I'm happy to say we are back in business! On a much smaller scale I might add, currently just doing ball pythons for the foreseeable future.
My website has been updated with a few new critters, more to be added soon. Check it out: a1pythons.com

Hi, I’m Madeline,
Henry and Teresa Piorun’s daughter.

At 2:30pm April 12, 2022, a fire started outside of my dads breeding facility and workshop. The blaze took down the entire two story building along with everything inside. This not only destroyed his business but took everything he’s spent the last 30+ years building.

My fathers two biggest passions in life were his reptiles, and his RC planes. He became one of Canadas largest snake breeders, starting back in 1991. He has always been well respected for his knowledge, care and quality of his animals. He’s been a huge advocate for the reptile community over the years.

Henry also began building and flying RC planes when he was child, over time he began competing in competitions. In the 80s he represented Team Canada at the Worlds Competition and made the team again in 2019 in Italy. My dad is known world wide in the RC plane community for his craftsmanship, quality of work, sportsmanship, competitive nature and knowledge.

My family is currently mourning the loss of not only all the animal lives lost, but everything that made my Dad; my Dad. He turned his two passions and hobbies into his business, and in a blink of an eye they are completely gone. All the snakes, the cages, his tools, his planes, the entire facility.

I know rebuilding it completely is not likely or possible, but we are hoping to get enough donations so he can at least start again but small. Enough to cover clean up costs, and possibly get him some tools and an RC plane kit.

I received this message from Steve Johnson a fellow pilot from Australia,

“Hi All

As you may know by now, one of our fellow F3A pilots, Henry Piorun suffered a significant loss with a fire.

I contacted her and asked if she was comfortable with us raising some money to help Henry through this tough time.

My thought was if we can get him a new model at the least, it may help him and the family through the process.”

I want to thank Steve for encouraging me to do this. I’m very hopeful, with these wonderful communities that we can help see my Dad and Mum through this difficult time.

*** Insurance on the building was canceled weeks prior in hopes of finding a more affordable option***

Just got a nice clutch of carpet eggs, these will be Albinos and 100% hets. From my original het female, she never fails to impress, looks like at least 30 eggs, to hard to count, lol.

01/05/2021

My first really decent clutch from a Banana female. 5 fertile eggs bred to a Banana Clown.
Last year I had two clutches from Banana females totalling only 3 fertile eggs and only one of those hatched☹️. Anyway, happy to have finally gotten some nice eggs from her.😊👍

01/10/2020

First boa pairing of the season, hopefully it'll be better than the last one.😊

16/07/2020

Happy "World Snake Day" everyone!😊

03/07/2020

Here's a Banana Enchi Sugar that just hatched, he was the only Sugar out of 5 eggs.
Also, my second clutch ever from a Banana female, she's a Cinnamon Banana that was bred to Pastel Blackhead and a Banana pied. Only 4 eggs but better than nothing.
Last but not least, from my first ever clutch from a Banana female. There was only one fertile egg but it turned out to be a Blackhead Banana male. A female maker!😊

25/06/2020

Well these are pretty cool! Breeding was a Mahogany/Cinnamon/Yellow belly to a Pastel Blackhead male. Still managed to squeeze in a normal, lol.

16/06/2020

Blackhead Leopard, just one of these unfortunately but pretty cool.

27/05/2020

A few more babies that have just had their first shed. Banana and Sugar combo's 😊👍

23/05/2020

Freshly shed. Orange Dream Sugar, Orange Dream Banana and Sugar Banana...maybe OD also?

12/05/2020

Just out if the egg, Orange Dream Sugar and Banana Sugar😊

03/05/2020

I had small litter of Scoria's the other day. Unfortunately there were several still born babies but thankfully a few made it. These have just had their first shed.🙂

29/04/2020

My one and only "World's first" (Blackhead/Blackpastel/YB) from 2015 finally laid eggs! I tried several different males but the only actually lock up I saw was the Pastel Blackhead male. So it's a bit of a crap shoot. Anyway, looking forward to seeing what pops out.

22/03/2020

First two clutches of the year this weekend. Super Orange Dream x Banana Sugar and Butterbee x Banana Sugar.😊

28/02/2020

Wow! I honestly thought these were due at the end of April, lol. What an idiot🤔. Not sure how I could have been that far off.
Anyway, looks like a perfect litter of Albinos, Sunglows and Arabesque albinos/ Sunglows!

Holly crap!!! That didn't take long. He lost interest in her on the 28th, ovulation today😃

26/11/2019

Constant courting/mating/breeding since the beginning of the month! He's turned into a horndog😃

14/11/2019

It's been quite a few years since I've hatched any sugars so I'm more than happy with these guys. 3 pastel Sugars and 3 Sugars, they are all het Genetic Stripe also. I have another Sugar clutch due to hatch the first week of Dec.

05/11/2019

Well this looks promising...a little under water hanky panky.😊

09/07/2019

Got a nice clutch from a lesser het albino this morning, she was bred to a Enchi/Mojave het albino. This pairing produced an Albino Leucistic last year, I could have sold that snake 10 times over, lol. Two more eggs this year than last so hopefully get at least one or two more.😊

17/06/2019

This should be interesting....Fire/Butter/Pastel bred to a Fire/Butter/Pastel/Yellow belly🤔😀

05/06/2019

Been a while since I have posted anything so here's a few things that have happened here in the last few days. Got two nice clutches, one from an Olive python and another from a het albino carpet. Also hatched the first ball clutch of the year, I did have a couple hatch January and February but this is the first official 2019 clutch, seems to be a late year for balls...for me anyway.

12/03/2019

Looks like love is in the air...spring must be right around the corner...thank god!

11/12/2018

My Banana/Sugar clutch, unfortunately just one sugar baby from 6 eggs but I think its pretty cool. Its a Banana/Pastel/Pinstripe/Sugar, I think he will color up pretty nice after a few sheds. Shown with one of his brothers a Banana lemonblast.
