Reptiles & More Rescue Information: Reptiles are interesting animals. Many types of reptiles and amphibians are kept as exotic pets. Snakes, turtles, iguanas, and frogs are popular examples. Keeping a reptile as a pet is a tremendous responsibility. Many reptile owners discover that owning a reptile is not as rewarding as they had hoped. Reptiles do not bond with people the way mammals can, and are sometimes neglected for that reason.
Reptiles & More Trivia: The word Reptile comes from the Latin Repere, which means to creep. The breeding or keeping of reptiles is called Herpetoculture. Some kinds of turtles can live to be over 100 years old. The largest Burmese Python in captivity weighs over 400 pounds and is about 27 feet long.
