My name is Jimmy Johnson.
Some may also know me as Draybar.
I am 52 years old and have been into reptiles as long as I can remember.
I am married to a wonderful woman named Patti.
Patti has been very understanding and has accepted a house full of reptiles with a smile.
I am a supervisor in a small steel fabrication plant.
I love fishing and try to spend as much time on the lake as work, family and all these darn snakes will allow. Although I love all forms of fishing I would have to put bass and catfish at the top of my list of favorite species.
I have always enjoyed field herping. It's hard to find the time but when I do it's a great feeling finding and photographing reptiles in the wild.
I also enjoy zoos and aquariums and can never spend enough time at either.
Reading is another joy I can never seem to find the time for..I enjoy horror, fantasy and mystery/adventure and I also enjoy magazines such as "Reptiles" and "North American Fisherman".

I have interests in almost all reptiles and amphibians from tree frogs to bearded dragons but I must honestly state my number one interest is snakes.
I love keeping them, watching them, photographing and breeding them.
To reiterate what I wrote above, I have always enjoyed field herping. It's definitely a great feeling to find and photograph reptiles in the wild.
I feel the observation of reptiles in their natural environment can give you a better insight into their captive requirements

I stated most of my interests above such as fishing and reading but I also enjoy photography.
Now, I say I am interested in photography but it's not so much into the camera, equipment and technical side of photography as much as just capturing what I see on film. Whether it's my family, my dogs, cats, snakes or our surrounding flora and fauna.

At this time I have 67 snakes in my collection, not counting hatchlings. I have 27 pure corn snakes, 16 corn snake/emoryi rat snake mixes, including creamsicles, motley creamsicles, stripe creamsicles, cinnamons and motley cinnamons. I also have 3 ultramels, 1 rusty balck rat snake, 9 emoryi rat snakes, 3 of which are albino, 1 Eastern hog nose , 2 grey rat snakes and 5 bairds rat snakes (the most underrated North American rat snake)
These numbers can and will change with sales, breeding, trades and purchases
I also have four dogs...One 2 1/2 year old female pit Devon, One 4 year old female pit mix Jessie, One 16 year old male unknown mix Sam and One 16 year old female Sheltie mix Sandy.
And..One indoor female black cat Ally, One indoor/outdoor male grey tabby Scooter and One female indoor/outdoor cream colored probable Siamese/tabby mix Frankie.

My favorite projects are Stripe Creamsicles, Motley Creamsicles, Motley Cinnamons, Albino Emoryis and Bairds Rat Snakes.
I am also working with Alabama locale corns such as Dekalb Co and Jackson Co. locales and hope to add Madison Co. soon. I also hope to add any Counties as I can.
I hope to be producing lavas in 2011 and Lavenders and Motley Lavenders in 2012 or 2013. I also produce okeetees, ultramels, ghosts, creamsicles, normal emoryis, rootbeers, cinnamons, amels, anerys and snows.

At this time the one corn snake morph I would truly like to have is the Tessera.
One of the most exciting morphs to ever hit the corn snake world.
