yyessss, here too I can shed my old name of Draekos and become a higher being.
Gaykos.
(Draekos is still fine, I just really love the pun)

@Draekos Gaykos...... Geckos...????? Gex?????????????ii11

@vahnj now I miss my cute little leopard geckos :<

@Draekos i need to find some kind of lizard pet my bf is gonna be cool with bc he hates snakes

otherwise i'd prolly go out and get myself a western african house snake, those lil buggers are darlings

it's not like growing up with a science teacher mom spoiled me or anything >_>

@vahnj my partner and I have been oscillating around between an iguana, a snake, or birds.... we're rather indecisive.

Have you looked into, say, horned lizards? Knew a guy for a while who bred them, cute devils~

@Draekos SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE

as long as you're comfortable feeding farmed mice snakes are easily some of the most fun pets imo

i love giving them exercise with my hands, and then when they're tired they'll just chill on your heat and are generally very comfy to just live with

they're also a lot easier to find if they get away :)

@vahnj yeah, I was hesitant about snakes at first but I'm fairly onboard with the idea
