“Reptiles aren’t nearly as demanding as other pets,” says Eden’s Reptile co-founder Ernie Rowntree
That’s the motto Eden’s Reptiles co-founders Ernie and Ruth Rowntree live by every day.
He and his wife Ruth keep track of the animals’ eating, shedding, and excrement patterns to make sure they’re all staying healthy. But it’s not just their basic needs that are being looked after. The couple recently started an outreach and education program so residents of all ages can visit their home to interact with and learn about the reptiles.
The Rowntrees have expressed their disappointment with the city’s current regulations that do not allow residents to own certain reptiles like the boas and constrictors.
