Spunky
A quarter size baby turtle walks into the garage of Producer Bill Horneck's Boynton Beach Florida home. This was the beginning of a family experience that is the inspiration for ReptilesTV.com. That turtle, aptly named "Spunky" demonstrated to Bill, his wife and kids just how much time, research and energy are needed to raise a happy and healthy herp.

Spunky was recently transitioned to a wildlife refuge in Loxahatchee Florida so that he could expend his never ending energy in a much larger natural habitat. It was sad time for the Horneck family, but also left them with a shared experience that taught many valuable lessons.

We hope this website answers many beginner hobbyist questions, and becomes a way for you to share your own learning experiences with us. The one significant difference you will find on this reptile site is our commitment to communicating our information in high quality video.

If you have a professional quality herp-related instructional video, or if you have home movies that show off your lizard, turtle or snake at their best, email us at, submissions@reptilestv.com, we'll follow up to see if we can work together and add your video content to our site.

Hillary Dupont
Hello my name is Hillary Dupont. I am 25 years old and was born and raised in the Everglades of South Florida. Growing up with a father as a herpetologist is an exciting life for me. Ever since I was a young child my father never held back from taking me out into the field to research and collect reptiles. An ordinary summer day for us would start around 6a.m. with my mother packing us a lunch, drinks and plenty of empty snake bags.
