Thomas Belford (AKA: BUSHMASTER W30)

About Me

I thought I’d write a sentence or two to give everyone a little background on me.

I grew up in Searcy, Arkansas, and was first introduced to herps when I watched my grandfather catch a Speckled kingsnake around the age of 8 or 9. After that day I caught every herp I could find.

I got away from herping for awhile in my teenage years as my focus in life changed and life started getting a little more serious. I then Spent four years in the U.S. Army and achieved the rank of Sargeant with two years being deployed to Iraq. Being stationed in Georgia reawakened my love for field herping.
