Welp. I know there are specific threads around, but I figured I'd make a general reptilian thread. Why? Well, I dunno, what if you're not specifically one kind of reptile? What if you look like the bastard child of a lot of different reptiles? WELL. LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS THREAD IS FOR YOU. Got scales? Post here. Hell, I'll throw in a survey for the fun of it to get us started so we won't just stand around this thread awkwardly.
What's your species?
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why?
Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us.

My responses:
What's your species?
Dragon Chameleon
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why?
It's hard to say. For me, chameleons because I can relate to them a lot. Or Ball Pythons; I have one as a pet, and she's just lovely.
Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us.
I sure do. A ball python named Poe.
What's the best part about being a reptilian?
Looking badass. Having scales. Seriously, what's not awesome about being a reptile?
What's the worst part about being reptilian?
Generally, having that default pissed off look all the time. It's not my fault reptiles always look angry.
-
What's your species? Well, I am a dragon, but I'm also a Komodo Dragon, and a Dinosaur I call an Epanterian Tyrannotitan.
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why? My favorite species is hard to say... I might say Komodo Dragon, but then again, there's also the Black Mamba I adore. Gonna say the latter, for now.
Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us. Unfortunately no. I want to get an Igauana, and my Grandma's cool with it; but my Grandfather is herpaphobic. Gah, when I move out, I'm getting one.
What's the best part about being a reptilian? Definitely the fearsome appearances, as well as the wide array of weapons that come with the species.
What's the worst part about being reptilian? Not many downsides, more or less just some other's dislike for reptilians here and there; but that's with every species. I can't really think of any really big downsides. The pissed off look is pretty accurate for me in real life, anyways; gotta break past it, everyone.
-
Woo! Someone responded. I also figured a downside is being unable to thermoregulate. That kind of blows. xD
-
Good God, that's what I was forgetting. Both my Komodo and Dinosona are cold blooded, so looks like they'll have to forgo any skiing trips they might get invited to. Ironically, I made Sytex semi-warm blooded. So his body temperature only slightly fluctuates with temperature, but keeps warm enough so to have him at least at a functioning level.
-
That's what blankets and tons of winter wear is for!

And thus we agree! *dives under comforter and makes it into an epic toga* Cold begone! >:U
Either I do that or move to someplace like the Caribbean. But seeing how I'm strapped for cash... Togas, togas everywhere. *finds a heater* I also gravitate towards these things. Fitting? I think so.
-
C/Amn ZombiezuRFER reporting as ordered, sir!
What's your species?
Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why?
Dinosaurs and birds, just freaking awesome.
Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us.
Was supposed to get a cockatiel or cockatoo, but nope. Skink, but nope (Chuck Testa)
What's the best part about being a reptilian?
Perhaps the alieness of being reptilian, as you are not a cookie cutter genus like a fox or wolf (Apologies to foxes and wolves that are unique) and are instead a unique persona, and from the get go, any reptile is inherently more involved than mammalians on a similar scale of "furry."
What's the worst part about being reptilian?
As reptilian in general, the worst part are the haters. Those who find you a freak for choosing scales over fur, as though they are holier than thou and all that. Frankly, the fact that these people say that you are wrong for something that wasn't even a question.
On the dinosaur level, the fact that there are so few Spinos out there makes it rather lonely. Is my genus so rare I can't commune with its other members?
-
Aw. WELL, we can commune with you in the GENERAL REPTILIAN SENSE. <:
-
You are accepted.

Here is the complimentary heater. *gives heater* But the steak is mine. >.=.> Noooooo... STAY AWAY.
-
*Gives heater back to Sytex* Thanks, but no thanks. I don't really need it, being a dinosaur and all... Warm blood, you see? :P
-
Well, who says it just won't snow? Or that snowmen might rise up and attempt to usurp power? Melt them with your heater. Or even slow roast food items! Make your clothes feel like they came fresh from the dryer? You see, it is a multi-functional item. But if you want it that way... *takes heater and basks in the warmth for fun*

Species: Central bearded dragon (Pogona Vitticeps)
Favourite reptile: Well, bearded dragons of course! Chameleons are a VERY close second.
Pets: A bearded dragon named Smaug, after the dragon in The Hobbit.
Best part(s) of being a reptile: The scales are great for walking through undergrowth. The tail is useful too. Hang a pouch from it and you have an instant pocket.
Worst part(s) of being a reptile: Ear-holes. 'Nuff said.
-
Oh my god, what an adorable name for a bearded dragon. That's close the the adorability of naming a two headed bearding Bert and Ernie. xD
-
What's your species? Dragon ^^'
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why? I don't think I have really one. I love several species, some because they are very soft, some because they are smooth, some because they have a big fluffy tail... ^^'
Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us. Badly no, no pet... :x
What's the best part about being a reptilian? Scales very smooth! ^-^ and love of warm! They can also be cute!
What's the worst part about being reptilian? Cold blood (http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/r/dragoncold.gif?1) not good to fall asleep during the winter
-
Glad to have another reptile here! I must have missed your intro thread, assuming you made one. I haven't been active in a while.
-
Heya ^^'
My intro is around the top of the first page, so if you give a quick look, you won't miss it ^^"
-
What's your species?
A snake. Not any snake in general. I have attributes of both constrictors and vipers, though if I had to say the one I look like most is an anaconda... or a black mamba... just one with arms and legs. Black scales. Fangs. With poison. Not that I use them for much. Mostly just as bottle-openers and such.
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why?
Yeah, I think it's a tie between the anaconda and the black mamba. You can have any color you want as long as it's black.Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us.
Well, I don't have a camera, and they aren't exactly "pets", but I have a ton of garden snakes in my lawn. Those cute little rascals. ^_^ What's the best part about being a reptilian?
As smart as I am strong. But I think my best feature are my eyes. They are indeed irresistible.What's the worst part about being reptilian?
Moulting. My skin gets EVERYWHERE.
Heh... I love being a reptile, but still... this. x_x

Welcome. Snakes aren't as common around these parts. :I

Welcome. Snakes aren't as common around these parts. :I
I can only imagine. I honestly don't know why, though. If people were a bit more creative, I guess, then they would have probably had another one a long time ago.
-
I kinda bounce around from a snake to a dog from time to time.
They both have their own appeal.

