About the Expert

Expert: Johan Svahnstrm has been working with reptiles and amphibians for over 20 years.
Johan was born in Sweden, and began at an early age, to take on the often difficult task of keeping and breeding reptiles in the frigid climate of Scandinavia.
He started as a young child keeping and breeding Red Tail Boas and Rainbow Boas. Later, when he moved to Florida he ventured into more difficult reptile species such as exotic geckos and skinks. Johan paid his way through college by breeding and selling a variety of reptiles and amphibians. He was a common sight at the many reptile conventions around the U.S. at the time. At that time he specialized in a variety of Day Geckos and Leopard Geckos. He also successfully bred Kingsnakes, Milksnakes, Rosy Boas and Bullsnakes.
After Johan earned his teaching degree he has been using his reptile knowledge in the classroom. There are always a few snakes and lizards in Johan’s class.
