Some people are fascinated by them. Others experience abject fear at the sight of one. The Chinese calendar celebrated them in 2013 as thoughtful, wise and focused on detail.

My guest is Dr. Elliott Jacobson, professor emeritus at the University Of Florida School Of Veterinary Medicine. He has spent his veterinary career advancing the health and welfare of captive and wild reptile and amphibians.
