	What do you think about snakes as pets? I've always had snakes, and I always will. As a responsive pet, they definitely don't rank but humans have had a fascination with snakes since the time of Adam and Eve. Many children feel this fascination and want to keep a snake of their own which is discouraged by most parents. Any interest on a child's part, in taking care of any living thing, should always be encouraged, as it could only help in making your child a more humane adult. Taking care of snakes, though, is a lot of work, so don't buy a snake unless you're prepared to take care of it in the correct manner and are willing to spend the money to provide the environment that it needs.

My Iguana has a swollen jaw and his front legs are also swollen, he looks like Popeye! What can I do? Your Iguana is suffering from a lack of calcium in his diet. I don't know what you are feeding him but you must sprinkle a phosphorus free calcium supplement such as Rep-Cal over his food every time he eats.
