Edit: Dang I think that’s a record. Not even three hours and he’s already spoken. In a few weeks I will be repeating the pairing that produced this guy and pairing his cinnamon brother with two ladies so with any luck I will have more to offer this season!

I am excited to announce that I am offering one of my Cinnamon Axanthic condas publicly. I am already holding back two from 2025 on top of my 2023 male and so I would rather see this guy contribute to someone’s program than just taking up space. He is also 66% pos het Albino. Check out his ad below and spread the word 🙌

Draaken Cove will be in Columbia, SC this Saturday the 20th! I will have an assortment of superarctics, axanthic and condas. If you are looking for something a little bit bigger than an itty bitty baby I also have a handful of subadults left from last year. Come stop by and chat hognoses!

In May I had a clutch of twelve babies hatch. At the time I announced them all as male. Well I was double checking and… meet the one lone girl! Imagine having eleven brothers 😵‍💫 I don’t typically name babies that I am not keeping but I feel she deserves one 🤔
