#adoptaminnow Adopt Me please, Poeticsnake

Yep, I'm a total minnow. Learning, but at times it seems like a new language.

But we share a passion.

I like snakes.

I have 35 years under my belt as a professional field herpetologist, finding and responsibly relocating problem snakes for clients. Mostly in Texas, but for a big commercial interest, my tongs and I will fly anywhere.

I've also been an entertainer/educator/humorist for 25 years. My show and my company are called Snake Encounters.

Mostly for kids (to an eight-year-old, I'm a rockstar) but I also do corporate events and love to talk to adult crowds too. The more phobic, the better. I specialize in The Truly Petrified - and I have a better track record helping people overcome Ophidiophobia than any shrink.

I have arguably stopped more native snake species from dying than anyone in the USA.

I do that by using comedy and magic (both topical to the subject) to help tell my story. Namely, stop killing snakes. And while you're at it, there are a lot of other non-human things that don't need to be killed.

Please consider me, Poeticsnake.
