Snakes/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions regarding habitat, feeding, and care. Picking the right snake for you. A snake thats fits your space and expectations. The raising and handling of your pet. The characteristics most of them display (though they all have their own personality). I can also help with questions regarding egglaying and or the husbandry of these eggs. I can also help you with identification of a species if necessary.
Experience in the area
I find that these are very misunderstood creatures but, can be very loyal and loving. I have worked in the petcare industry for around 20 years now. I do take unwanted snakes in and find suitable homes quite often. I personally have a 14 foot rare burmese. His name is Issac. I have had him since he was not even a foot long. He had to be force fed which I highly recommend not to do unless absolutely necessary. He weighs in at 120 lbs. He is about 10 years old now. I also have two ball pythons. I call them humpty and dumpty ...lol I adopted a couple years ago.
Education/Credentials
I have 20 years of dealing with all kinds of creatures on a daily basis. Reptiles and turtles are my specialty. I have a science background in college. People say my thing is fish but, my passion is turtles. Another misunderstood reptile!!!!!
