I had to do 3 years of begging and researching and begging again. Waiting sucks. But get everything read, and put a toy lizard in the tank. Makes you feel better. Then start getting the next tank or 2 ready. You just know you're going to need it.

Spend your time doing research and reading this site. You will learn a ton of things that never would have occurred to you and be that much better of a keeper when your buddy arrives. :D

The worst thing about getting a BTS is when you realize one isn't enough!
The Humane Society took Michael Vick's pit bulls, asked for public money to help them, then decided it would be best to kill them... adopt from No Kill shelters http://www.roas.petfinder.com

•Blue - Northern BTS
•Severus - Silver Tanny
•Cheyenne - Pit Bull/Lab
•Sunny - Pit Bull/Beagle
•Gryffin & Tucker - Kitties
