Thanks for asking. And thanks for the vote of confidence.
I bought my first herps while in college--Bio major in the 80's. For the first decade and a half I was only interested in lizards, ie iguanas, water dragons, mountain dragons, anoles, geckos. It wasn't until the advent of pre-killed frozen feeder rodents that I made the change over to snakes. At present I have a 5 year old male green iguana and a 2 year old male savanna monitor and nine snakes--two pythons (blood and carpet) rainbow boa, 4 kingsnakes, a cornsnake and a redtailed green ratsnake.
I was a licensed vet tech when I lived in California. While there I did an internship with a vet that specialized in birds and his partner that specialized in reptiles and fish. I completed the LA Zoo Zookeeper program. In college I lived on campus and was a student swineherd. I was involved in a few equine projects. That, and I continue to research, read and study.
