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.
