Reptile Limmeriks..  Hello. Post your original reptile limmeriks here. These are a few I just composed. I’ll submit more later. Have fun!This is my Ball Python, Laike, He is an intelligent snake. I’ve taught him to fetch, Play dead, and play catch, But I can’t seem to get him to shake. I am a herp emeritus. I feed my herps common brown rattus. I once made the mistake Of housing a snake With a sweet Scalopera undulatus. My Corn Snakes, Willie and Fred, Their skins they like to shed. I reach in and take it, Knead it and bake it, And make it into corn (snake) bread. Has anyone seen my friend Rhonda? She recently swallowed a Honda. She’s the single most baddest, Biggest, and fastest, Meanest old Green Anaconda. Woohoo!

Reptile Limericks..  Thanks, thanks. ’Sceloporus undulatus’ is how it is actually spelled, apparently. It is the Latin name for the Eastern Fence Lizard, a rough-skinned little lizard with a bright blue underbelly.

Nice!  Hey hey, nice limericks everyone! Keep them coming.I am the Green Lizard King, And danger to insects I bring. I’m crawling through thickets Searching for crickets And the crickety songs that they sing. Of all the world’s myriad fauna, There’s nothing quite like the iguana. But you must understand That they hail from a land With a climate that’s much like a sauna. If you’ve been known to fraternize With a snake of incredible size, Please let me mention You must pay attention If he gives you those ’hungry eyes.’ I’m the most beautiful boa you’ve seen. My scales cast a colorful sheen, Except when I’m shedding Or buried in bedding. But you snake lovers know what I mean. Heh heh. Here you go. More please!

My rowdy non-limerick.  Like my new python-skin boot? And my new alligator-skin suit? I’m sorry to say This won’t end in a way That makes any kind of rhythm or rhyme since I really feel that people like the one alluded to at the beginning of this otherwise fine poem ought to be killed for their meat and for their worthless hides. Oh, but to continue: Wouldn’t that be a hoot?Poach the poachers! (Unless they’re only poaching eggs.)

Reject limericks.  I went to the pet store and bought a Snake that I shouldn’t have ought’a. I won’t let the cat in. My snake’s name in Latin Is Elaphe guttata guttata.Sorry about that last one- pretty awkward. Fun, though. A silly little lizard really liked to lope His silly little way along a gentle grassy slope. It took him half an hour To make it to the shower. It’s hard to clean a lizard when you haven’t any soap.

The People-Eating Barnborbus and the Mighty Allgorbus  Heh heh.Allgorbus to Barnby said, "I’d like to see you in my bed." Barnborbus to Al replied, "Not even over my dead hide!" To this the Mighty Al did cry, "I’d love to peek upon your thigh.." But Barnby wouldn’t quench his thirst. "You jerk! You have to kiss me first!" And kiss they did. And then they hid. Beneath a rock. To smooch and talk. Allgorbus and Barnborbus were walking arm in arm, When they came upon the cutest baby human breeding farm. Barnborbus bought Mighty Al the cutest little two, And said, "Let’s open up a baby human petting zoo."

More poorly-metered limericks for herpophiles  I knew a lovely pair of Crocs Who bought a matching pair of socks. But the socks that they bought Gave the poor pair claw rot So the socked Crocs saw a pair of Doc’s.An unlucky little lizard Was caught out in a blizzard. He found that he’d lost His tail to the frost, And developed a frost-bitten gizzard. This limerick beguiles Poetic herpophiles. You’ll notice the meter Is perfect for breeders Of reptiles with lopsided smiles. (Ouch. Sorry.)

Reptile Limericks to put your herp to sleep..  Everyone here loves the Uro- Mastix and watches him burrow In plastic containers Held by his trainers Watching him digging his furrows.My Emerald Boa named Blanch Hangs from her favorite branch. She gets all the action In my road-side attraction, ’The Emerald Tree Boa Ranch.’ I brought this little lizard fella’ Home but then I noticed yella’ Goo in my eye. I hope I don’t die. I believe I have caught Salmonella. A pretty little lizard said, "I think it’s time for me to shed!" Her skin fell aside Revealing a hide Gorgeous from tail to head. My yard is full of dinosaurs. I have six hundred fifty-four. Next week I’m importing Nine hundred and forty. And then I’ll receive even more.

Reptile Limericks to put your herp to sleep..  Of Sketch, my foster, I will tell... He looks as though he’s been through hell... His skin is so terribly rough... for humidity he had not enough! I’ll try my best to make him well.Though he’s undersized, he will not eat... niether frozen/thawed nor fresh killed meat. Very small is his girth, and the cleft palate he’s had since birth. But flaws & all....he just can’t be beat. Betadine or peroxide baths they say, so I try these every other day. Polysporin helps the skin to soften, but I’m careful not to use that too often. Someday soon may he shed it all away.

Fantastic!  I set to bathing in my sink My pretty little blue-tailed skink. Because he’s carnivorous, He’s rather odiferous. And that means that I think that he stinks!If you see me attempting to catch A python to add to my batch, Genetically speaking It means that I’m tweaking The genes of an upcoming hatch. The snake coils up on its scutes, While bamboo stands tall on its shoots. Dogs on their paws, And cats on their claws, And trees on their far-reaching roots. Oh my my my. Will someone please post some more? Or should we start a ’General Animal Limerick Thread?’ (Or should I just cool it on the poetry? Heh heh.)

Fantastic!  You are sweet, ’Lita. Ummmm.. Ah.I finally bought a Lizard Frilled And truly was extremely thrilled Until I did count The total amount That the so-and-so breeder had billed. Look at my fine Uromastix. I really do think he’s fantastic! But he pulls out the strings Of my long underwear, And leaves all my things completely threadbare And even chews up the elastic. (I don’t know if that last one qualifies as a limerick.)

Fantastic!  Lol! I’m back with more!!!I saw this weird looking Snake, It looked completly fake! With Crystal and Sandstone, Fruit that was hand-grown, and even a part of a rake!!!! One day when I was cleaning cages, I flipped the manny, many pages of my Herping Products Book, so I could find a hook. Boy!! Did that take ages!?!?!?!?! I was starting to break, down the leaf piles with my rake. I then heard a scream, and I started to beam! For there on the grass was my Snake! I was happy to sit on the grass, and just let all the time pass. I then saw a Garter, That I later named Sarter, Eat a piece of a bass. NOTE: Bass-The fish LGL
