About Me:

I received my bachelors degree in wildlife science with an emphasis in herpetology from the University of Arizona in 2006. I have been working with reptiles on research projects and for fun and education for over 15 years. My fascination with reptiles began as a young child growing up in rural Florida, capturing and interacting with them at any given opportunity.  My grandmother bought me my first ball python, Cleopatra, at the age of 8. She is still with me today and helps me to educate, entertain and hopefully inspire anyone interested in learning more about these beautiful and amazing animals.
