When I asked SDSU biology professor and snake researcher Rulon Clark to show me where he keeps the snakes, I didn't know what to expect. I know I didn't expect an unmarked door in a building basement. I didn't expect Tupperware shelves, each plastic bin sliding out to reveal its reptilian resident. And I certainly didn't expect to hear an immediate thsssk-sk-sk-sk-sk-sk as I stepped into the room.
