I've always loved snakes. When I was a kid I used to catch garter snakes and corn snakes in the yard and hold on to them, watching them move through my fingers for a while before letting them go. I bought my first Ball Python in 2011, a young male lesser platinum. I didn’t decide to get into breeding until 2019, when my daughter-in-law's interest and knowledge in ball pythons opened my eyes to the endless possibilities. I became obsessed, started researching, talking to other breeders, applying what I learned, and continue to do so. I now have around 100 snakes in my collection, including: ball pythons, western hognose, corn snakes, blood pythons, boas, and kingsnakes. I enjoy working with them, continuing to learn more about them, and educating people about them.
