

Cool. Never even knew those existed until you mentioned them. Had to do a google search to make sure you weren't just pulling our legs and then read about them a little. I did read that you have to be a bit gentle with them or else they'll bunch up on you.

I hear turtles are also popular.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I have a corn snake, which are great pets as far as reptiles go. Active, smart, and pretty tame. The only problem with those guys is taking them out of the tank for a little recreation and exercise. They're constantly in motion, and they're damn quick. Take your eye off of them for a second and they're gone. They you have to spend the rest of the evening playing snake hunt.

I'd like to have a monitor lizard someday. They move more like a smooth, agile snake than a jerky, clumsy lizard. It's pretty dramatic when they go into predator mode and seize the prey. I've heard their tanks get really smelly though. Anybody have experience with monitors?

Never really went into the realm of reptile ownership myself. The closest that I have currently are wild Bull snakes that I occasionally find in the garage. I'll catch them and move them somewhere where I think a mouse would hide.

Had a buddy who owned a iguana for a while which was pretty cool. He said it was pretty tame for while but due to lack of handling it had gotten a bit more aggressive over time. Probably explains why I jumped like a girl one day because it lunged at me from the bath tub as I was trying to feed it a strawberry.

I mostly have experience with snakes, huge and small, my biggest guy is 45lbs. Moniters are cool but they will need their own room eventualy, so be prepared to have a "house pet" in the future if you get one. I have a little experience with alligators but they are pretty different.
