I work with a 47 year old vet tech, she hates snakes and one day I was trying to figure out why, she started talking about some bad experience with eels as a kid. After a while I got this thought, I asked her if she knew that eels weren't snakes. She was dumbfounded!! She didn't know they are fish and not reptiles.
Oh well.

:Ok...along with crested geckos I have leos, BP's, a corn and a tortoise. (Just a little background there.)

:My husband and I were watching Croc Diaries last night and someone on the show mentions that pythons have so many sets of ribs. My husband looks at me and says "I didn't think snakes had bones."

:I slapped my forehead...out of all the people in my life I expected HIM to know a little bit more about reptiles. Just goes to show you can never stop educating ANYONE.
