Why do people keep reptiles?

We speak to keeper Angus, and Maureen and Clem from Snake Professional, about why reptiles are the perfect pet for them.

Why do you keep reptiles and not a normal pet like a cat or a dog or a hamster? Why reptiles?

I’m just really interested. I just think they’re really interesting and with my pet lizard he just loves scuttling around and he’s just really fun to keep.

Normal people we are not and hence why we deal with some different kind of animals which will then be reptiles.

For us because we do travel kind of a bit so if we would have a dog which is a social animal then yeah that would not work with snakes. Yeah we love that and they’re like very misunderstood. They definitley have an image problem.
