But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
To me, you will be unique in all the world.
To you, I will be unique in all the world...
You will become responsible forever for what you have tamed.

Did you know?....
According to the American Veterinarian Association, there are now about 2.8 million reptile pets in American homes, including turtles, snakes and lizards. This
is based on the last census done in 2001.
However, according to a 2009 Survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturing
Association, there are now 13.6 million reptile pets in American homes!
(Does that mean that 10 + million reptile pets never see a vet? If so,
come on you responsible herp owners, make sure you arekeeping your herps happy and healthy with regular veterinary visits!)
