Reptile Room Basenji Park

  • ONLY 5 ft.?????? I don't want to know what you feed it…the pups might look appetizing...I'm getting scared for them!

  • pups dont need to worry he only eats fish. Also he has been there longer than some of the basenjis, so he is used to them and them to him, each have a good respect for each. Caiman are the most shy out of all the crocodillians, They are not the top of the food chain in south america, a snake is. This makes them wary, our caiman is only seen at night or if someone is going to feed him.

  • Whew! I was not sleeping at night…imagining BB's post in a few years...

  • My husband and I raised reptiles and took in many unwanted animals and rescues. At one point, we had:

    1 American Alligator (unwanted)
    1 Argentine Black & White Tegu
    1 Columbian Golden Tegu
    1 Savannah Monitor
    1 Nile Monitor
    1 Argus Monitor
    1 Green Iguana
    1 Blue-Tongued Skink
    3 Bearded Dragons
    2 Leopard Geckos
    3 Burmese Pythons: 1 albino (unwanted), 1 albino green (unwanted), and 1 regular (rescue)
    1 Reticulated Python
    2 Peruvian Redtail Boas
    1 Columbian Redtail Boa
    1 Argentine Boa
    1 Coastal Carpet Python
    1 Irian Jaya Carpet Python
    2 Western Hognose
    3 Ball Pythons

    Talk about a Zoo! Enjoyed every minute of it though. Unfortunately, dear hubby got custody of our herps in the divorce :(

  • Thats how we got most of our stuff too, people see something they like and dont know how much work and money is envolved with keeping herps or fish for that matter. Plus the knowledge involved with houseing them correctly. Thats great that you too have rescued herps, most people dont give a damn about herps cause most of them arnt cute and cuddly.

  • "Thats great that you too have rescued herps, most people dont give a damn about herps cause most of them arnt cute and cuddly."

    I feel the same way. My husband and I did (ex-husband still does, since he's got the animals) many educational programs for the public. We are members of the local herp society and visited schools, nature centers, and anywhere that would have us to share our pets and our knowledge of reptiles. People are so ignorant regarding herps, and have such horrible misconceptions of these creatures. It was very fulfilling to prove them wrong and to actually watch them walk away with respect for those animals (even if just a little bit).

    Your baby looks exactly like my "Harry" who I had to put down this past Monday. He had all characteristics of a Basenji, tho I am pretty sure he was a rat terrier/basenji mix. (I wrote about him a few years back on this link: https://basenjiforums.com/topic/15001/more-tales-about-harry-the-autistic-basenji-mix We had him from about 8 weeks old until may 15th at 7:30 am. What a crazy guy. Handsome as all get out. (I always told him that if there was such a magazine as "Handsome Dog magazine", he would be on every cover. I think the reason I am so heartbroken is that he was so hard to bond with and my wife and I took care of him almost like one takes care of an autistic child. Well, I know this is 4 years late...but I am sorry for your loss and hope you found another like your beloved baby. This is a pic of Harry after he lost over 20 lbs because of kidney disease.

    MacPack: Yes, I know bestiality isn't illegal here - how stupid, and they did mention that on the radio. Also, the whole gang probably would platonically marry Topper, he is such a dear. My Shaye would REALLY like to marry Topper.

    What an interesting group of pictures. I don't get a good feeling when looking at these pictures - I get a feeling that the animals look as if they are being exploited. The dog at the bottom right does looks a little like a basenji or pharoah hound or a mix of the two.
