About the Author Jillian Robinson is an avid animal lover and a vet assistant in training with dreams of becoming a registered veterinarian technician. Born and raised in sunny San Diego, California, she attended San Diego Mesa College to attain an Associate’s Degree in English Literature and Writing.

In this comprehensive guide, you will experience Jillian’s special love for all things reptilian in each enthusiastic sentence. Through her passionate prose, she invites readers to share in her excitement as she explores and explains how to create your own little slice of Nature. Jillian’s love of reptiles started in her early years when she watched Godzilla 1954 for the first time. From that moment on, she was enamored by all things scaly and lacertilian. Though she was never allowed a pet reptile as a child, the drive to eventually own one never faded. Only as an adult would she finally achieve her childhood dream.
