You guys are lucky. Man, I wasn't even born back then... 65, 66. Coolest thing I remember was a pet store near Inglewood in the 70's w/ a squirrel monkey that bit. I chased bluebellies alot as a kid, saw a rattler or two from a distance (spent weekends down in San Bernardino), but never got to keep herps as pets cuz parents were afraid of them.
