Because I'm crazy, with serious mental issues. I stare at my snakes all day and KNOW that I couldn't live without them.
Oh, my bad. That was a recent airing of an Animal Plant show.............
Seriousness, I do love reptiles. They are amazing creatures and absolutley fascinating to watch grow, breed, have babies ( either live birth or eggs ). I've learned patience from having these guys as pets ( though I have NO self control. Always buying another) And watching my children grow up with an understanding and respect for reptiles ( and all creatures ) is something that I am proud of. And honestly, how can you not look at a morph and say "Dang, that's freaking cool!!"
