We will be at the Hamburg Reptile Show tomorrow 12/7!
6180 Morgantown Rd
Morgantown, PA 19543

Will be bringing an assortment of geckos, a few blue tongue skinks, rhino rat snakes, terrarium plants & some invertebrates. I will also have a few whites treefrog tadpoles from the recent spawn if anyone would like to raise their own. Typed up a little guide on that topic as well! Be sure to stop by and chat herps! Should be a fun day!

She is not the biggest fan of being pestered but she gave me a moment for at least *one* decent photo, so I’ll take it, lol! Love the way her banding looks.
Fingers crossed for some more baby Irian Jaya’s this coming season!

Two great looking baby northerns, these were produced by and I’m thrilled to have them here.

One on the left is Sunrise and Swedish lines plus het. Ivory, the baby on the right is a combo of Sunrise and Red lines. Should be fun to add them into the stuff I’m working on here and of course the ivory project too. Eating well & pretty chill little skinks.

Hershey Reptile Expo tomorrow - 11/17!
3425 Old Hershey Rd, Elizabethtown, PA 17022-9050

Bringing a fine assortment of skinks, anoles, geckos, and some uncommon colubrids including Boiga cyanea, false water cobra, and rhino rat snakes - all 2024 babies. A lot of holdbacks in the mix and will be running some deals on a few critters to hopefully knock down some pretty intense vet bills we had this past week.
Will also have some terrarium plants including a few rare sp., & roaches (hissers, deaths heads, shadows). Be sure to stop by and chat herps. 😎

Egernia striolata, another cool little Aussie skink species. Relatively new additions we picked up at tinley thanks to

Eating great, settling in, and I feel like the female is either gravid or cycling 🤔🤨 time will tell..
Enjoying keeping these guys so far, they have been out and active basically every time I’ve walked past the enclosure, seems like a really fun display species!

Happy Halloween! 🟠⚫️
Two really awesome blue tongue skink growouts/holdbacks here. Dark line was produced by and the high orange was produced here in-house last season, from Mango. Looking forward to next year!

All of the adults are now in brumation, and there are going to be some very cool pairings in the works 2025.

29/10/2024

A little update on one of my favorite holdbacks. Lineage has hypo sunset Turner white, heavily leaning towards TW. However, idk where that super dark banding came from which keeps getting more bold with every shed! Really fun one to watch and I will be attempting to repeat the same pairing again this coming season, as I’m really happy with how the whole litter turned out pattern, structure, & temperament wise.

27/10/2024

Amel Pictus gecko but this one’s a bit of an oddball, way darker eyes than usual for what’s technically an albino. This one is a holdback!

18/10/2024

Hamburg/Morgantown PA reptile show tomorrow! I will be bringing blue tongue skinks(a few babies left!), geckos, and some Boiga cyanea babies. Along with some invertebrates and tropical plants. Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday morning. As usual, we will be on the left side of the venue, back right wall. Taking over the corner there will cool herps next to 😎

The baby reticulated water skinks that hatched earlier this year are doing awesome! Would love to repeat this success next season. Absolutely love the pattern on the babies and they are decently tolerant of me pestering them on occasion 😆

These are not leaving so please don’t ask! However I am on the hunt for additional ones to add genetic diversity to the project.

10/10/2024

An unexpected last minute update - We are vending NARBC TINLEY! This is a one-time occasion and will not be a consistent thing (maybe someday!) so if any long distance buddies want to stop by and chat herps - Tables 95-96. Will be with a few friends in the same space. Bringing quite a bundle of pictus geckos including some very nice holdbacks, amel, anery, bold stripes etc, so if you’ve been wanting to add some, now is the time! Also bringing blue tongue skinks, some rare geckos and handful of gargs/cresties. Maybe a few other cool little surprises. Cannot wait! This show is always something we look forward to attending just for fun so it is going to be awesome.

04/10/2024

A couple of anery pictus geckos. Produced a pretty good amount of both visuals and hets this season! And selecting for the lightest ones with stripes has definitely yielded some nice results.

27/09/2024

One of 3 visual ivory blue tongues I’ve got here. Love how this one has a little bit of speckled coloration they’ve held onto.

Very small chance we might produce a couple next year since a few of them (not this one though!) and a het are just about up to size. 🤞Almost time for everyone to head down for brumation, season went by crazy fast.

16/09/2024

Officially a holdback lol! This little guy is just turning out too nice so even if it means having another extra male around I gotta keep ‘em 😂 Namib Giant Gecko - Chondrodactylus angulifer.

A nice little bundle of Amel pictus geckos. Hatched quite a few pictus this season and slowing picking out my holdbacks as they grow.

01/09/2024

Holdback Mango offspring. I knew this lil would be awesome when he was born - swipe for the baby pic! That progression was just phenomenal.

Almost mossy frog season for the year! Have a decent group of tadpoles starting to morph out and several more batches on the way. This video is of one of the biggest adults here. . . . . #vietnamesemossyfrog #thelodermacorticale #frog #treefrog #reptilesofinstagram #reptilesofinsta #herpetoculture #reptilekeeper #reptilebreeder

Checking on one of the Oedura coggeri groups. Have O. monilis eggs on the ground already but these guys are holding out! A few look promising but nothing yet. Still a really cool species and lucky to have them here. . . . . . #oeduracoggeri #velvetgecko #reptilesofinstagram #reptilesofinsta #reptileoftheday #reptilekeeper #reptilebreeder #geckosofinstagram #geckobreeder #lizardsofinstagram
