        VenomousReptiles.org Team
The VenomousReptiles.org project depends on many volunteers who donate their time 
   to help with the administration chores of running each of the areas 
   within the site.  The VenomousReptiles.org team is constantly changing, 
   as managers may find their lives or interest level changing.  We will 
   continue to profile our team and keep this page up-to-date with changes 
   in the team makeup. 
If you would like to help with this project, please check out our 
Help Wanted page.

	Articles, Daniel Dean Duff II, Peter84Jenkins
	
	Daniel Duff has had a lifelong love  
for nature, sparked in childhood  
from a fascination with dinosaurs.  
He can most often be found hiking  
the most remote regions of the  
North Georgia Mountains, or camping  
on the black water rivers of South  
Georgia, reflecting peacefully by a  
campfire. Armed with a research  
permit from the Georgia DNR and US  
Forest Service, Daniel spends much  
of his field herping time gathering  
notes from his study sites.
