One of them absolutely hates lizards, reptiles of any kind and snakes - hates them with a passion. I, on the other hand, love them and even certain snakes. My youngest son had snakes and sometimes would bring them in and place them on my bed when I would be reading. I never was afraid - in fact it was kind of fun to interact with them as well as having something in common with my kid. I'm thinking that's why my second son, hates reptiles. The youngest probably pulled some not so nice tricks on him.
As with birds, any time I am in a pet shop I photograph bearded dragons.
