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.

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.

I'm updating MorphMarket over the next few days with a few new faces, but while I was doing the photoshoots I figured I'd get a few of some of our holdbacks too. This lovely lady has already had two sheds at least. She's not growing out of her color like many told us. But, then again, the Mocha Artics usually hold very well.

While we're sitting here riding out Hurricane Milton I figured I could share these new creations by Andy ( ). Look it! Cute little jumping spiders and isopods! Soooo adorable I wish I could wear them myself. 😍

Unfortunately we were hoping to share these and many of our animals with you in Jacksonville this weekend but that's definitely not happening with this storm. Hopefully soon!

Stay safe out there!

One of the great things about having some of your lemon ghosts stick around for longer than planned is that you get to witness their changes as they shed. These three were listed prior to their first big shed, but they have recently had it and now I can share those photos as well. Their ads will be updated momentarily.

Both sets of photos were taken in the same situation, and the same setup, with the same camera. The only editing done was to crop them and label them. For this post though, I did also put them in the collages of course. So, to summarize, no color editing was done. They are this yellow (perhaps moreso).

I've been wearing pendants and jewelry made by Andy for over three years now, but I really feel like he's begun to fall into an insane groove with designing and making his pieces. Yes, you read that right. Andy made this pendant from start to finish, beginning with 3D modeling it, printing, molding, and finally casting it in silver (no, not the chain). He's also started to scale down their sizes a tad for reduced cost in materials and greater appeal for those of you that like smaller pendants. We're working on getting some photos to show scale.

What do you think? Is there a species you would love to see jewelry for in the hobby? I just love the cut-out look on this Ball Python.

Ready to see another badass male we'll have on our table in Daytona???

Check out this boy. 🔥🔥🔥

Table 57. We'll see you this weekend. 😉

These brothers haven't even shed yet and look at that yellow. They are going to be unbelievable. Think I edited the photos for color? Think again! The only thing I did was crop and label them.

Come see them in Daytona this weekend on table 57 in the main room at the National Reptile Breeders Expo! We've got a big banner. You shouldn't be able to miss us. 😉

Also, I have pink and purple hair. Lol.

Oh yeah. Now that's what I'm talking about. Too bad there's only ever like one or two high expression ones per clutch.

Sometimes you have to take what you can get in this business. I'm okay with this.

The first few snakes for this season are up on MorphMarket. All are females. We have more to list, just please bear with us, there's a lot going on over here and only so much time to work on this stuff.

Pairing was Zinnia (Superarctic Albino Conda Het Caramel Het Evans Hypo) x Praline (Superconda Frosted Het Albino)

We've added this stunning little guy to MorphMarket, but I'm currently considering putting him on the auction side. 🤔

25/07/2024

A small clutch, but a beautiful one nonetheless. After the first two non-Toffees pipped we began worrying the genetics on the sire were wrong. Thankfully, our fears were assuaged with the last pip, the Arctic Toffee.

24.EE14 Goldmoon (Arctic Toffee) x Breeze (Arctic Conda Het Sable Het Toffee).

We've listed a few more lovely little Crested Geckos including this little guy. We might even have a beautiful male Frappuccino to list. Keep an eye out. 😉

There's always something every season that's a little disappointing. I guess if it's a matter of not proving out a possible het we're still having a pretty good season. We really hoped to get some sables, but at least now we know.

We're thrilled that in the next few days our friend @elementalherps will receive her 2021 Lemon Ghost Woma baby. In my personal opinion, it was the nicest of the season. #snake #snakes #snakelover #snakebreeder #snakesofig #snakesofinstagram #westernhognosesnake #westernhognose #hognose #hognosesnake #hognosesnakesofinstagram #heterodonnasicus #herp #herplife #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #pets #petsofinstagram #breeder #colubrid #EctothermEmpire #petsofig #petsagram #reptilesofig #babyanimals #colubridcrazy #addiction #snakeheart #babysnake🐍 #snakesofig #snakeporn

We know that sometimes the camera just can't catch the coloring right, but a video can do we've added a few YouTube clips to some of the ads on MorphMarket so you can see what we see without questioning editing. #snakebreeder #snake #snakes #snakelover #snakebreeder #snakesofig #snakesofinstagram #westernhognosesnake #westernhognose #hognose #hognosesnake #hognosesnakesofinstagram #heterodonnasicus #herp #herplife #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #pets #petsofinstagram #breeder #colubrid #EctothermEmpire #petsofig #petsagram #reptilesofig #babyanimals #colubridcrazy #addiction #snakeheart #babysnake🐍 #snakesofig #snakeporn

Eventually, these little sassy jerks will shed and we can take a nice clutch photo. Three are incredibly reduced in pattern and are absolutely stunning. #Lampropeltisgetulafloridana #lampropeltis #floridana #kingsnake #floridakingsnake #snakebreeder #snake #snakes #snakelover #snakebreeder #snakesofig #snakesofinstagram #kingsnakesofinstagram #herp #herplife #reptiles #reptilesofinstagram #pets #petsofinstagram #breeder #colubrid #EctothermEmpire #petsofig #petsagram #reptilesofig #babyanimals #colubridcrazy #addiction #snakeheart
