Intrepid Photography

Wanted to let everyone know that Chapter 2 in the Intrepid Exotics story starts in 30 days, the first week of August 2025. After 10 years in North Carolina and several years producing the YouTube channel here focusing on large reptile behavior and handling, helping folks better understand their pets and working against unjust reptile bans nationwide, we are re-homing all of our reptiles and moving west.

This is by no means the end, but rather a new beginning that is going to take the same work that I have done over the years and expand on it to a much larger landscape, with a much more diverse group of wildlife and a greater ecological cause. I am going to be in the Bridger-Teton national forest in August, permanently, just south of Yellowstone in Wyoming. This may seem like a huge divergence from the reptile world, but it's not so far removed as one may think.

I will be sharing with the community the landscape and wildlife from the oldest national park of it's kind in the world, with a rich history of ecology and geology from one of the most unique places on the planet, and continuing to work towards protecting not only our rights to keep our reptiles, but to shift focus to preserving the most intact ecosystem of it's kind in the country, teaching about how humans have impacted the area for good and bad, and continuing to emphasize the importance of animals that humans fear, much like we've done with our giant snakes, but in regard to other apex predators like bears and wolves that humans have killed-off out of our own fear and misunderstanding that we have learned play such a vital role in not only interactions with other wildlife, but in literally shaping the environment.

I hope to bring the community here some of the most breathtaking views and most unvarnished perspectives of how vitally important it is for humans to protect and preserve all life on this planet and to cherish the last few remaining wild ecosystems we haven't destroyed.

This is not my photo below, simply a random photo found online but keep an eye out over the next few months as I pursue some of the most amazing locations on the planet to bring to everyone here. All of you that have stuck with me and supported what I've done over the years are awesome and I can't thank you enough, and hang in there because we are about to begin work on some fantastic content.
