Yep, I'm a total minnow. Learning, but at times it seems like a new language.
But we share a passion.
I like snakes.
I have 35 years under my belt as a professional field herpetologist, finding and responsibly relocating problem snakes for clients. Mostly in Texas, but for a big commercial interest, my tongs and I will fly anywhere.
I've also been an entertainer/educator/humorist for 25 years. My show and my company are called Snake Encounters.
Mostly for kids (to an eight-year-old, I'm a rockstar) but I also do corporate events and love to talk to adult crowds too. The more phobic, the better. I specialize in The Truly Petrified - and I have a better track record helping people overcome Ophidiophobia than any shrink.
I have arguably stopped more native snake species from dying than anyone in the USA.
I do that by using comedy and magic (both topical to the subject) to help tell my story. Namely, stop killing snakes. And while you're at it, there are a lot of other non-human things that don't need to be killed.
Please consider me, Poeticsnake.
