Favorite Herpetologist?
That was a question in my first "slam" book here at RTB. I put down John Binns. He is like a movie star to me 
In any case as most of you know I have a real interest in Bob MacCarger's work/study of UVB and reptiles...and I was smart enough to pose a few questions to him about my cyclura. I never for a minute dreamed this would open a communication with Mr.binns who has been writing ever since. I am like a kid who's talking to Santa Claus now.
For those of you who don't know John Binns is owner of Cyclura.com, writes for IGUANA mag, heads the IIS and many conservation efforts including the big one on Grand Cayman. He has zootype enclosures on his property in CT and continues to educate people on cyclura who are unfortunately disappearing from their habitats. One species is already extinct and cyclura lewisi are critically endangered. To read more about cyclura and Mr. Binns, please visit cyclura.com
Th following 2 pics are from the field and are his personal photos. One is a Blue Cayman Rock Iguana in it's natural habitat and the other is a Rhino Iguana also taken in the field.
Did I mention how THRILLED I am to be communicating with him??????

Yeah he is the master of the giant gecko drop from a tall tree too :P
"Ok here comes one, catch it.....Ooops. Take 2" lol While he does seem to know an awful lot about the science of herps, he seems to do allot of dumb things, sen him let a cat snake bite him on the face, free handle cobras that were inches from his legs, literally rip an Amazon Tree Boa out of a tree. He really seems to care about the science, just not if the animals he studies get hurt.
Nicole I'm surprised that Robert Sprackland isn't on your list too. I met him about 5 years ago, and he was quite a wealth of knowledge.
I kinda like Robert Henderson, for his work with ATBs, but I also have allot of disagreements with his findings.

Mmm.. I am tending to like Sean Bush quite a lot lately, even though I only see him on VenomER.
He seems to have the no nonsense approach and a gentle demeanor when it comes to both animal and patients.

My favorites go back a ways. They are First Tom Crutchfield who taught me almost everything I know about reptiles. And second Chris McQuade of Golf Coast herps who I grew up with and has been breeding/selling snakes for the last 30 years. They are not stars on tv or have Dr. in front of their names, but they have done alot for the herp world.
