Donald's Top 10 Adventure Destinations: Donald Schultz counts down his favorite places to have fun. Born in South Africa, Donald Schultz is a world-renowned venom expert, writer, photographer and adventurer and has been in the public eye for most of his life. Donald started to work with reptiles at the age of 13 and was fortunate to have an internship at the world-famous Fitzsimons Snake Park, where he received a sound schooling in herpetology. By Donald giving demonstrations and spending endless hours studying snake behavior, catching venomous snakes became second nature, and his fascination with these creatures became the bedrock of his career.
Moving to the United States in 2002, Schultz studied veterinary medicine and worked at the Veterinary Specialty Hospital in San Diego, California, before pursuing a full-time career in herpetological adventures. He has worked with a variety of different animals on almost every continent from tiny geckos in the Kalahari to giant monitor lizards in San Diego, and from dangerous and tiny box jellyfish in Australia to huge sea turtles in Costa Rica. He has caught venomous snakes on five continents and crocodiles on three.
Always keeping busy with animals, Schultz created and ran a company specializing in African reptiles and eco-tours. He also co-authored a number of ongoing scientific papers in addition to being a speaker at the International Herpetological Symposium. World authorities in venomous snakes look to him for help with difficult and dangerous animals. Schultz was first published in Reptile Magazine in 2006 and has been published in five international magazines since, including a recurring column in the Australian magazine Scales and Tails.
His love affair with dangerous activities extends beyond just his work, and he tries to incorporate the two whenever possible. He is an avid skydiver and a highly specialized scuba diver, having been certified as the youngest CLASS II commercial diver in Africa.
Schultz first premiered on the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet as an expert, wrangler and consulting producer on I WAS BITTEN and guest host on FEEDING FRENZY: CROCODILE.
Schultz now calls Los Angeles his home... when he actually is home.
