This week I return to my occasional series on people who do unusual jobs.
Last time it was a tripe shop owner and now it’s a herpetoculturist, which is a person who cares for or breeds reptiles and amphibians – and it isn’t really a job, it’s a calling.
Jordan, who works at Tyrannosaurus Pets in Kirkstall Road, Leeds, went down the reptile path about nine years ago, when he was aged 12 and his father brought him a snake.
This turned out to be a very smart move because 12 is a turning-point age and an interest in reptiles can mitigate against any tendency to drugs, poor dress-sense, aggravated sulking or looting.
So Jordan went on to become a most amiable and efficient herpetoculturist, dispensing advice and essential supplies to customers of Tyrannosaurus Pets.
I visited the shop on a freezing midweek day this week, when the customers were not only more numerous then you would expect but also – because I’ve always thought an interest in reptiles rather suspect in a David Icke-y sort of way – more normal.

It's far too early to claim this relocation of reptiles was a success Because lizards are common, there's loads of them, who cares if a there are few less.
