Checking out the forums/new old guy
Hello sSnakess forum,
Just joined this forum as it was recommended by some fellow herpers so I thought I'd check it out.
I'm a long time herp enthusiast and keeper and make my living designing and fabricating animal enclosures for zoo's all over the country. I've also had a few articles published on varanid husbandry.
I've been keeping and breeding reptiles for over 20 years now, mostly with an emphasis on varanids.
I work mostly with S.E Asian species and currently have V. dumerilii, V. becarri, and V. olivaceous
I hatched out my first monitors in 1999 and have pretty much had babies hatching every year since. Currently have some F5 dumerilii in the incubator.
I'm also a big time field herping junkie and get out to see reptiles in nature whenever I can, I usually do 2-3 herp trips a year and get out to the Mojave every year in May to chase wildflowers and reps.
Most of my time is spent working though and I'm in a different zoo nearly every month so maybe I'll get a chance to meet up with forum members at their local zoo. Right now I'm working mostly on behavioral enrichment products for non human primates and will be fabricating exhibits for white handed gibbons, squirrel monkeys, aardvarks, fruit bats, wolfs guenons desert torts and more this year.
Look forward to interesting conversations here.
Thanks.
Ben Aller
