MICHAEL WILBANKS

Through Constrictors Unlimited, he's spent decades breeding and teaching on the giants of the trade — the large pythons and boas that demand the most space, patience, and respect. A working breeder's breeder, the kind of keeper whose animals and methods quietly raised the bar for everyone handling big constrictors. He built his name the hard way, on results rather than noise, and it carries real weight among the people who actually do this.
