Eric - adult royal/ball python, had him since he was 9" long and he's the most chilled out, placid snake imaginable!
Chaz - Amal corn, just arrived and only 12" long ATM
Draco - Bearded Dragon, anceint old fella, about 10years old
Millie - Mexican Red Rumped tarantula
Morticia - Salmon Pink Tarantual (will grow to be a REALLY big girl :) )
Charlie - Chilean Beauty Tarantula, my "handle'able" spider

Dusty, how much is "not cheap"? I've been thinking about building my own rig for a camera, and the prices I've come up with are in the region of £10k.... Looks good though!

What camera? I'm only carrying a go pro. My rig would stand about £1100 but you can spend as you know 10k +

Oh, that was just the rig itself.... The camera is pretty hefty (6lb minumum recording weight) and rather expensive - in the area of about £6k for just the camera. Here's a stock picture:

The £10k esitmate was just for a rig that would allow me to fly it for about 15 minutes as well as seeing what/where I was filming.

Surely cost wise you'd be better off using a decent dslr with a good bit of glass? The saving in weight would mean you could presumably offset the cost of the camera with a cheaper rig and if anything goes wrong you haven't just wrecked a 6k camera.

Just a thought like...

You'd be needing seething like a DJI s800 for that.

funny thing is I actually have a dungeon - well, an atom bomb shelter - under my house, which I've never actually been into. I only found out where the entrance was after I re-did the hardwood floors, now I don't want to rip them back up again...
