Expert Profile: Eric Rovegno

Expertise: I can answer questions regarding Ball Pythons and other python and boa species. I can reply to questions about, their environment, health, deceases, breeding, and housing. I can also answer questions about other pythons and boas, but my expertise is in the Python Regius or Royal Python, better known as the Ball Python.

Experience in the area
My experience is as a snake owner and breeder. I have owned reptiles for nearly twelve years. My experience is more on Ball Pythons, but can usually answer questions about other reptile species.

Organizations
The Maine Herpetology Society

Education/Credentials
I believe that my at home experience as well as the hours of research I have done about the Ball Python is training enough. As mentioned before I can answer questions about Pythons and Boas, but my expertise lies within the Ball Pythons. This is why I created a website geared for ball python owners or future owners. www.ballpythonplanet.com

What do you like about this subject? To me helping people understand their new or existing pets is a reward and even helps me to keep a constant grip on my experiences with these amazing creatures.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject When someone asks me where I should by a snake from, I tell them a breeder online. Allot of pet stores purchase their animal’s imported. Too much risk is involved with this, mites, internal parasites and so forth. Take care in your decision; it could cost you allot of money and grief.
