I'm looking forward to being a contributing member when possible. Mostly assuming I will be receiving way more knowledge then giving.

I am a lifelong snake lover. Started looking for snakes as a young boy. Liked to catch , admire and release.

I have kept mostly constrictors as a kid but got interested in venomous a little later on.

My interest is in all snakes but I favor rattlesnakes out of all of them.

Incredible animals. I now dedicate my time in trying to do my part in protecting them. By offering Free Snake Removal in my area I get a lot of calls. Otherwise people would kill them over the expense of removing them with a professional service. ( I've noticed most professionals aren't really that at all. And they get mad that I'm taking business from them. But for me it's about the snakes not the money )

Thanks for letting me be part of this community.

I spend time between my place in Colombia and here in the USA .

Hello!

I absolutely love that you remove rattlesnakes for free and save them from being killed. They're such beautiful creatures and it's a shame when I see people want to kill them. I wish more people understood them, that they're not evil and malicious.

Wow! Rattlesnakes are definitely a snake to be admired, as are you for saving these beautiful creatures. Have you ever considered getting a hognose snake? I hear they are actually loosely related to the rattlesnake and their scales are very similar as well. I would say it's as close as you could get to feeling a rattlesnake as safe as possible, but in your work I guess that wouldn't really be true.
