Because it&#8217;s not just butterflies. There are reptiles! There are gigantic roaches! There are crazy toxic colored frogs! And, there is PORKCHOP! Oh Porkchop&#8230; I asked a year or so ago if I could buy him or take him home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, well, he&#8217;s getting old and mean,&#8221; they told me. He didn&#8217;t even poke his face out for me to press my face up against the glass of his aquarium and make kissy faces. Porkchop is a Columbian Tegu. I have realized that I dig reptiles. They are just so cool. And if you think they don&#8217;t &#8220;feel&#8221; you should have seen Petey.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The reptiles and things other than butterflies at Magic Wings, are cast offs. Somebody gets a Komodo Dragon and then balks. Poor Petey. He was left in a cage and suffered from neglect and solitude. He received no love or touch or socialization. When I met him he scurried right up to his stuffed teddy bear and clutched it. (I have to say, this broke my heart.)<\/p>\n<p>I should have offered to take Petey home instead. Instead, on that visit I was all despairing of Porkchop not coming out to see me.<\/p>\n<p>Reptiles are not hard and scaley, at least not the ones I&#8217;ve touched. Oh, Delilah&#8230; she was not a bearded dragon but some other kind of dragon. Something frilly. A fringed dragon? Is that a reptile?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\r\n            <style type='text\/css'>\r\n                #gallery-1 {\r\n                    margin: auto;\r\n                }\r\n                #gallery-1 .gallery-item {\r\n                    float: left;\r\n                    margin-top: 10px;\r\n                    text-align: center;\r\n                    width: 33%;\r\n                }\r\n                #gallery-1 img {\r\n                    border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\r\n                }\r\n                #gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\r\n                    margin-left: 0;\r\n                }\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\r\n            <\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='ut-wp-gallery-lightbox-on gallery galleryid-299 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item gallery-item-with-lightbox'>\r\n                <dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                    <a data-exthumbimage=\"https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372.jpg\" href='https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Jackson&#039;s Chameleon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8372.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\r\n                <\/dt>\r\n                    <dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                    Here is my favorite photo of the Jackson&#8217;s Chameleon. 2015\r\n                    <\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item gallery-item-with-lightbox'>\r\n                <dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                    <a data-exthumbimage=\"https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383.jpg\" href='https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"A Columbian Tegu\" srcset=\"https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/susanslattery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/MagicWings2015-8383.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\r\n                <\/dt>\r\n                    <dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption'>\r\n                    And here he is, my baby.
