A cop, a biologist, and a reptile breeder walk into a bar…it sounds like a recipe for some pretty interesting stuff doesn’t it? While it may have not happened that way, it definitely makes for some of the best damn reptile television that I have ever seen! I am of course speaking of Python Hunters on NatGeo Wild and Shawn Heflick specifically. The show is honest, funny, and serious in each and every episode. If you’ve ever been field herping then you will have a very special affinity to this show as the Python Hunterscrew pulls no punches when it comes to conservation and other topical issues which embroil the Florida Everglades. If you have not watched this show then you are truly missing out on great television that’s all there is to it.

Dr. Rulon Clark of San Diego State University is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology and his research interests include behavioral ecology and more. What attracted me to his work specifically was the research he’d published regarding rattlesnakes and their social lives as well as their ability to choose sites which would most benefit them when it came to ambush sites. I had the opportunity to interview about his work and current projects and to say that they are fascinating would be an understatement so grab your lab coats folks and settle in. You are about to learn some incredible aspects regarding rattlesnake life!
