Whenever someone visits, they're bound to comment on how my reptiles look "just like dinosaurs", but this isn't quite the truth: reconstructed dinosaurs look like reptiles, not the other way round.
Why does this matter? It matters because an assumption that reptiles are a relic from a bygone era (combined with the widely-held misnomer that evolution is a process of progression towards superiority) leads to the belief that reptiles are necessarily unintelligent creatures which act only in response to instincts. This, in turn, fails to support proper welfare.
Reptiles aren't prehistoric pets and snake racks shouldn't be the hobby standard.
