Boas
Amazon Tree Boas:
|
Group: 5.5.Growouts
The majority of my collection is comprised of my favorite species of snake, Corallus hortulanus; otherwise known as the Amazon Tree Boa. Almost all of my animals are captive born and bred from a few select breeders in the US that I trust. I should preface that I trust very few people when it comes to keeping, breeding, selling, and caring for reptiles. This means that I have, in my opinion, some specimens that are what I consider irreplaceable. I try to lean on more females than males as I like to give females the year off after having a litter. My main focus regarding this species is:

Barranquilla Locale Columbian Boas (Bci):
Group: 1.1
|
I'm not a "hybrid guy" to say the least. However, these boas share traits of both species. Their scale counts don't match imperator, nor do they match constrictor. Their natural range also has overlapping territories of both species. It's therefore, a safe assumption, the DNa testing would most likely reveal that this species has hybridization in the wild. My person opinion is that they should receive subspecies status or a full species designation. It should be noted I'm no taxonomist so this is just my personal opinion on what I've read through my own research. I'm working with a lone pair that I purchased from Vin Russo. They're probably one of my favorite boas and worth keeping, so much so... that I would sell some of my Amazons before I got rid of these. I absolutely love them - from color to temperament to husbandry, they're hard to beat!

Pythons
Blood Pythons:
|
Group: 1.1
I'm currently working with a pair of Blood Pythons. They came from Kara Norris of The Blood Cell. I've found Bloods to be extremely rewarding to work with thus far. This is actually my 3rd time working with them and it feels like they're here to stay. Contrary to Ball Pythons, Blood Pythons actually retain their color into adulthood and also offer polymorphism so the babies within a single clutch could look drastically different from one another. ****I've attached a photo courtesy of Kara Norris which shows the parents to my pair of blood pythons.**** |

Colubrids
Red-tail Green Rat Snakes:
|
Group: 1.1
This has to be a species that I have had to earn respect from. I absolutely love them and have grown to find them even more fascinating than I expected. They truly are an alert species with an awareness of their surroundings. They seem to key in on movement more so than other colubrid species and I've found them to appear extremely intelligent. My first pair were purchased directly from Dan Mulleary of DM Exotics as part of a Malaysian shipment that consisted of fresh farm-hatched babies. My pair were part of that shipment. My second pair were also purchased from Dan, but were purchased as established adults who he treated externally and internally for parasites. In summary, a have a captive hatched pair I've raised, and an adult WC pair the are LTC's. Both have a very different look, with my first pair being covered in black with hints of blue, and the older pair having less black. |

Monitors
Red Ackie Monitors:
Group: 1.1
I have a single pair of Ackie monitors from my good friend, alan Stevens at Origin Reptile. They are a proven pair and the male, Morbeus, has a very unique ocellated pattern; one in which I hope to enhance through selective breeding.

Geckos
Chahoua Geckos:
Group: 1.1
I have a lone pair of mainland locale chahoua geckos that are unrelated. My female came from Rockstar Geckos and my male came from Josh's frogs. Both were advertised and guaranteed to be pure mainland. They are probably one of my favorite species and I can't wait to breed them! I keep all of my geckos, regardless of the species, in 100% bioactive vivariums. I've found this to not only be more enjoyable for me, the keeper, but also the geckos as I have seen behaviors from them, not witnessed in tub setups. I'd rather have less geckos in more appealing enclosures than more geckos in tubs. Additionally, and as a bonus, I rarely have to clean their cages since the cleanup crews do that for me!

Tarantulas
|
I keep a variety of tarantula species for fun. I've kept them many times and gotten out of them for a number of reasons. Now... I've selected a few species I'd like to keep with the intent to breed. Having worked with old and new world species, I feel like I'm ready to take the next step which is to try me hand at breeding them. Again, I've gotten completely out of inverts, and have just acquired the following species in which I'll be raising up in hopes of pairing within the next couple of years:
1.) Avicularia sp. British Guiana (metallica) - New World 2.) Amazonius germani (formerly Pseudoclamoris gigas) - New World 3.) Brachypelma albiceps - New World 4.) Caribena versicolor - New World 5.) Cyriopagopus sp. hati hati - Old world 6.) Ephebopus murinus - New World 7.) Grammostola pulchra - New World 8.) Homeomma chilensis - New World 9.) Phormingochilus sp. rufus - Old World 10.) Orphnaecus philippinus - old World 11.) Theraphosinae sp. Piura - New World |
