Hayden would like to recognize everyone who has supported his passion of herpetology that has allowed him to get to where he is now. His elementary teachers who encouraged his passion, his middle and high school teachers who allowed him to build his herpetarium, his friends and guides in herpetology who made him feel welcome and most of all his parents, who have been supportive since the start. Thank you all.
