“What do you mean?” Joe asked.

Spiker looked at Joe as if he was a moron. “They save abandoned pets! Some people don’t want them when they get bigger. Or they don’t look after them properly. So Reptile Rescue finds them new homes. Most of Harley’s creatures come from there. He’s just looking after them till they find permanent homes.”

Joe looked around. It was strange to think these cool creatures were all unwanted pets.

“I’m gonna help the rescue group, too, when I’m old enough,” Spiker said proudly.

“So what happened to Thor?” Joe asked.

Spiker looked embarrassed. “Harley’s away for a few days on a training course. Me and Dad are looking after the animals for him. It’s pretty easy. I can manage most of them myself. But I’m not allowed to touch the snakes without Dad.”

“Then how did Thor escape?”

Spiker shrugged. “Thor’s my favourite. I only had him out for five minutes. I must have forgotten to put the brick on the lid of his vivarium when I put him back.”

“And he pushed his way out?” asked Joe.

“Don’t tell my parents! They’ll never let me get a snake of my own if they find out!”

“Haven’t they noticed?”

“No. Mum doesn’t like the reptiles so she never comes in here and Dad trusts me. The snakes don’t need to be fed every day…”

Joe nodded. He remembered reading that on the internet.

“Most of the time Dad just pops his head in and checks the sheet.” Spiker pointed to a clipboard lying on the bed. “Harley makes me tick a feeding and care sheet for them all.” Spiker frowned. “Anyway, we’re gonna find Thor, aren’t we! We’ve got to,” growled Spiker, “or Harley will kill me!”
