I think part of the fun of having a reptile is believing that they have higher emotions, especially with one or just a few reptiles. If my house was burning down and I had time to grab one thing, I would grab my BP. I get what the OP is saying although I think it's a tad extreme.
One a side note, why did he get an infraction for this thread. It would prob be good if this was moved to the Quarantine Room.
I just went back through all the posts - no one got an infraction for this thread - where do you get that from?
