Brian Barczyk really introduced me to the idea of reptiles being interesting. I wasn't really scared of them but he excited me with all of the genetic variability surrounding them. I love the genetics and excitement of new clutches. Having lost my father to pancreatic cancer, I knew the very likely path this would take, but I hoped something experimental would work. Rest in peace Brian, and deepest sympathies to your family and friends.

On behalf of the Barczyk family and our entire team at The Reptarium, it is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Brian Barczyk.

More than the guiding light of our organization, Brian's fervent passion for reptiles and wildlife, along with his steadfast dedication to education, has touched innumerable hearts and minds globally.

Our deepest sympathies are with Brian's family, his friends, and all those whose lives he has touched. We've lost an exceptional individual – a visionary, mentor, and friend. For those of us who had the privilege of working alongside him, Brian's absence leaves an immeasurable void.
As we navigate this difficult time, we find comfort in the memories and the lasting light of Brian's work. He will be deeply missed but indeed, never forgotten.

The Barczyk family invites you to join us for a Public Memorial Walk-through to honor Brian’s memory. The event will be held on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at Heritage Church, located at 44625 Schoenherr Rd. Sterling Heights, MI 48313 from 1-3pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages you to show your support by visiting https://thereptarium.com/pages/brianbarczyk . Your engagement and involvement are greatly valued during this time.

Also, at LegaSea's opening, visitors will find Brian's handprints. Guests place their hands in his, continuing his legacy in a simple, yet powerful gesture. Please continue to follow this page for updates.

Brian, we will see you in the next one. Everyone else, see you at LegaSea.

- The Reptarium Team.

TMW you counted the eggs you pulled while they were all stuck together and counted 6... took them apart while cutting but didn't re-count... then when hatching you think you had twins because there are 7 hatchlings. Posted a picture of them after cutting then realized... 7 eggs. Not 6. Oh my LOL!! Clutch 2023.02

It has been a hot minute! We officially have the first clutch of 2023! Looks like 2 normals possible het for orange ghost, 3 bamboo pinstripe possible pastel and het for orange ghost, and one bamboo (not sure until out of the egg) possible pastel and het for orange ghost. It is a good clutch to start the year with!

We had a late breeding season this year. The females just weren't interested until almost the end of the typical breeding season. We are looking at our first eggs showing up sometime this month. I'm excited about the pairings this year! Hopefully we will start pulling eggs soon. Incubator is on, working great, and up to temp!

Clutch #3 bamboo (pos pastel) to albino pied... making double hets!

When a 6 month old ball python confuses your thumb for a rodent... It really wasn't that painful but made a cool pattern LOL!

First clutch of the season in the process of being laid! I'm psyched

01/03/2021

Never in my life did I imagine that I would spend so much time and energy chasing rodents that got away from me... but here we are. HAHAHA!

This is so true! I normally end up without enough or throwing one away. Irritating!

The African soft furs new home!

31/01/2021

So excited about this pairing!

I'm still here! Breeding season is in full swing and possibly about done. Hoping for lots of eggs this year.

I started breeding African Soft Furs to be able to hopefully get my pickier ball pythons off of mice and onto larger prey. I have two 1:4 breeding colonies.

I knew there were at least a few babies (dad in one colony bit me the other day when my hand got too close) but I had no idea how many babies!

Saturday morning is cage cleaning time. I took the adults out then cleaned to avoid more bites. These pictures are the cages before cleaning. They are all nice and clean now. However, look at all the babies! People say they don't reproduce quickly but so far looks like mine do.

Time to build a rack and give these colonies a lot more room!

Breeding season 2021! Albino pied to bamboo ❤️

12/11/2020

Local-ish people: I have 6 female and 1 male hatchlings for sale. They are all 100% het albino and 50% het pied. They are all well started and eating mice or rat fuzzies. I will sell them for $85 each. If purchased at a pet store they would be at least $110. They all look very similar to photo of the snake I'm holding.

I also have a female kingpin. She is butter pinstripe, 100% het ghost and well started on live rat pups. I'm looking for $200. Her photo is the one with the coconut chip under her

If you look online for similar don't forget to add that shipping to the price, and you will see I'm beating the price.

If you would like to buy one, leave a comment or instant message me. You can also email me at [email protected]

From Lilith's bowl wrapping behavior, it is definitely time to start breeding season!
