I have owned snakes my entire life. I began owning large constrictors when I was 17 and by 18 had already started a rehabilitation program in my basement for constrictors and the occasional random reptile. Over the next couple years, I collected enormous pythons that became my most adored pets. I was hired to work at an antivenom clinic due to my renowned snake handling abilities. For 4 years working there I was introduced to hundreds of species from across the world and had the privilege to hold, tame, work, and study them. My own collection grew over the years, and I wanted to do something with it that was more than just posting pictures of them and especially not breeding them for money. I remembered a time years back when a random person hired me to bring snakes for a music video off of craigslist. I was in awe walking into a gigantic studio and seeing a real production team. Along with 2 small ball pythons that they requested, I suprised them by bringing a 20 foot Python I had at the time. This was a great opportunity for me to blow people's minds, educate them, and increase their production value. I decided to make Art of Scales to chase that feeling of making art and integrating snakes into peoples lives. So far I have worked with snakes professionally on the fronts of medicine (Snake Pharms), art (Art of Scales), entertainment (Hollywood Snakes), therapy (Socal Snake Massage), and injury prevention which will be my new venture. A big thank you to my clients that I have served so far and allowed me to service you. I hope to keep woorking with snakes for a long time.
