All kinds of pets benefit our health.

[Catherine]

We know that cats and dogs benefit our health. It seems that studies show that other pets have the same benefits.
Different people want different pets. Different circumstances make alternative pets more suitable.

I guess it says something about the person when you look at the pet they have.
Snakes and other reptiles are not specifically mentioned, but neither are they excluded. So I am going to assume this works for reptile pets. I won't even speculate about what it says about me that I love reptile pets. I don't need fuzzy, but I do like colour.
