About the site moderater:
My name is James ,I'm 36, and live in South East Ga.. I've
been an avid herper since the age of 6 and have always been interested in wildlife, especially reptiles. Snakes are
my main interest, although I research many other varieties of reptiles and amphibians as well. I also enjoy wildlife photography with
the majority of the photographs on this site being mine.

These photos was taken in 1982 when I was featured on a Jacksonville, Florida Channel 12
news segment. I was at The Children's Museum of Arts and Science where they were taping for their Wednesday's Child segment
with Tom Wills. I got to handle one of the museum's Western Hognose snakes' named "Miss Piggy".

Venomous snakes, as with any other animal, can be unpredictable
and dangerous. Do not attempt to do what you see here- please leave to experienced professionals.
In loving memory of one of the greatest conservationalists
of our time. May his legacy live on for generations to come.
