About Herping Adventures etcetera with Darson Robelier

In his rustic, simplistic and under-produced videos, Darson discusses any wild reptile (or other animal) he can get his hands on. Special priority is given to turtles, snakes and Darson's daughter, though any small creature is a welcome find.

About this user

I absolutely love animals, and am especially fascinated by the wild ones. Many of my favorites are reptiles. I also like plants, and am mesmerized by beautiful bodies of water. Id ream of catching big fish, the likes of which I have never seen in my waking hours. Perhaps this is an expression of my hopes of making some discovery that will truly and completly satisfy my professional ambitions. I am an economist by profession, but that doesn't really lend itself to exciting dreams.
