Brian Barczyk- An interview full of info and history

[Robyn@SYR]

Judy@TRR has done another history bio at The Reptile Report, this time on Brian Barczyk of BHB Reptiles and SnakeBytesTV. It is a really interesting piece. I certainly learned new things I never knew...

"Few people are born into this world with the calling of their life already burned in their heart. Brian Barczyk is one of those few.

He was born the youngest of three in a low-income, single-parent family, with a mother that disliked pets of any sort and siblings that were indifferent to animals. And yet, the very first clear memory of his life, at the age of two, was seeing a ball python at the Bell Isle Zoo in Detroit. Throughout his childhood, he would beg his friends to set aside their bicycles and baseballs to go tramping through the woods looking for snakes with him. There, he would catch Dekays and garters and bring them home in a paper sack. By the end of the summer, he would have 25-30 small snakes hidden away in his garage that he took great pleasure in feeding and caring for. In the fall, he would release them back into the wild and start all over again the next year."
