Steve Beamer has been fascinated with reptiles since he was a child. His father ignited this passion by catching snakes, turtles, and lizards, then setting them up in tanks in his room. When Steve was 13, he was able to captive breed his first snakes and lizards. By the time he was 15, he got his first job at a reptile import/export business. With encouragement from his father and his success as a young child, Steve merged his first venture Primeval-Beauty into Reptile Collective, eventually buying out the other partners.
