Boyu (Ray) Du
Ray is an animal lover, reptile breeder and field herper as well as a coke-holic: this guy doesn’t drink water.
He is a very talented herper, spending most of his time in recent years in the field in China and abroad documenting herpetofauna he loves and enjoys, and has found over 200 species of snakes in his relatively short herping career. He has a friendly, talkative and outgoing personality that makes everyone happy, and he is also good at sharing his thoughts and experiences, despite his limited language ability. If you love snakes, he will love you.
