Inside the Circle

2 min read

Here is what membership in Citadel Culebra Circle looks like, what is live now, and what is coming.

Live access to the people who wrote this book

  • Expert-led live sessions one to two times per week. Each contributing expert sets their own cadence and topic schedule. You can submit questions in advance or join live.
  • Group forums with at least one moderated discussion thread per week — often more — built around the questions members are actually asking.
  • Field studies. Sit in on real research and breeding work with live camera crews. Footage gets repackaged into mini courses you keep access to as a member.
  • Direct Q&A with the breeder, vet, or specialist on the topic — not a forum where the answer might come in three days from a stranger with no track record.

Education and certification

  • Keeper Certifications — written by experts, by species and by discipline. Real credentials that say you know what you are doing.
  • Certification programs for experts themselves — recognition for the people who have been doing this quietly for decades.
  • Snake Safety Course — a standalone course for non-keepers, first responders, parents, and people who just want to not be afraid.
  • Classroom and school programs. Bring reptiles into your high school or college class. Field trips are coming. Sign up for the interest list.

Community structure

  • Species groups (ball pythons, corn snakes, BCI, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, crested geckos — and growing).
  • Genetics groups for people deep in morph projects, recessive proven-out work, and breeding plans.
  • Discipline groups — field herping, breeding, photography, veterinary topics, education, content creation.
  • Expo groups. Find your people before the show. Share rooms. Plan booth visits.
  • Local groups — connect with keepers in your city or region for in-person meetups.
  • Moderators based in the Philippines provide twenty-four-hour coverage so questions do not sit unanswered overnight, and disrespectful behavior gets addressed in minutes, not days.

Standards, governance, and ownership

  • Bylaws — published, public, and enforced. We tell you the rules of the house.
  • Unity in keeping — official husbandry standards developed by the expert council, not handed down from a single voice.
  • Stock for shareholders — members and contributors share in what we build. Details available on request.

Helping creators and experts

  • Social media structure and management for our experts — so the people producing the best work get reach and reward instead of burnout.
  • Production support for field studies and courses.
  • A platform that pushes good information to a wider audience without algorithmic interference.

Events

  • Expos, workshops, and field trips. Interest lists are open now. The earlier you sign up, the more say you have in scheduling.

Who it is for

  • Random kids who saw a snake on TikTok and want to learn more — welcome.
  • High school and college students looking for real mentorship — welcome.
  • Working breeders and master keepers who want a clean professional space — welcome.
  • Veterinarians, educators, content creators, expo vendors — welcome.
