Someone: why don’t you charge for snake removal or educational services?
Me: well I like to think of it this way…. What would Steve Irwin do?

Yea it’s some 90s/early 2000s religious “pop culture”,(y’know, like wwjd) but it works…why would I charge people for services that are literally fun events for me? This isn’t work!! I’m happy to take away a “scary” snake, do a presentation for a group, see people’s faces light up after they’re no longer scared, and whatever, because this is what I do daily for enjoyment!
Steve had a passion and you could see it. Same here dudes, it’s enough payment for me when i can show someone snakes aren’t scary or remove a snake that’s terrifying to them…

I remember some of y’all showing interest in Japanese rat snakes, so thought that I’d put it out there that we have a lock with Kirin and Asahi!

Will be shutting down my morph market account for the winter season. Too many inquiries to locations with very low temps .
However, if you’re local and don’t mind in person pickup I am certainly willing to do so.

It's Moments Monday, where we share moments in herpetological history. Today's photo is a fully restored 1927 photograph of
Grace Olive Wiley (1883–1948).

Grace Olive Wiley, once fearful of snakes, transformed into the celebrated "Snake Woman" due to a fateful encounter with a rattlesnake while working at the Minneapolis Museum of Natural History in the 1920s. The story goes a rattlesnake gently crawled across Grace’s foot, and suddenly her thoughts changed from fear to wanting to understand these animals. Convinced that snakes could be tamed with patience and gentle acclimation to touch, she became the first person to breed rattlesnakes in captivity successfully. Her handling methods at the Minneapolis Museum of Natural History led to conflicts with museum administrators, prompting her departure to the Brookfield Zoo outside Chicago, where Wiley was a pioneer in naturalistic reptile displays. Subsequently, in 1937, she established a private reptile zoo in Long Beach, California, and provided snakes for classic films like “Moon Over Burma”, “The Jungle Book”, and several of the “Tarzan” feature films in the 1940s. In 1948, she was fatally bitten by an Indian cobra while handling it for a photograph. Her legacy lives on through the naming of Grace Park in Long Beach in her honor.
