Original Toronto Star caption: Pet-Lover Peter Smirlies; 15; of Yorkview Dr.; North York says reptiles such as snakes and iguanas (pictured) are becoming more popular in Metro homes. His collection includes 14 mice; 12 snakes; four lizards; three goldfish; a gerbil; a rabbit and a rat. He also keeps some rats to feed the snakes. Peter would like to have even more pets but says his parents probably can't find any more room for them in house.
