Stranger stuff really is amazing! We are hosting a live auction night on July 29th in our discord with some incredible breeders putting up some really cool animals! I’ve heard some rumors that a certain bald idiot may be including a strange animal in that auction. If you’re interested in joining (it’s totally free, we don’t make you join a Patreon) just shoot me a message for a link! We’ll soon have a complete list of available animals that we’ll be posting. Joining also puts you under no obligation to participate in the auctions! Experienced breeders all the way to brand new keepers and even those that haven’t fully decided to take the plunge, all are welcome!

Sponsoring an amazing guy like Pete is something you won’t regret. It’s also ridiculously affordable! Help inspire the next generation that’s going to keep our hobby alive!

This is the last call for sponsors before the banners go off to printers. I'm so grateful for the support of Dinah-Mite Pythons, The Reptile Ward & Herp.Social, and I hope they continue to see value in my work. I'd love to have more Canadian breeders & suppliers in my corner, and here's why it's important to me...

The reptile-keeping hobby is under constant attack by misguided legislation fueled by prejudice & misinformation. Breeders are on the front-lines of those battles, and enforcement hits them the hardest. Unfortunately, the general public knows very little about our community and don't know "snake-breeding" even exists. I'm trying to help change that in my community by promoting responsible pet-keeping and offering free consulting for parents, connecting them to quality breeders & suppliers so that they aren't just making impulsive pet store purchases, but getting connected to our community and all the help we can provide to their families.

Responsible pet-keepers and an educated public can serve as a powerful infantry, backing up breeders and ensure our hobby continues to grow and thrive! Beyond simply "advertising" for sponsors, I am just so unbelievably grateful whenever someone invests in my work, that I can't help but gush about them at every opportunity. It's somewhat of a compulsion. 😂

So if you're a Canadian breeder or business that serves Atlantic Canada and you see potential value in my gratitude, please consider supporting my work at https://www.patreon.com/forpetessnakes monthly, or as a one-time donation at https://gofund.me/543bc0fa

If you have educators in your own communities, I'd encourage you to find ways to partner with them! Find ways to encourage & support the people who want to grow your market!

I don’t share things that are important to me on this particular page, and I need to change that. I know there are some amazing people following us on this platform.

Pete (For Pete's Snakes) is a wonderful person doing some amazing work trying to bring new and inquisitive young minds into a hobby that will always need to grow to continue to support itself.

This dude tirelessly supports all sorts of people in this hobby; from YouTubers to breeders to up and coming keepers, he goes out of his way to get eyes on peoples achievements.

If you have the means and want to support the future of this hobby, I’d absolutely love if you could consider donating. You don’t need to know Pete personally to give his socials a quick browse and see how good he’s making our hobby look.

Hey everyone! I’m not sure if you’re aware but unfortunately our Instagram page got taken down! If you have a free moment, could you please go follow our new one? We’d very much appreciate it!

Thanks!

Even though she’s a Spider het Pied combo… she’s easily one of my favorites in the collection! She’s technically a “poss het” Pied. What other genes do you think are hiding in her?

04/04/2023

Banana ODYB 66% het Cryptic/Clown. The headstamp on this girl is neon orange 😍 hopefully shed testing becomes a little more accessible to those of us up here in Canada over the next couple years because we have a line up of holdbacks we’d love to get checked 😅

04/02/2023

Awesome little DG 50% het Cryptic Pied female. Fingers crossed we have a powerful Clown Pied male ready by the time she is!

No Aprils fools joke here, only snake.

For being a tiny little b**b egg baby, this dude has not only bounced back but he’s looking incredible now! Pastel Stranger 50% het Clown (MAYBE het Hypo too but mom’s never been proven out). I’m starting to notice that Strangers are named very appropriately, because they’re STRANGE as hell. Some of them come out looking kinda ugly and over the first couple sheds really come into their own. Others hatch out absolutely incredible, and end up dulling out a bit over the first few sheds. I’m gonna have to start paying more attention to what works with Stranger as they get some age so we can further narrow down the genes we want to work with in this project! Really hoping we can start getting Stranger into some DG sooner than later too!

OD HRA het Pied female. Although it’s not as in your face as some combos, I find this to be an incredibly nice looking combo, especially as an adult. Sometimes simple is alright.

03/27/2023

The amount of orange this girl is getting is making that Calico more and more apparent 🤩

03/25/2023

Pastel Leopard YB Stranger het Clown to Asphalt Calico (poss het Hypo). I had her down as a Pastel Leopard Asphalt/YB when she hatched but she looks different than typical examples of the combo. What’s your opinion on this girl?

03/24/2023

Now that’s a cool looking animal.

This awesome GHI Enchi Fire PH Hypo was nabbed by ! Can’t wait to see what he goes on to do in the future!

03/21/2023

Been going back and forth on holding this boy back. OD Enchi Asphalt/YB 66% het Pied PH Monsoon. Dude is funky looking as hell and also just super nice (the picture doesn’t pick up how bright this guy is). If this male proves out either Asphalt or het Pied he’ll be an awesome male to have. What would you breed this guy to?

03/20/2023

Pastel Stranger 66% het Clown male. Last one to crawl out from our latest clutch. Can’t wait to see him and his clutch mates all shed out in a few days!

Pastel Hurricane Clown poss GHI looking fantastic. I really like the almost-orange coming in along the dorsal.
