Jim Brockett and Barney Tomberlin, Jim was the reptile guy for the stars(in Hollywood) Barney lives in Portal Az. I owned property next to his. He does insects these days and is hmmmmm getting old.

They traded a Mangrove snake for an old albino king, which my friend Ted bought and later gave to me.

Ray Fulsom started and owned Hermosa reptile, he was a pilot by trade. He flew cargo planes, all around the world. And He brought back, reptiles and animals from all over the world. The store was called, Hermosa Beach Reptile and wild animal exchange. Chuck Mclung was the manager when I worked there. He later became a sculptor and made odd animal sculptures. I own some of his work. At the time, Ray had a very large collection of Crots and kept them really poorly, hahahahahahaha true.

Hmmmmmmmm not to let you eastern folks off the hook, I also worked with Ross Allen and at Ross Allens.



He also did not know which end of a snake to feed. hahahahahahaha
