Get excited Reptile fans.. But that’s not me. So, have you ever had that moment in life where you realize you are absolutely, 100%, officially outnumbered in your own house? Yeah, that’s me right now. I’ve never been what you’d call a “reptile guy.” I’m more of a comic books, superheroes, and things-that-don’t-slither kind of dude. But my daughter? Oh no, she LOVES reptiles.. Like, for real.
This girl once begged me for a pet gecko, and I’ll be honest, I gave in because those little guys are kinda cute. Big eyes. Sticky feet. Seems harmless. I thought that was the end of it, like, cool, she got her lizard phase out of the way.
But nope. Turns out that was just the origin story. Now reptiles are “her thing.” And when she found out Repticon’s ReptiDay was coming to Fort Myers, she looked at me with that “Dad, you know we’re going” face. So here we are. I’m mentally preparing. Probably stretching. Maybe doing push-ups. I don’t know…
