Reptiles in the grow room?!?!

Why not? Ample lighting, higher temperatures without lamps or pads, higher humidity.... perfect environment for most exotics. What's the problem? I've seen hundreds of pictures of peoples' dogs in the grow room and that CAN be disastrous!

absolutley agree thats what got me thinking in the first place about getting a reptile. by the way i bought 2 leopard geckos and a horned lizard. at some point i am also going to add an aquarium in my grow room to. i just dont want to waste the excees light and heat

What about the urine? Even if they dont piss or shit on your plants it reaks! I had a 4 ft. monitor Puff was his name and when I walked in the house I knew when he did his deal. DO you really want your buds around that nasty shit?

crikey.....

do not rub your reptiles with rubbing alcohol unless you want them to die. Warm baths and mild soap only!

Reptiles thrive on raised temps and extra co2. If you can breathe, so can they. I don't get what you're asking about bugs; if you mean what to feed, it depends on the type of lizard or snake. I like crested geckos, but I'm mostly a snake guy, and giant constrictors are my forte...

I have a fully grown Boa in my grow tent 5x9. He loves it. I know if he climbs the oxypot reservoir or, god forbid, tries to get thru the scrognet, he won't fit thru the masks, he will knock something over on the way....and i will wake up. He mainly night active. That is when it is time for feeding, i hand feed with a glove on, live prey. Made the mistake to just let a rat i to the tent....catching that motherfucker again was no joke. It haven't caused me any problems at all....but bearded Lizards, they climb to lie just under you lamp, makes a dent in your canopy and shits all over. My snake shits once or twice a month, easy to remove and fast. He lives a good life in there and i grow some great weed.

my friend killed his iguana by accident. we filled up the tank with smoke to get him high plus a couple shot guns to the face and the next day my friend called me and said his iguana was dead. but when i left he was alive. something tells me he had a couple more puffs wen i left.......

That is jus way stupid and sad for your friend. Do not get animals high, that is just wrong and abusive.

A reptile is like a plant in that it needs/likes certain conditions, temps/humidity and light spectrums.

They also need a dedicated basking spot to aid digestion.

can you keep reptiles in the grow room? i thinking about buying a lizard or snake? what about co2? i vent every 2 1/2 hours so i think they will be alright... will they damage the plants possibly? what kind of bugs can i feed them that wont feed on plants?

I've had Toka, giant day, leopard, ball python and a boa. Keep these things away from anything you will touch. And ALWAYS wash your hands and any tools used in their care with sanitizers. Be safe. And please read.
