My name is Jimmy Johnson.
Some may also know me as Draybar.
I am 50 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".
MY REPTILE INTERESTS
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
GENERAL INTERESTS
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.
MY ANIMALS
I currently have 63 snakes in my collection. Twenty five pure corn snakes, twenty five corn snake/emoryi rat snake mixes including creamsicles, motley creamsicles, stripe creamsicles and cinnamons.
One ultramel which is a grey rat/corn cross, five bairds rat snakes and seven emoryi rat snakes.
These numbers can and will change on a regular basis.
With this year's hatch these numbers are sure to go up.
As well as the snakes we also have...
6 cats
and
6 dogs
MY WANT LIST
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.
