Just wanted to share my fun day at work! (Technically just volunteering, but I go in every Saturday and it's just easier to call it work lol) For context I work at a small reptile shop, and I clean, feed, and water most of the residents there! Today was really exciting because I got to hold one of my dream lizards, an Argentine Black and White Tegu! Her name is Stella and she loves to be cradled like a baby, its honestly adorable!

I also got to see the tiniest baby bearded dragons I've ever seen (they had just recently hatched) along with having a gorgeous red bearded dragon relax on my shoulder as I cleaned cages. And a special mention, me and two coworkers got to get a good laugh at letting a ball python explore the desk by the cash register (we hadn't opened yet)!

Just wanted to share this, but I'm more than happy to continue a discussion about reptiles/any other "creepy" pets such as spiders and others! :)

Fair, I can understand people finding them scary, I used to be pretty intimidated to hold most larger reptiles despite loving them from just not having interactions with them. Though while working here, I've become comfortable with holding and interacting with the larger reptiles, as it mainly comes down to body language and having a level of respect and trust with them! I'm a full believer that reptiles can show affection and have attachments with people! Apologies if this comes off as rude or insensitive, I'm just trying to share my side as someone who has a deep love for pets/animals that get a bad reputation! :]

Oh my god I love snakes so much, they have the cutest ball pythons there and this resident corn snake that loves to chill around shoulders as you walk around 😭 I wish I could have a snake but I just don't have the space in my room AUGH
