It strikes me as funny how most people actually think all reptiles are poisonous. I took my baby Argentine B&W ( cholo ) to my sons class to show the kids and parents. Well as soon as i pulled him out all the parents grabbed there children and held them tight. I tried to reassure them that hes fine, but they were adamant that he would bite their child and they would die.
It wasn't until my son was letting cholo ( my tegu ) crawl up and down his arm and shoulder that they allowed their children to get with in 10 ft of him.
It strikes me that so many people still think this way. Sad really. Well education is the best way to fight ignorance :grno
