I'll be in England in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to look at the reptiles people have over there :) I was amazed last time I was there and I'm sure I'll be suitably amazed again.

I've found a lot of young kids tend to stretch the truth slightly. What they say they do and what actually do are usually worlds apart. It's not lying, it's being a teenager :)

Funny question if you're asking about reptile generically ;)

I feed my snakes only preservative free rats. When I had lizards, only fresh vegetables and live insects (commercially purchased).

I'd turn a blind eye and keep a friend. I personally think a friendship is far more than ANY reptile.
