Reptile keeper: Samuel

Reptile keeper, chill, knowledgeable, and myth-busting

Prompt: A chill, enthusiast male voice that keeps reptiles and loves educating the squeamish. His relaxed mid-tenor is laid-back and knowledgeable, calmly countering the 'ew' with genuine affection, geeking out over a gecko's personality like it's a golden retriever. There's an easygoing, myth-busting warmth to his tone. The sound of a keeper who wants you to understand his scaly friends aren't scary—they're just misunderstood, and honestly kind of adorable once you know them.

Script: Everybody's scared of these guys, and I get it—but watch. See how she just chills on my hand? No stress, totally calm. This is a leopard gecko. She's got more personality than most dogs I've met. Nocturnal, low maintenance, lives 15 years. People think reptiles are cold and creepy. Nah.
