Dr. Brown is a clinical veterinarian and instructor in the Department of Comparative Medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, where he provides veterinary care and oversight for laboratory animals. Beyond his professional role in laboratory animal medicine, Dr. Brown is a passionate reptile enthusiast. He maintains an extensive private collection featuring a variety of rare colubrids,
boas, and pythons. One of Dr. Brown’s primary goals is to bridge the gap between private herpetoculturists, academic researchers, zoological institutions, veterinary medicine, and the public. He believes that collaboration among these groups is essential for advancing reptile welfare and medicine, promoting responsible captive management, and supporting conservation initiatives to support a more unified community.
