Clint Pustejovsky

Houston is home to many snakes and is also where Clint’s passion for snakes began.

Clint has has been studying and catching snakes, venomous and nonvenomous, from that moment to this moment.
At the age of 11, he met a local nature scientist, Dr. Robert A, Vines, who taught Clint how to catch and handle venomous snakes and better ID venomous from nonvenomous. This was 1970 and snake grabbers were not readily available as they are today, so Clint learned how to make his own grabbers, snares, hooks and pinning devices, and continued practicing and honing his skills over the years.

He received a B.S. in Communications from the University of Houston. Clint has also been featured in many newspapers, magazines and regularly asked to do television interviews.
