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).

    Sorry, but I'd most likeley go for a beagle, that was my very first dog and he was awesome!! Got him off the street…my first 'rescue'...after that, crap, can I say this...a cat.....OUCH!!!...Yeah, I was very lucky with both my B pets, but as I get older, I'm not sure I would be able to handle a young B. However, as I look forward to retiring I'm more than happy to have multiple B's in my home. :) Older ones, like me :)

    There is a commonly used dog in TV and commercials that is either a Rat Terrier, or a corgi/terrier/basenji/chi mix….I have seen in on law and order, and some other more recent commercials...might be that one. Or it could be a real B...I haven't seen either of the ones mentioned.
