"Growing up my family had all kinds of pets; but my mom always had a passion for iguanas and other 'different' pets like rats and Madagascar hissing cockroaches. I grew up thinking they were no different than having a dog or cat but I learned quickly that a lot of people were scared of reptiles and had a lot of misconceptions about them (including my dad).

 

In 10th grade I realized I wanted to work with animals, in college that I wanted to run my own business, and after completing an internship with American Alligators the idea of Reptile Cove was born.

 

My familys' love for reptiles, and passion for teaching people all about these amazing creatures is what started all of this and we hope that you'll develop the same appreciation for them that we have!"
