Your own Collection?

Currently I keep 2:0 Carolina green anoles, 1:0 Asiatic long-tailed grass lizard and 1:0 Neon blue-tailed tree lizard, and I will hopefully start looking into expanding my personal collection to other species.

Cockroaches are a good food item but a colony of dubias is like 100 dollars

Yeah but they produce like crazy! I wouldn't recommend Dubias though Turkestan Cockroaches are closer to the size of crickets and come in a variety of sizes. If you are spending more than 100 dollars on a colony of cockroaches you are spending way to much. You only need roughly 25 and maybe even 10, if the species does well enough.
 
I think the dubias are more common. We feed the Turkestan ones to our Fire Salamander, and all of our adult Axolotls with no problem. We also fed them to our Sungazers when we had them. So they should be safe for bds.

Do you keep them all in the same enclosure? My friend had some anoles and grass lizards he kept them in the same tank.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about them. I uploaded some videos onto Youtube. Here's my channel: YouTube - myzootube16's Channel
 
Oh,haha do you work at a zoo?Lucky!If you don't mind me asking,what do you need to do college wise to work there?The Maryland zoo requires 4 years of biology to be a keeper.
 
Well I guess you could call it that. We mostly just do educational programs but we have some animals in exhibits that the public can see. I am actually 16 and I volunteer their. We also have Red Kangaroos, African Porcupine, Sloths, Emu, Striped Skunk, etc.
 
Oh cool :P I am 14 and I would love to do something like that but can't find any around here at this age...not even a pet store lol
 
if i had unlimated resources (money, land, workers, ext) i would have a large collection of different spieces icluding; the lion, white lion, siberian tiger, royal white bengal tiger, leopard, snow leopard, clouded leopard, amur leapard (i'm not sure there are any in captivitaty), serval, other small feline spieces, salt water crocodile, chiense alligator, leucistic alligators, gorila, chimps, orangutanes,tamarins, squirel monkeys, capuchins, marmosets, titi monkeys, lemurs, wolfs, maned wolfs and some small lizards and snakes. alas, i dont have the resources.
 
kbaker116: Currently, I have a terrarium upstairs that houses 1:0 Carolina anole, 1:0 Asiatic long-tailed lizard and 1:0 Neon blue-tailed tree lizard. The other male Carolina anole lives in his own pad down in the kitchen, because he was getting quite viciously bullied by the 'upstairs' male (BTW, it was the fault of the pet shop that we got two males, because they thought that having the two biggest, most colourful lizards was a good idea :confused:)

Sounds like an interesting combination, thanks for sharing. Yeah males anoles can be pretty cruel to each other. I remember when my friend tried breeding his leos and was pretty much 100% that they were a male and a female turned out they were both males and did crazy barrel roles with each other. Luckily we were right their and nobody had any permanent damage done to them.

Welcome to Zoochat! I Amur Leopards are in captivity at least in the United States. That sounds a lot like Jungle Island in Miami, Florida. I would like to start a zoo. Hopefully one day I will. But I wouldn't give up on your dream just start small and maybe you can workup your way to the larger animals.
