what do you do for a living?

Parker that is a GORGEOUS baby king!!!! Is it cb? snake eating or rodent eating?

First of all JJ...that is the hottest looking eyelash viper ever....so beautiful.

Second....Jparker...who knew you had such a great collection. WOW! My sons favorite snake of all time....black spitting cobra. Needless to say I am NOT telling him you have this or we will be taking a road trip to your house....lol. Question ...when handling him...are you wearing the head gear? Just curious

Awesome collection there!!! And I second, that Eyelash Viper is sexy!!!

No, never did and never will own venomous. Awesome collection jparker :gj:

i have wanted to get an eyelash viper for years now. i just cant find anyone close enough to intern with. im not about to get into hots without some hands on training from an experienced keeper.

maybe one day :)

Amazing pictures. I've always been fascinated by them. I'll never have them but I would love the opportunity to spend time with them.:gj:

I work for Texas Reptile Exchange. Yeah I know I am lucky this is my 7 day a week job (5 days on some weeks when we dont have reptile shows). We breed and import several species of reptiles, supply pet shops and other whole sale companies as well as producing some of the high end animals. All I can say is if you enjoy what you do for a living you wont work a day in your life.
