I agree, the number of times a photo of a really common or obvious reptile gets posted and most people haven't a clue is amazing. That's not really a criticism but because we have become very insular in our thinking it means we often don't even want to know about overseas animals which is a great shame.
I feel the same when exotics get mentioned people say our animals are the best, if you don't like them then live somewhere else, I have actually heard that said. To me it's just variety.
