"My mom is allergic to cats and dogs, and I've always really, really loved animals. I'd take in animals all the time and try to hide them in my room. When I was old enough, I got a job at a local family owned pet store and started my love for reptiles. I could have them without my mom breaking down into endless fits of sneezing, and they always tugged at my heart strings. So many people are afraid of them, and they're so misunderstood like I was. So that's how I got into them."
