therapy

hey i have an idea. u know how they have therapy dogs and cats. they should also use reptiles like leos and beardies as therapy lizards. i would only use them because they like or torlerate handling best.
Just a thought.

There was an article in Reptiles about a therapy Burmese python. Unfortunately, the Delta Society, an organization that coordinates therapy animals, accepts only 'domesticated' animals. Strangely that includes parrots but not ferrets...

You'd think a "domesticated" animal would be anything that, say, you could sell in a PET STORE! Wow.. some people just can't open their minds to the fact that reptiles can be just as loving as a dog or a cat. PLUS, most of them LIVE LONGER!!! Hehehehe...
