When my offspring were first brought into this world I was still in the retail reptile business with my own store. At one point I had thousands of snakes, lizards, and other creatures.

Never had a single problem. They were in and out of cages, handled the animals from the time they were old enough to want to and helped as much as they could with as much as I'd let them.

Still got them all. Still all healthy. Been over 20 years now.
