Since I was a child pets always have been part of my life and I can not imagine being without them. In the beginning it have been very common species like a dog and guinea pigs, but later I started keeping insects, reptiles, fishes, birds and so on as well (not all at the same time).
Because of this passion it was basically obvious that I will start my work life in that same direction, so I moved out from home when I was 18 to become a zookeeper, which I did successfully 🙂
How did I get into snakes?
My first Corn Snake was not really planned, it was a spontaneous rescue.
It was an adult wildtype male that I got incl. his terrarium.
A few months later I got 2 adult females which of course lived separate from the male.
The fascination for snakes totally got me, so later on I got more and more of them during the years, also other species (always non venomous), mostly colubrids.
After some years of gaining knowledge and experience and learning all about morph genetics, I started buying certain morphs for breeding projects and eventually started breeding, mainly Corn Snakes, but also a few other colubrid species.
