Malaysian reptile enthusiast Yap Ming Yang hopes visitors to his pet-friendly cafe will learn to appreciate snakes and lizards as much as they do furrier creatures such as dogs and cats.
馬來西亞爬蟲類愛好者葉明陽（音譯）希望，來到他開的寵物友善咖啡店的顧客，將學會欣賞蛇類和蜥蜴，就像他們愛護狗、貓等毛小孩一樣。
Bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and corn snakes are among the species resting in glass tanks stacked around Yap’s cafe on the outskirts of Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, species he says are commonly bred in the country.
在葉老闆開設於馬來西亞首都吉隆坡郊區的咖啡店內，待在堆疊排放的玻璃箱中休息的爬蟲類有鬃獅蜥、豹紋壁虎和玉米蛇等。他說，在他的國家，這些都是經常被人飼養的物種。
Customers, including children, hold and pet the scaly animals while ordering drinks and food.
小孩在內的顧客一邊懷抱及撫弄這些有鱗片的動物，一邊點飲料和食物。
"People only care about furry animals, but always leave out reptiles. So I hope showing the public how interesting (they) are, we can cause them to have a better outlook on reptiles and less loved animals." said Yap.（Reuters）
葉老闆說：「人們只在乎毛小孩，總是遺忘爬蟲類。所以我希望藉由向大眾展示（牠們）有多好玩，能讓他們對爬蟲類及比較不受喜愛的動物產生更友善的想法。」（路透）
