As both scientists and artists our love for animals knows no bounds and because of this we will never offer animals we wouldnt buy for ourselves.

Such a cool species. These are Neotropical Puffing Snakes (also known as Bird eating snakes), Phrynonax poecilonotus. This is a neat species of tree snake that can cohabitate and feed on frozen thawed chicks, quail, and rodents. They are captive bred, and are stunning and just incredible to watch. For now we have them paired, though I do plan on listing them to MorphMarket. We want this species to work for us, but I don't know if this is the time in our lives right now to really be trying. I'd love a big display for them, but I'm not sure that's possible in our small home.

This funny little dude just thinks he's so scary, but look at his cute little face!! Still, I didn't tell him otherwise. It's okay to sometimes keep these small things to yourself to allow others to feel stronger about themselves. We all need that sometimes. What he doesn't understand is that he's a genetic powerhouse for any breeding project with caramel or frosted. Or... Well, maybe that's why he's smiling so much??? 😆

Breeding season is in full swing here on this Valentine's Day. This little guy is still a bit young, but even he's feeling the love in the air. Tell me, would you answer his call?

Pictured is the Arctic Albino Superconda Het Caramel Het Evans Hypo that is listed on our MorphMarket.

Lemon Ghost Woma color and pattern evolution are always so satisfying to watch. This boy is over 30g now. Still plenty of growth and change potential, but I can't say it's disappointing as is.

Have you ever hatched out a snake that turned out to be male and you really wanted to find a reason to keep him around and use him in a project? This is that guy. Have you ever had one hang around for longer than seems appropriate given his good looks? This is that guy.

I'm close to finishing up the week long project of getting updated photos and weights of all animals on MorphMarket. I'm also adding a few new ones in the process! Keep an eye out!

Andy recently had the privilege of working on a memorial pendant for Tom Harbin. Unfortunately Tom had passed earlier this year and his daughter in law Alisha had asked if he could make a piece that incorporated some of Tom's ashes. Without hesitation , Andy agreed. There were a few bumps along the way but he recently completed it. He used fused glass to encase his ashes and set them in this custom pendant of a corn snake, the first of which Alisha had received from Tom. We really appreciate **pinharbins for trusting Andy with such an important piece. Tom was always a wonderful person and a positive presence at reptile shows and will be greatly missed by the community.

If you purchased an animal from us at Orlando Repticon this weekend and you have not received the history information on the animal, please contact us (with the animal ID on the cup and your email)! Unfortunately I have lost access to all of the contact information I took down this weekend and have no way of contacting you to send you the information I would love to get to you! I am so very sorry for this. 😓

To everyone else, we are currently running a sale on MorphMarket and have shipping open for the next two days, weather permitting. Don't miss your last chance to get in orders before Christmas!

And we're here at Orlando Repticon all weekend! Come see us and talk to Andy about his amazing jewelry! Any pieces he sells are only funding the purchase of more equipment to up his game. 😊

Also, check out Beverly the Christmas Beaver and Nicholas the Santa Gator, our new Christmas decorations and tablemates from . Deanna is incredible and I am so grateful she brought my new little friends to me today. Beautiful work. I love them so. 😍

We have some of our Proven Crested Gecko breeders listed on MorphMarket. In case you missed it, we're clearing out the geckos in an effort to reduce stress and burnout. We'll be at the Orlando Repticon this weekend, but our Crested Geckos will not be with us.

In case you were wondering what I meant by high red Phelsuma borbonica, this is it. The blue is still there, but it's contrasted wonderfully by a deep red. I was sad to pack up my high blues yesterday, but I know they're in good hands and we found a ton of eggs in the process. These two are still available, so if you're interested, hit me up. I can bring them for pick up at the Orlando Repticon, but I won't bring them unless they sell. It's not worth traumatizing them and ripping apart their tank otherwise.

We've decided to step out of the day geckos and crested gecko hobby in order to reduce some of the stress and strain from working with the animals. Hognose are staying for now, but the rest will be needing new homes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving any of them away. I have good, established pairs that get along incredibly well together and produce. My breeding pairs are just that, and so they aren't pristine and undamaged like juveniles are. However, they've been living together since reaching adulthood, and thus have the bonds that most day gecko breeders will tell you can be difficult to sometimes figure out. I have two pairs of Phelsuma borbonica (one high red, one high blue) and two pairs of Lygodactylus williamsi that will be/are available.

Our "Brown Belly" Lavender pairing this year was made in attempt to prove out siblings. Yes, we paired siblings back together to test out something that we were seeing in several past clutches. It's something you must occasionally do in this hobby. Thankfully, we know the grandparents were completely unrelated and all of the babies produced came out hearty and healthy. I'm not sure what our overall view is on the results, but regardless of what we were aiming for, we produced what looked to be Woma or "woma-like" patterning on many of the babies. We can't keep them all, but we are keeping this male PH that was the most extreme in expression of the pattern.

This is a good reminder that as a breeder, you are responsible for making sure your animals are appropriately packed. Use quality boxes and insulation. Use climate control options when possible. Almost every box I send out has at least a Cryopak in it, unless the weather is optimal. In Florida, it rarely is. I am grateful that this box survived this damage and that the gecko inside was healthy and intact. Not even the stress from whatever happened here caused the gecko to drop its tail. It could have gone so much worse. The lives of these animals are in our hands. They deserve more and should be well cared for.

My thanks go to for affordable and well made reptile shipping supplies.

be better.

This incredible lady is probably the single best Lemon Ghost Woma this year. She's been eating from the beginning and is an absolute beast already. We got lucky with this one. She is staying here and is not available, but we couldn't help but share her.

There's some interesting banding pattern that came from our brown belly lavender project. We're keeping the most extreme of the babies to show this pattern (happens to be a possible het and I will share it later when I finish cropping and labeling the photos) but this male is one of the other beauties to show it well. He is available. As are a few others I still have to finish cropping and posting.
