Like most people on this forum I became interested in herpetology at a very early age, although it took me a while to find anything other than frogs and toads! I went through a long phase of keeping and breeding captive herps although I sold the majority of my collection when I went off to university over ten years ago.
These days I much prefer seeing herps in their natural environment and combine fieldherping with my passion for travelling. I also have a very active interest in mammals and birds.
On an ideal trip I’ll split my time between herping, mammal watching and birding. This normally works well, but does mean I’m a bit of ‘a Jack of all trades – master of none’ when it comes to knowledge!
I look forward to learning and sharing on what seems to be a friendly and knowledgeable forum.
I’ll end with a few photos.
