Fun confession of the day. When we got Benny, I was afraid to hold him. Told my husband it was his job to do everything and I would just care for the dogs and our fosters...
I had never before touched a reptile unless you count the little lizards that lived on my Grandparents rock wall. I tried to catch one once, I was around 6, and caught one but I had grabbed the tail and it was still moving. That was the only and last time I tried to catch one or touch any other reptile.
Move forward to now. I adore Benny and my husband makes jokes because I handle him almost everyday and have him out the most.
So Benny is my first love and I am very happy about it.
