Here are some pictures of my 7 year old niece, Meghan, who adores my reptiles.
Shayna, the albino spider BP is her favorite, as yellow is her favorite color (and they have known each other since Meghan was 2). Behira (Ghost BCI) is now a close second and Meghan cannot wait until she gets "HUGE!"
I was literally a foot or two away when she handled the snakes and Frank, and she is getting good at redirecting them herself or with my prompting.
I think it's very important to educate and expose youngsters to reptiles and let them grow up curious and interested, instead of scared or nervous.
Please post pictures of your kids, friends kids, nieces, nephews, etc. with reptiles!
Without further ado, here's Meghan!
