These will be available on our morphmarket page after they shed and eat. Their average weight is 75 grams.

Each bears the signature Kalaotoa neck/body color and pattern, in addition to showing the HOGS recessive markers. If you’ve been wanting to make Kalaotoa Cows or OGSs, you will need one of these to diversify your collection!

Offspring are produced by Hell Creek Reptiles at our shop in Los Angeles by a Pure Kalaotoa (Fascination Herps Line) x Orange Ghost Stripe (produced by Andy Dietz).

The Male Kalaotoa is 7ft long and the Female OGS is 14ft long. She laid 26 good eggs that incubated for 76 days at 90F until hatching.

All offspring are produced and sold by Hell Creek Reptiles. When you buy from us, know that we take pride in what we do and make every effort to document everything to the best of our abilities so that each customer knows what they are buying and where it came from!

We don’t flip reptiles and we don’t sell to flippers!

Happy ! This Tenontosaurus (MOR 682) was discovered in ~ 105-million-year-old deposits of the Cloverly Formation in southern Montana. Shed teeth from the raptor Deinonychus were found around the skeleton, suggesting it was killed and eaten by a pack of the carnivorous dinosaurs.

Our male Super Dwarf Motley Tiger Purple Snow doing his "courtship" dance.... Actually, I hear a lot of opinions on why male retics do this, but I don't think anyone actually knows the reason, it's just assumed it's "courtship" behavior because males only do this when there are other mature males or females in the vicinity. Females are polyandrous and will mate with as many males as possible to ensure a health fertile clutch. Males will fight to the death to win the opportunity to mate! Male retics do exhibit very aggressive combative behavior during the breeding season, and will fight to the death, or until one male surrenders and leaves. This behavior in sharp contrast to other large boids that actually form breeding balls consisting of up to a dozen males and one female. The anaconda is known for doing this. It's important to remember to never put two male retics together for any length of time because they will end up challenging each other and could possibly hurt, maim, or even kill one another. . . . . . . #jhumuseumstudies #liveExhibits #livingexhibition #zoo #museum #reptileshow #reptilesupershow #reptiliannationexpo #hellcreekreptiles #dynamoterror #livingart #paleontology #fossilhunter #herpetology #herptoculture #reticulatedpython #malayopython #superdwarf #dwarfoftheday #superdwarfsnow #superdwarfmorph #reptilegenetics #reptilebreeder #exhibit #dinosaurs #reptilesofinstagram

Wow! A really old cell phone video from 2010 when I volunteered at the #WyomingDinosaurCenter in #Thermopolis #Wyoming for 2 weeks. It was my very first time in a #paleontology prep #lab or excavating #fossils in the #field. I couldn't believe I was actually preparing a 150 million year old #fossil #Diplodocus #vertebra. It was such a #life changing #experience, I started having a change of heart with my #career #goals. A lot has happened since then, including discovering a new species of #dinosaur named #Dynamoterror, and being accepted into #graduateschool in #Museumstudies at #JohnsHopkinsUniversity and starting my own #business breeding #reptiles at #HellCreekReptiles. What a #crazy life we live. Follow your #dream!

I wonder what's in our new displays? Come see for yourself at #REPTILIANNATIONEXPO in #Denver August 21st - 22nd and at the #reptilesupershow in #Anehiem September 11th - 12th! We'll have a huge selection of #superdwarf retics and lots of really cool #dinosaur #fossils and #fossilreplicas Come visit our booth! #HellCreekReptiles #Dynamoterror #DwarfOfTheDay #jhumuseumstudies #paleontology #Herpetology #herpetoculture #liveexhibits #livingexhibition #repileshow

Who We Are

Welcome! I'd like to take this opportunity to explain who I am and the inspiration for my business and it's name: My name is Brian Watkins. I am the owner of Hell Creek Reptiles. My business specializes in the importation and captive propagation of snakes and lizards. Our main focus is the selective breeding of super dwarf, and mainland reticulated python morphs. We also sell museum quality fossils collected from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana and South Dakota. I've been keeping reptiles since the late 90's and hatched my first clutch of python eggs in 1999. I have a B.S. degree in Zoology and I am a seasoned paleontological field technician and fossil preparator. I've participated in the following paleontology expeditions: Excavating the bones of the "Tufts-Love" T Rex in MT - Burke Museum of Natural History. Collected Tyrannosaur teeth from the "Bisti Beast" in the Bisti Badlands, NM - Dinosaur Institute, NHM of Los Angeles Discovered and collected D. dynastes in the Menefee formation of NM - Utah Museum of Natural History Excavated whale fossils in the Miocene silt beds of the Shark Tooth Hill in Bakersfield, California - NHM of Los Angeles. In 2012, as a geology student and volunteer, I co-discovered one of the oldest known Tyrannosaurids in the world in New Mexico named Dynamoterror dynastes. You can read about Dynamoterror here: https://peerj.com/articles/5749/ Now, what is the Hell Creek? The Hell Creek is a famous (Cretaceous era) dinosaur fossil bearing rock formation located in several different states just east of the Rocky Mountains, Montana and South Dakota are most famous for it. This is where the fossils of T Rex and Triceratops where first discovered by Barnum Brown in the early 1900's.The Hell Creek formation is comprised of many different type of fluvial and lucastrine sedimentary rocks. Recording the long extinct ecosystems, It was formed through millions of years of erosion of the Laramide mountains. This mountain range was situated on the west coast of the Western Interior Seaway. Another important feature of the Hell Creek is that it records a catastrophic mass extinction event, when a massive meteor crashed into the earth. Creating the K/Pg boundary. The Hell Creek formation was deposited approximately 66.8 MYA to 65 MYA, when the dinosaurs went extinct. Our name honors the "Hell Creek" formation and the nightmarish beasts that once roamed the land, air and sea during that time period in our Earth's history. We hope you join us in our interest and enthusiasm for all things reptile and dinosaur! Thank you ~ HCR