Yeah. FYI My fursona is just basically more like a big guy with scales instead of skin and a snake head. With a tail. And claws. Snake with claws. Yup. :P
-
What's your species?
I'm a gecko.
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why?
Geckos. Because I am one.Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us.
I have two geckos named Chainsaw and Ninja.What's the best part about being a reptilian?
I like scales. And the fact that as a gecko I am good at climbing.What's the worst part about being reptilian?
Probably cold blood.

Mine is literally like my avatar. <:
Also, welcome, TerribleUsername.

Species: lace monitor
Favourite reptile: i don't really have one
Pets: used to, but not any more
Best part(s) of being a reptile: being lazy and strong immune system
Worst part(s) of being a reptile: gonna have to say the cold blood. basking in the sun for warmth is nice though
-
Oh hey, Serpington. It's been a while. :D
-
yeah, things got a little quiet for me around here, but oh well. i still check in every now and then.
-
It's about the same here. xD
-
Also, (excuse the advertising) I was hoping that some people would join the RP I set up in the Serious RP Forums. It's a sort of viking RP that I hope will be the first in a line of blood-related RPs throughout history. I hope you come. ;)
-
May want to check your formatting. Seems to have gone a little wonky on your thread there; I haven't rp'd on the general rp boards in a while now, mostly because a lot of people don't seem to know how. ;_;
(And the more serious adult rp section has been dead save for one thread... I used to rp a lot back in the day.
-
honestly that's a large part of why i vanished. all the rp's dried up, so i went searching for a place to 'suit my needs' if you will.
come to think of it i don't really know why i returned here...
-
question, can i take back that comment about strong immune systems? it's literally less than a week into autumn and i've already had a cold for about two days.....
-
Not quite sure what happened to my last post; it seemed to have fragged up. Anyhoo: no more copy/paste for me right now.
My species is common snapping turtle.
My favorite reptiles are turtles and tortoises; with crocodilians coming next.
I own a common snapping turtle and two Russian tortoises, among a zillion other pets.
The best thing about being a reptile is being an ectotherm. You don't get cold; you get sleepy-- and we can take the heat!! I love to bask in the nice warm sun. Nothing like a good bask and then a good soak!!
The worst thing is that we're pretty misunderstood. And underrepresented.
-
Anyone out there? :)
NOW CRAWL AROUND AND DO REPTILE THINGS WHILE I MAKE FLOWERCROWNS.
-
One more scalie for the group~
What's your species?
I'm an hybrid of boa and mamba, an albino anthro snake
What's your favorite kind of reptile and why?
My favorites are snakes, komodos, gila monsters, crocs & alligators, water monitors, tegus and some rare(colorful) lizards. I just love their appearances, some of their attitudes, instinct and they're just cute/handsome heh
Do you have any reptiles as pets?
Sadly no, but I'd love to take care of a ball python or a boa
What's the best part about being a reptilian?
Everything! The scales, those faces haa and well, everything related with being a constrictor and venomous snake
What's the worst part about being reptilian?
Nothing at all except being cold blooded. Aside from that, the stereotypes and way most people acts to most reptiles (except dragons) since we're not as many as the ones with fur (still more then other less-used living beings like insects)
... Reptile love!
-
What's your species? Dragon
What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why? I am a big fan of Iguanas. I used to own them, and I love them. Also, Dragons!
Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us. I do not, but I definitely want to get back into raising them.
What's the best part about being a reptilian? Because we are awesome!
What's the worst part about being reptilian? Being Cold-blooded. When it is cold outside, you have to wear tons of layers to keep from freezing to death.
-

What's your species? I am a leopard gecko[/size]What's your favorite kind of reptile? (if not your species) and why? My favorite reptile? thats just not a fair question. They are all amazing! but HAVING to chose one i'd have to go with Indian gharial because of their lighting fast reflexes and bad ass look.Do you have any reptiles as pets? Tell / show us. I have a baby leopard gecko, his name is Nimbus (I don't have any good pictures on hand)What's the best part about being a reptilian? Reptiles are amazingly beautiful and i am proud to call myself a gecko. What's the worst part about being reptilian? Well the whole heating issue has already been said more then once, and yes it sucks to be cold. all. the. time! but my other issue is that in comparison i am a tiny reptile to all of you. (don't squish me!)
-

What's your favorite kind of reptile and why?
Dragons of course. why, because their scales act as armor making them able yield lightweight garments.
Do you have any reptiles as pets?
No i do not.
What's the best part about being a reptilian?
For me being a Dragon it's being able to use magic.
What's the worst part about being reptilian?
People avoiding me because I look soo intimidating and they can't tell what emotion I have at the time sense Dragons give off energy that tells others what mood we are in.
