Endless depth, rich color, and strong enough to withstand the test of time. Whether it’s fine wood or fine snakes, mahogany speaks for itself.

It only makes sense to plug it into every recessive project. The future is mahogany.

Few people are fortunate enough to encounter such an extraordinary species in its natural environment 🪇 🐍 Today I came across a massive Timber. An apex predator that plays a vital role in maintaining ecosystem balance. Calm, powerful, and breathtakingly beautiful, this snake is a reminder that true wilderness still thrives around us. Encounters like this are priceless, and respecting their space is the least we can do.

Nothing like a Friday afternoon to put a big smile on my face 😁. What's everyone getting into?

What a weekend at the Southeast Reptile Expo!

This year’s Pokémon-themed show was out of this world. Tons of kids, tons of smiles, and a TON of love for the hobby. Seeing so many passionate young people reminded me how bright the future of our community really is.

A massive thank you to Bob and Mary for being amazing hosts and leading such an incredible team. You make this event a smooth, memorable experience every single time. SERE for life!

Shoutout to Snake Discovery for hanging out all weekend. You brought so much excitement and energy. You basically brought the Pikachu thunderbolt to Georgia⚡️.

Huge props to Chachi and Stefanie for taking hundreds of photos and helping so many people conquer their fear of snakes. Watching nervous hands turn into big smiles is what it’s all about. 🖤🐍

And of course, Peach State Pythons. Best vending partner we could ask for. Always a blast working beside you, twin 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻.

To everyone who stopped by the BDH table, whether you came to talk snakes, meet the crew, POKÉMON cards, or take home a new snake. THANK YOU. You’re the reason we do what we do.

Until next time… stay scaly, stay curious, and keep catching ’em all. 😉

Origin story

I've had a passion for keeping reptiles since before I can remember. After years of trial and error I successfully bred a pair of Baja Rosy Boas in 1998 at the young age of 13yrs old. I can remember that overwhelming joy like it was yesterday. At that moment I knew breeding reptiles would always be apart of my life. I spent the next 10 years working with multiple species including GTP, Carpet Pythons, Matlocks, Blood Pythons, Milksnakes, etc... During that time I struggled to consistently breed my animals. It was around 2003 I decided to focus on the larger constructors. This was the true birth of BDH although the name wasn't established until 2012.

Throughout the years I've had the opportunity to partner with some amazing people that helped us execute our vision. One in particular was my brother Robert Strickland. He had always kept reptiles and been down for a long road trip to pick-up something unique. It wasn’t until 2010 he officially joined the BDH movement. His persistence to breed ball pythons added another chapter to our story. I can remember joking that ball pythons were $5 snakes that make bad breeders feel good about themselves. It was inevitable one day a ball would catch my eye to change that mind set. It was a female Mystic Spider produced by Conley Herps that started our venture into the endless world of Ball python genetics.

Now fast forward a few more years, I still get excited watching eggs hatch and lose sleep wondering what genetic marvels are to come. As a hobbyist, breeder and passionate keeper I strongly believe it's our responsibility to enrich the lives of the people around us by sharing our experiences and love for these beautiful animals. I hope one day to inspire others to follow their dreams and never settle for less.
