not sure if this is out of date or not? just looked on the rspca site and there seems to be no ongoing campaigns against reptile keeping.
this was an interesting point that i found on a link(out of date also but still relevent)

The recent report from the RSPCA, "Handle with Care", also puts the issues of "exotic" pet keeping into perspective. In 2003 the RSPCA rescued or re-homed 25,000 dogs out of a population of 6.5 million animals but in the same period rescued or re-homed only 2,500 exotics (total, not just reptiles) out of a population of 5 million companion reptiles alone. This would suggest that keepers of so-called exotic pets are likely to be more responsible and knowledgeable than dog owners.
