Founder, educator, and conservationist. Building a world where reptiles are understood, not feared — one encounter at a time.
The Founder
Vision
Braxton Warren founded Vivarium Culebra on a simple but radical idea: that reptiles deserve to be understood, not feared. Through honest, up-close encounters with living animals, he set out to dismantle myths and replace them with genuine appreciation.
Philosophy
"Education and proximity to real animals can fundamentally shift the way people see — and treat — the natural world." Every program, every partnership, and every conservation effort Vivarium Culebra undertakes is built on this belief.
Impact
Under Braxton's leadership, Vivarium Culebra has reached over 1,200 students, launched 8 education programs, and initiated conservation partnerships across multiple continents — all driven by the conviction that connection creates change.
