“So many reptiles are bought as first pets for children as they appear to be easy and low maintenance. Reptiles are complex creatures with unique anatomy and physiology. They are so different from mammals. Reptiles have an amazing propensity to suffer. They do not communicate with words, do not bark or scream, and have no facial expression.”
