I think every section has their favourites, like with geckos, it used to be all about leopards, but now cresteds have stole lot of their thunder.

Me, I'm a turtle and tort guy, though I think your wrong about the fanaticism coming from being told turtles are cute(ever seen a 150lb alligator snapper?), but instead I think it has to do with their difficulty to keep. Aquatics especially, require relatively complex enclosures compared to most snakes. A rack of sweater boxes with heat tape underneath just won't do it.
I also love my S American parrots, and my little male western hog too.
