Looking for a clean up crew? We will be running our 25ct powder mix isopods at the Nebraska Reptile Breeders Expo this weekend. Stop by and grab 25 or 250 we will have plenty!

We will have 1 established daiey cow colony with us.

We will also have a few containers of buffalo beetles.

All of our feeders/clean up crews are raised for use with our reptiles so we take great care in what we feed them.

See you on Sunday!

Between market place, home depot, Amazon and temu we are able to upgrade 22 animals over a 2 week period!

It takes a while to dial them in, this one is almost ready for decor.

Sugar is on her way to a young gentleman in MN. We prepped him a little starter kit to go with his bioactive set up for her.

She will be missed around here but we know she is going to a loving home.

It's amazing to watch the changes these geckos go through. Same gecko, just over 2 weeks apart.

08/22/2024

Finally getting these temp tested, cleaned and sealed.

Hopefully by the end of next week they will be decorated and have new inhabitants...

We try and expose our animals to as many different types of enrichment as we possibly can. Today our Bell group got to experience some petrified wood while taking some very poor photos.

Here are a couple of pictures of clutch mates Kyle and Chunk (our biggest hatchling we ever hatched).

We have Kyle available but every time we look at him he moves closer to the hold back rack.

Had a lot of conversations about feeders over the last few weeks.

The MOST important thing with feeders is what you feed them. Gut loading feeders is so important for healthy animals. Gut load with fresh veggies, leafy greens and fruits that are SAFE for your animal.

Raising your own feeders is the best way as you control what they eat. If that is not an option your second best source is getting them from a reputable reptile breeder.

As breeders we normally have extra feeders that we sell at expos etc. And we take great pride in how we raise them as they are the food source for all our amazing animals.

We also grow our own feeder food when the season is right to tighten the food control aspect even more.

Lastly is a bug farm, while these are cheap and can door ship no matter which one you get them from they will not be near the quality you can get from a local small batch breeder.
If you go through a bug farm make sure to order a few days before you feed so you can Gut load a couple days prior to feeding.

Quality in quality out.

We had a customer give us this at the Cold Blooded Expos in Bloomington on Sunday.

At the time he handed it to us we were extremely busy and didn't get to read it right away.

When it slowed up a bit we were able to and it made our day!

We have some of the best customers out there!

Thank you making us smile and brightening our day, we need more people like you in the world!

It's more about knowing your animals then "industry standards".

This sub adult ball python has a 3 foot enclosure, but chooses to hang out in a 4 inch X 7 inch X 1 1/2 inch box in his enclosure.

He also loves to climb on his branches, on/under his cork bark among the other various items we give our snakes.

Not all super snows are created equal.

These three are very special, especially since it is definitely confirmed 1.1, 3rd is tsm but still to small to know for sure.

There is one other that we know of in existence, and we do know who has that gecko. These 3 were not created on purpose, they were created because after a year's research we still could not find the information needed and tested paired the geckos.

Gate keeping in reptile breeding is a real thing and it does create a lot of problems. We will not be gatekeepers, we will share our knowledge with anyone. It will be a fun 3 years or so to get some much needed research on the snow genes that is not complete.

We have the space. We have the geckos, 3 year research project activate!

The smiles on the faces of the kids when they hold reptiles is priceless!

08/11/2024

These are the some of if not the best enclosures on the market.

They offer a wide variety of customization and offer one of the best penetrative screens out there.

Are you a teacher at a school that would like a leopard gecko as a classroom pet?

Reptiles are great education tools for kids and can teach them a lot.

Tell us about you, your class and why you should be chosen! You can comment down below or reach out via messenger.

We will give you a list with pictures to choose from, and will donate the animal to your classroom!

You will have to provide the set up and care needs for the animal.

We will NOT ship but can do pick up at an expo or in the Sioux Falls area. We visit expos in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska with more coming this year!

Some examples of the geckos you will have to choose from below.

We will be at the Cold Blooded Expos in Bloomington on Sunday.

We will have Ocelot geckos (Paroedura pictus) geckos, leopaed geckos, dubia roaches and cleanup crew isopods.

Our roaches and isopods sell out fast so stop by early!

We will NOT have supplies this time due to limited table space.

We plan, manage and host reptile expos in 8 major cities in the US. You will find reptiles, amphibian

We spent the last week in Colorado on a herping adventure!

We did not see as many reptiles as we had hoped but found a few. We saw a lot of other wildlife and some great sight seeing.

Looking forward to more trips like these in the future.

Not all breeding is cute geckos and rainbows!
This pairing is one of those situations.

Out of 8 eggs only 4 hatched and only 2 of those 4 survived more then minutes. I am.not going to expand on the horror story that was the other two as it takes a strong stomach!

These two will be sold as pet only and mom has been retired as well and is looking for her forever home!
