Why reptiles? Why reptiles instead of an everyday traditional animal like a dog or a cat?

I’ve had dogs all my life. I don’t want another dog now. And I’ve had reptiles for so long and when you treat them right and you give them what they need it’s like having a dog or a cat.

Love’s a strong word but they’ve definitley got emotional capacity. They all just come and they just sit with me and it’s an amazing experience.

Imagine you weren’t allowed to keep reptiles. How would you feel? What’s your reaction? What would you do?

I’d be devastated and I don’t know what I’d do because they’re the reason I’m living at the moment.

Everything about my life is about reptiles. And sharing my experience and I don’t know, it’s the feeling you get just by sitting with them and just being in their presence. It’s just an amazing experience. To be so close to nature. That very few people get to have that experience. It’s just amazing.
