G'day all!

Well, well, well....


Many of you know me, many of you don't.

Quick bio:

My name is Jeff Mohr and I live in a van down by the river...okay, no I don't but you can imagine what it would be like, eh?

Snakes are both my work and my play. I am a PhD student studying Timber Rattlesnakes in upstate South Carolina. I surgically implant radio transmitters in the timbers and then follow them around and take any and all information I can (elevation, temp, body posture, movement, plus much more). I've worked with reptiles for over 12 years now and have been breeding corns for the past 8. Besides the science aspect of reptiles, I worked as a Tropical Reptile keeper at Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC where I got to work with crocodilians, king cobras, green mambas, gaboon vipers, eyelash vipers, anacondas, retics and a bunch of other stuff....but no corns! Privately, I work with burms, balls, blood pythons, kings, black tailed cribos, ratsnakes, cobras, and a few rattlesnakes but 95% of my collection is cornsnakes. I have an educational collection that I take to schools, reptile shows, churches and other such venues to educate people about reptiles. (My presentation website can be found here: www.reptilianencounters.com).

As far as cornsnakes, I work with many of the cutting edge morphs with lava, charcoal, sunkissed, ultra, lavender and blood red. I was the person who introduced the name "lava" to fit Joe Pierce's hypo that popped up in his collection and have debuted a few firsts in the industry including lava motley and ice motley (and maybe the phantom motley and charcoal motley although I'm sure the latter two are out there somewhere just not heavily advertised.) I produce about 400-600 eggs a year of many different morphs and my personal cornsnake website can be found here (www.MohrSnakes.com).

Outside of herps I enjoy romantic walks on the beach, sunsets, and fluffy dogs. (Let it be noted while those last three things may be fun to do they were placed here to keep you awake while reading about my life...if you even made it this far!)

My other hobbies include spending time with my wife, traveling, hiking, camping, woodworking and fishing.

Thank you and have a nice day,

-Jeff

Welcome to the board, glad you found it.

I'm always envious of those who both work and play with reptiles
I'd love to see some pics of your non-corn snakes sometime.

[Joni Garcia]

Hi Jeff! Glad to see you here. I look forward to seeing pics of your collection. I love your patternless corns. Welcome!

[MohrSnakes]

Oh yeah...forgot to include I work with the patternless corns....

They've been such a frustrating project I almost forgot about them!

Great to have ya Jeff! Can't wait to see what fun stuff you'll hatch in 2007!

Hi Jeff, what an interesting bio. I can't wait for you to start posting pics in your forum. Your collection of 'other' snakes sounds amazing.

Welcome to the site!

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I now have my personal forum and will try to get the computer organized so I can post pictures of my animals and other stuff. Thanks for the warm welcome and maybe this site will be the place I will call home.

whoo hoo! welcome and I too echo the thoughts of others, can't wait to see more photos of your stuff and the things you do. Fantastic that you work with Timber Rattlers. A beautiful species indeed! I can't have hots, simply said. But I did get the opportunity to work in a reptile lab in college that had hots. My fav was the Gaboon Viper. He didn't move much, did a lot of huffing and puffing, but he was gorgeous! Looking forward to your contributions here. I also take my stuff to the school and kid's function at church! Great job educating people!
