Hello! My name's Robert. I've been a reptile geek since 1997, becoming inflicted with the "bug" after being introduced to a Redtail Boa. I own every issue of Reptiles Magazine since! :)

I've worked with and bred countless species of pretty much ALL types of herps; from VARIOUS frogs to newts, geckos to chameleons, dragons to monitors, turtles to tortoises and VARIOUS snakes.

I started out as an extreme hobbyist, collecting just about anything that fascinated me and building elaborate/naturalistic enclosures. That eventually turned into me becoming a small time wholesaler, which then led me breeding on a large scale.

I almost opened my own reptile shop back in 2004, but decided to spend a boat-load of money on the Ball Python market instead and started vending at shows. I picked up Pieds, Albinos, Axanthics, Spiders, Yellow Bellies, Cinnamons, Mojaves, Pastels and a bunch of adult females. Back then these things' prices weren't what they are today (e.g. I paid $10k for a pair of Spider hatchlings - doh!).

I then purchased an existing large-scale Rodent Breeding operation. I ran that operation for about 2 years until finally selling it off in pieces. I produced thousands of rats and mice monthly - a whole lot of work! Be sure to check out the video tour of my facility.

After more than a decade of all this fun and experience, my professional life (Technology) inevitably merged with with my hobby life... and reptilegeeks was born.

I envisioned a site where enthusiasts could enjoy the hobby for what it's really all about; easily networking with each other, sharing photos/videos, writing blogs, chatting, free classifieds and so much more! But mainly, to share the love and passion for the hobby with others alike, in a friendly and open atmosphere.

Enabling enthusiasts to share their passion on a broader level, and promoting the hobby in new and exciting ways.
