Manticora Reptiles & Rattery Working to provide quality animals since 2018. Amazing pet rats are our next journey!! Hello! Which I just recently beat! - (02/29/24).

My name is Adahlia ByPunC, and I am the owner/founder of Manticora Reptiles & Rattery. I originally started out breeding just Crested Geckos in 2017-2018, and was slowly working my way into other species. Such as the (Oedura monilis), or the (Teratolepis fasciata).

I was planning on moving into breeding even more reptiles from 2019-2023, but the COVID pandemic really hit myself and my family ha

rd. I was diagnosed with 2 different forms of cancer, one of which being a form of Thyroid cancer. I was forced to make a lot of tough decisions relatively quickly to better myself, and now here we are.
-
In 2020 I got my first group of rats, all boys. I had never owned small rodents before, so handling them gave me immense anxiety. I've worked on that so much over these past few years, and I think I'm finally at a place where I can say I'm truly ready to begin healing and move forward.


- Rats have so much personality and love, all squished down into such a small package. My new goal is to produce healthy, well-tempered rats for people looking to add a little friend(s) to their family! Rats have been kept and cared for by people for hundreds, if not thousands of years. They're mentioned in cultures all around the world for being one of the most loyal of animals, and most accepting of our love.

I truly believe bringing rats into my life, almost 3 years ago now, saved me.

First Steps

I got my first reptile, a Leopard Gecko, when I was 10 years old. At the time I didn’t get much help from my parents, so all the information I received on care was what I had read online and in books. Unfortunately the animal I bought was sick from the beginning, she came from a chain pet store, and died soon after I got her.

After losing her I decided I didn’t want reptiles until I was older and more experienced. As the years went by, I had other opportunities to care for various species including Water Snakes, Red Eared Slider Turtles, Painted Turtles, and other species. I did my best to learn as much as I could and provide the highest quality of care I could for my animals, but when the care of your animals is reliant solely on your parent’s fragile income, there’s not much you have to work with.

By the time I was in high-school, I had moved away from reptiles and into other things. I still loved them, as well as all other animals, I just didn’t have the means to care for them and have them in my life. When I graduated and got my first job I finally had a chance and the means to provide for a reptile, and so I brought home Bonita. She was my first reptile in years, a Leopard Gecko, and since I got her its turned into an obsession almost. With one after another, new species after new species.

And that’s how I got here today. I fell in love with Crested Geckos. Their ease of care, beautiful and highly varied morphs, and their calm dispositions make them wonderful pets. Starting this year I’ve begun pairing several Cresties in hopes of producing high quality babies. I’m still taking my first steps into this world, but I’m hoping you’ll all join me for the ride and hopefully decide to buy one of my babies in the future.
