We are new to the Web, but not new to reptiles. Since early childhood, I have
had a fascination with reptiles; mainly snakes. When I was six, I
captured my first snake. I noticed a Hawk attacking something on the
ground in my friends backyard; so I did what any boy at that age would
do, investigate the situation. So, I scaled the neighbors fence and
headed over to where the action was occuring. Once I arrived at my
destination, I identified the victim as a snake of some sort. I then
proceeded to extract the snake from the Hawk's attack, and scale the
fence back into my own yard. My dad informed me that the snake was a
garter, and scolded me to some degree about the possibilty of picking
up a venomous snake and subsequent death to me. So, I headed his words,
and he proceeded to put the snake into an old coffee can for me, and
put some holes in the lid. He then put the coffee can on the top shelf
in the garage; partially so I would feel secure that he was keeping it
for me, and so I could not reach it. He later released the garter back
into the wild; I never saw it again. Ever since these events took
place, I have been fascinated with reptiles. My first large constrictor
was an 8' Burmese Python when I was fifteen; and have been keeping
large pythons and boas ever since. I also managed to get a job at a
local pet store for awhile. So now, at the age of 31, I am finally in a
position to begin my breeding projects. Why start so late? Well, the
Military has kept me in places where I could not keep reptiles for
quite some time, and other factors were involved. But, I am now able to
do what I have always dreamed of doing; raise and breed large
constrictors, and offer them to you at an affordable price.
