I generally enjoy educating people about reptiles. Although I think it funny when people are genuinely scared of a species of reptile I try to just laugh in my head and focus on giving the person facts. I get great satisfaction after talking with someone and having them walk away with realistic knowledge about reptiles.

Q. Can they bite?

A. Yes, but so can dogs, cats, and blondes, that doesn't mean they will on a regular basis, if at all.

I have had reptiles in my life for over 20 years and have yet to get bitten. My time is coming...
