I am a
member of the Jacksonville Herpetological Society and this is where we
have our monthly meetings. The way we pay for our meeting room at the
Museum is to put on a reptile exhibit once a month. This is what we call
our MVP program (Museum Volunteer Program). This is a great
experience and a lot of fun. We get to talk to people about our club and
about our reptiles. We answer questions about our reptiles and I let
the kids hold a real live SNAKE. |

At our March 6, 2002 meeting a lady came up to
me and said that someone had told her that I had a Black Racer that I was going to
release. She told me that she was the Curator of the Museum and they had just lost
their Black Racer that they'd had for a long time. She asked me if I would donate it to
the Museum if I wasn't going to keep it. I called her a couple of days later and told her
that I would donate it to the Museum. The next Saturday was our MVP program so I
took the Black Racer and presented it to the Curator of the Museum. (Picture left)

This is the Black Racer that I donated to the Museum. I only had it for a few weeks and it was eating mice and was pretty tame. It was about 4 feet long and it has never bitten me. I sent this picture to a friend and he emailed me back and said, "WOW! How many hits did you take trying to get that picture. Now this is a fun hobby. |
