I have to agree with the overall mood. He sounds like a controller, while my husband doesnt care for reptiles at all, and he even has the excuse that I didnt own any when we got together, <I was dead broke, but thats another story> I have four bp's now.

As stated earlier you are an attractive girl, move up and move on. You can do WAY better.
