3.) Diet, Vitamins, supplements etc.. and where do you buy your diet
4.) Accessories, toys
5.) How do you handle them (gloves, long sleeves, masks), and how often do you handle them (do you take them with you to the mall,car, office etc..)
6.) Who's your vet
7.) Your owned reptile pet history

You can add more info if you like.

Here's an example:

Mexican Green Iguana

1 .) I use normal sunlight as I think the Philippines climate is perfect for them
2.) I have an approx 5x3x7 ft cage. Chicken wires lang. Naay platform for him to bask under the sun. Open ra, kung mu uwan mabasa ra sad siya but he can go under the platform for shade. the cage is slighly elevated mga 5 inches from the ground, so there poo just goes down to the grass and soil below, when it rains, ma wash down ra to the soil so no cleaning needed.
3.) Earlie I bought vitamins from the states to mix with there food, pero wala nagamit. I feed them a mix of veggies and a few fruits, calabasa, kangkong, carrots, papaya. Ilang favorite kay Calabasa gyud.
4.) I use to have leash specially made for the iguana, but I lost it wa gyud nagamit. I also used to have a hot rock, which you have to plug in to make it be warm. Pero wala magamit sad, same for the hot mat for the aquarium. I dont think we need all of that here coz our climate is warm already. No toys.
5.) Before when they were younger, I handled them always, kuyug siya nako wherever I go, but when I got busy with work na byaan na gyud cya sa cage. When he basks on the top deck, naay door opening man, so I open it and just pet him lang, thats it.
6.) Before nakoy vet katung akong first green iguana named "Spud", did2 sa mabolo to cya, pero i dont think he still there. Karun wala nako vet
7.) I had a green iguana names spud as I have mentioned, then sold him to my aunt who fell in love with him nya nakabuhi did2 sa puntang engano Then I got a snake, burmese python did2 sa mandaue but na accidente, we were giving her a bath then he soaked down nya naa man soap, just as I was about to grab her, my sister stopped me and said ok rana coz they can hold their breat under water but after she got out, a few minutes later she died Sigh.. luoy kayo, mahal pa gyud to. Then I decided never to go python again, kay hadluk ko inig dagko dili na nako ma handle. So a friend of mind who also bought a green iguana in manila gave his green iguana to me, this is the one I still have now. I got inspired by him that I bought another baby one. They looked so cute together, then I saw a sailfin dragon downtown nga nipalit sa ko. So there were three of them in one cage. They been living along fine for about 4 years now. Then a mishap happend just this year, i moved out of my parents house but had to leave them there coz wala pay lugar sa akong house, nangita pako. Na buslut daw ilang cage kay nataya gamay, My sailfin and younger ig escaped, the sailfin being fast ni escape gyud, the green igs arent that fast and nakitan daw nila sa road, murag naligsan Luoy kaayo...sigh... they called me up and my nephew placed it in a box and brought it to my house.. I couldnt do anything anymore, it was still slightly breather but coudlnt move..

So I have one left which I mite trade for a bearded dragon or keep and get him a partner

I love reptiles. Probably from watching too much "V" before and loving it when they eat rats
