What makes reptiles the best pets ever??!! Well, on the practical side, they don’t cost much to buy or keep. You don’t need to walk them, board them or worry about expensive vet bills. But those of us who are passionate herpers just find them fascinating. Come meet my menagerie: Mango, the blue tongue skink, Poppy, the spiny tail lizard, Miss Piggy, the western hognose snake and Pretty Boy, the corn snake. I’ll tell you a little about them while they “perform” for the camera, but mostly just answer your questions. For children – and adults! – of all ages.
