Reptile Room Basenji Park

Thats how we got most of our stuff too, people see something they like and dont know how much work and money is envolved with keeping herps or fish for that matter. Plus the knowledge involved with houseing them correctly. Thats great that you too have rescued herps, most people dont give a damn about herps cause most of them arnt cute and cuddly.

I feel the same way. My husband and I did (ex-husband still does, since he's got the animals) many educational programs for the public. We are members of the local herp society and visited schools, nature centers, and anywhere that would have us to share our pets and our knowledge of reptiles. People are so ignorant regarding herps, and have such horrible misconceptions of these creatures. It was very fulfilling to prove them wrong and to actually watch them walk away with respect for those animals (even if just a little bit).
