I've since lost track of things in the last 10 years so don't know how well my memory is on this. If I remember rightly, Mike & Bruce Shwedick started a business in MD called Reptile world back in the 70's...go to schools do reptile shows, etc. I believe Bruce later moved to Florida and does similar type stuff down there (Cyrpess gardens comes to mind). I honestly don't know if Mike is still running the business up in MD or not. I think the one in the photo is Bruce.
