I've kept herptiles since the mid-80´s, but then I didn´t keep any venomous reptiles, but animals like the American Cornsnake and similar European snakes.The European herpetofauna has always fascinated me, and the interest for this geografic group of herptiles has been growing over the years. I have made some herpetological fieldtrips to the former Yugoslavia.
The interest for venomous snakes has always been there but I thought that I didn't have the nessecary experience to keep any until late -90´s. In 1996, I got my first "hotsnake", a Vipera aspis as a gift from a friend, and from there.. It got from bad to worse.. And I love it..
