About Me

I began working with reptiles in my early years of college, keeping only a couple western hognose snakes. That quickly changed to more animals as my interest got stronger and I began to feel the draw of a few other species.  I continued on to pursue and complete a PhD in genetics while maintaining, growing, and enjoying my reptile collection as my personal hobby. 

I began focusing on a few hognose species as well as a couple sand boa species and I have slowly been growing my collection since. Adding animals that are the quality I am looking for in my breeding collection is my priority.  After starting the collection around 2014 with only a handful of animals, I have currently grown to around 100 individuals of varying species.  

Starting out with mainly western hognose and kenyan sand boas, I found my desire to grow my collection further to include a variety of genetics in my breeding groups. I have focused on purchasing animals that are healthy and displaying the phenotypes I find the most interesting so I can grow my own projects with the best animals I can purchase and produce.
