Growing up in California, with a mother who loved animals of all kinds, I was fortunate to be given my first snake at the age of five -- a California Garter snake (Thamnophis infernalis) -- by Santa (my mom). This gift started a passion that has grown into a desire to share the beauty, humor, and joy these animals provide.

​

I have kept everything from desert horned lizards to Crested Geckos to chameleons, but truly fell in love with Brazilian Rainbow Boas (Epicrates cenchria cenchria). After breeding these for five years and producing the parents of the Candy Stripe line, I took a break from reptiles to raise my daughters. I never lost my deep love for Garter snakes, Hognose snakes, Crested Geckos, and Brazilian Rainbow Boas. Upon returning to breeding as a hobbyist, I chose to focus on the species native to North America - snakes similar to those found in your own backyard!

​

I currently produce Hognose Snakes, California (T. infernalis) Garter Snakes, and a variety of Crested Gecko morphs. I am also expanding Brazilian Rainbow Boas and Blue Tongue Skinks.

​

My goal is to provide healthy, well-loved reptiles to everyone from beginners to experienced keepers and support clients so they can continue to admire and adore these amazing creatures. I strive to make myself available at all times and for questions of any kind. 

​

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns, or if you just feel like sharing a photo or video of your gecko or "noodle" being cute!
