Ben also points out the incubator on display, full of eggs. Kellyville breeds a large percentage of their reptile stock on the premises, and customers can watch the eggs developing. Responsible reptile owner- ship has always been part of Kellyville’s philosophy, and classes and lectures continue to be offered on a regular basis to keep customers informed. During our visit, a customer approaches Ben with a gift of a box of chocolates to say ‘thank you’ for his assistance and advice. We meet several other members of the team – all of whom seem to have an infectious enthusiasm. Hopefully the photos manage to convey some idea, but the revamped Kellyville reptile department is of the highest standard - a must see for anyone in the Sydney area interested in herps. Make sure you have time to look around, and say ’G’day’ to Ben and his team. 4. 3.
