Hey Doug,

Good morning! I recall seeing Bill's hands in numerous documentaries that featured the Serpentarium, and I often wondered if his hands were more a result of the trauma he'd endured from multiple envenomations versus becoming more aged. Either way, I'm sure he lives the kind of life many of us would want -- making a decent living while in the company of herps day in/day out. I've often had that closet fantasy, lol. Anyway, I think it's a nice thread so far and hope that more of us can share some kind of experience or expression regarding the men/women that preceded many and had an impact on the industry/hobby that leads us to where we are today. Could be captive breeding efforts, conservation endeavors, research initiatives, you name it.
