When I tell old friends and family that I run a reptile shop they always take a step back and are like "really?" then it's either "why?!" or "great!!"

People either think it's stupid or fantastic! I think they all think I'm crazy though.

Everyone at work looks at me like I am some kind of freak for having two leos!!! If I talk about my cat, apparently, that's okay and perfectly normal, but the minute I start on the lizard-talk, their faces say it all.

'You're just odd'

'Why would you want them?'

'Creepy crawlies in the house?'

Blah blah......!!!!!!!!!

My other half humoured me for a couple of weeks before I got Jeff and Ripley, and then he fell in love with them and keeps talking about getting more and more and more! An easy convert!!! (so cute when he says good morning and good night to them every day! Haha!!!)
