Welcome Brian

• Do you even want to introduce yourself or do you think everyone knows who you are at this point haha?!
• How did we meet? @ around 39-45 minutes
• What were you keeping when you came back from Hawaii and how did you keep it/them? @ around 60 minutes or so and on
• How long was that until you got into ball pythons and starting to build a collection? @1:09
• When did your rack in the closet start and how was it convincing Hillary of your intentions of keeping and breeding snakes? @1:34 & @1:38
• How long did you run your collection and videos from inside the closet?
• When did you come out of the closet…...and build that beautiful snake room under your place in the garage at your new spot? @1:46

New space:

• How did you build it?
• Where did you learn all your carpentry and techniques etc?
• What went into the room design? @1:50 and beyond
• What did you learn after all said and done and what would you have done differently knowing what you know now?
• Any tips for folks building their own rooms?
• What species do you keep currently and how did that evolve before getting involved with Roaming Reptiles?
• Where do you see your collection and reptile initiatives going in the future?
• What’s next for Triple B and the growth of your reptile space?

New Guest Closing Questions:

1. Who do you look up to most in the reptile world? (not Andy Rea…...Kevin McCurley, Brian Barczyk, people sticking to/in love with one certain species, Lawrence Kenchington, aussie kid reptile song writer, Brian Gundy, Dav Kaufman) 
2. What is your holy grail reptile to keep? (once indigos, now boeleni for snakes, but komodos!)
3. If you could devote an entire bedroom to one species to build a massive vivarium, what would you keep and design? (retic room, waterfall, jungle vines, open ceiling option, swimming pool, rainforest)
4. If you could go back in time to a younger you right before you got into reptiles, what wisdom would you impart upon your younger self? (start with a female! Not Carl (hypo pinstripe))
5. If you could pass on one piece of advice to the listeners about keeping snakes/reptiles, what would it be? (just in case, get a female)
