Hello fellow snake lovers. My name is Ryan and (of course) I am new to this site. I have been interested in snakes for about seven years now, most of my experience is with boids (Boa constrictor imperator/constrictor, python regius, and Python molarus bivittatus), but would like to get into colubrids because they dont get as big, have fairly good temeraments, and just so darn cute.
I am from a small town in the central valley California and am a masters student in biology, doing research in genetics and silk protein analysis of Latrodectus hesperus (black widow spiders). one more year of this and 5-7 more for Ph.D and I will finally be done with school, YAY!! I like all the typical things; reptiles, hiking/backpacking, anything biology, a good cigar, and just having a beer at a BBQ with some friends. Have any questions or comments shoot me a line, Ill be around.

Ryan..
