My favorite species to study would be Cobras and King Cobras which are two different families. They're very intelligent, and they're beautiful looking animals. Where they come from are countries and regions which I spend a lot of time in - South East Asia and India, those are places I go to fairly often, and so the cobras are my main interest. It's not a snake I can maintain, but when I see them in zoos and what not, I find them interesting.

I am a white guy in America with an education, albeit high school, but a pretty good one.

I just live in a white male American reality, where I hear you but I don't know if I necessarily read you.
