Vallejo youth has been raising reptiles since he was 5
19.05.12
In desperate need of a reptile cage for his red-tailed boa constrictors, snake breeder Garrett Davis of Vacaville hopped online and onto Craigslist to see what was for sale.
One cage caught his eye and so he called the number posted and was surprised to find the seller to be 17-year-old Jahzeel Forsen, who makes the items in his family's garage.
"I was absolutely amazed at this kid's talent. It brought me back to my childhood and to kids who were selling suckers in the third grade to save money," Davis said.
"It seemed like he had the same entrepreneurial spirit," Davis said.
A publicist with Nati Celebrity Services, Davis said his first inclination was to try to get the word out for Jahzeel, a Vallejo youth who's been raising reptiles since he was 5 and building cages for them for several years.
But while he welcomes the additional help Jahzeel said he is doing pretty well on his own -- getting the word out on his custom-made reptile cages via the Internet
