I have to disagree, while I do agree that they need educated people taking care of their herps, in my opinion the more exposure young children and people in general get with reptiles in general the better. I don't see some random mom+kid walking into a snake breeders home/facilities just to see, however lots of kids and people in general go into pet shops and look at all the fluffy/slithery aminals behind the glass barriers. If they educated staff more regarding the specific needs of the creatures in their possession that would solve allot of the problems we seam to be having.
