   Reptiles and amphibians are collectively known as herptiles. The wondrous diversity of these many creatures has intrigued and fascinated people since the beginning of time.

   Reptiles have been a part of many culture's folklore for many generations. The evil reputation of snakes began in the Garden of Eden. On the other hand, the snake entwined around the Greek god of healing, Aesculapius, has become a symbol of health, hygiene, and medicine.

   In the last few years, herptiles have seen an explosion of interest as pets. The recent interest has continued to develop the hobby with an increased knowledge of breeding techniques and general herptile care.
