Corbin Maxey

Corbin Maxey is a young reptile expert, known for his live animal shows and appearances on The Tonight Show. He also started the Cyprus Hill Reptile Reserve animal rescue and educational outreach facility in 2002, at the age of 12.[1]

He was born July 14, 1989. His interest and early education regarding reptiles came from his native area in mountains of southern Idaho, where he regularly caught snakes, lizards, frogs and toads.

He appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno as a reptile expert on June 20, 2007 and April 14, 2008.[2]

In 2007, he produced and starred in his own show at Zoo Boise called “Reptile Rampage”, which ran at the zoo.[3] The show featured exotic reptile pets that got too big or mean, and the resulting consequences. It attracted thousands of people.[citation needed]

Since then he has assisted top zoological facilities where he has worked with all different types of animals including orcas, bottlenose dolphins, beluga whales, tigers, giraffes, penguins, primates, and reptiles.[citation needed]

He is a member on the board of the Idaho Herpetological Society. He currently attends Boise State University where he majors in Biology.
