I don't usually introduce myself in the new members section, I usually just fall into the mix and jump right in. But I had sort of a request, so here goes.
We're a small reptile breeding facility in eastern PA. We mostly focus on Ball Pythons and Boas, but we have and have had a few misfits here and there.
As of right now our collection consists of (in order of their arrival):
Rhezin (Rhezy)
Normal Male ball python. Approx. 7 years old. Unknown origin.
Rhezy was our first snake ever! Almost 6 years ago. He also has the most personality and is a ham for the camera
Drake
Male Albino Burmese Python. Approx 5 years old. Rescued.
Drake was our third snake, he was rescued from a friend of a friend who was not taking care of him. He was very thin, had a serious respiratory infection and was infested with mites. He was very weary of people. We were told he wouldn't make it when we rescued him. Somehow he pulled through, and is now our best show snake for educational shows, we would trust him with any child.
Valentine (Valen)
Male Ladder Tail Possible Het. Anery. Approx. 4 years old. Keith Redmon's Line.
Valentine was our last snake bought as "pet" status after my baby boa passed away. He's my sweet heart
Arlie
Female Pastel Ball Python. Born on my son's Birthday! '08. Brandon Bennett.
The first time I saw Arlie, I knew I had to have her. She was my first "morph" ball I purchased. The day Brandon shipped her to me, he told me her birthday.. I couldn't believe it was the same day as my son's! It was meant to be.
Juno (Miss Priss)
Female Lavender Albino Retic. Approx. 2-3 years old. Purchased at Hamburg, PA.
Juno has the typical "evil" retic look in her eye, but she's a big push over. I tell people this as she's gnawing on my head. She's a little cage aggressive, but other than that, she just hates dumb people (people who don't know how to act around large snakes). She bluffs me every now and again with her big mouth, but has only bit me all of once. I almost had a new ear ring hole!
Cassius
Male Jungle Pastel Ball Python. Born in '08. Purchased at Hamburg, PA.
Cassius is very shy, he's hardly ever not balled up. He's finally stopped being such a picky eater. Got him for a steal as a last minute buy at the 08 Christmas Hamburg show.
Salem
Male Cinnamon Pastel ball Python. approx. 2-3 years old. Ian G. Line.
Salem is a sweet heart. I got him straight from Ian's hands about a year ago as a proven breeder. He was Nicholas's Christmas Present that year. He's simply stunning and has been a great breeder for me so far and I hope he will be for years, I have big plans for him
Dorian
Male Spider Ball python. Approx. 2-3 years old. Shawn Tetrault.
Dorian is an awesome breeder. He would breed a rope if I put it in there with him! And he doesn't have a wobble, which is nice. He's a little shy, but he's coming around.
Paige
Female Normal Ball Python. Approx. 3-4 years old. Shawn Tetrault.
Paige is a doll. Even when she has eggs! She was a Virgin when I bought her, she laid her first clutch about 5 days ago. She didn't snap or make any attempt to bite, just hissed a little. She's not bad to look at either
Rhea
Female Possible Super Salmon. Approx. 3 years old. Keith Redmon's Line.
Rhea is Nicholas's girl, he loves her to death! She's pretty nice, but does not like having her tail touched, but I bother her all the time and do it anyway. She'll be breeding this year.
Daphne
Female Normal Ball Python. Age Unknown. Origin Unknown.
Daphne has a little attitude. We picked her up at the Hamburg show because she's a fat @$$, lol. She'll do anything to try and get away and she always tries to hide in really obvious places when she does. She just ovulated, so we should be seeing some eggs in a month or 2!
Sage
Female Hogg Island Boa. Approx. 3 years old.Purchased from Boamaster, produced by one of the "L" lines.
This is my little lady love. She's got a mouth on her and I love it!
She hisses whenever you reach in her cage, but has only bitten once when I was trying to hold her in one hand while closing the container. She has awesome color and I just love her little face off. She has a nub tail from her breeder leaving her with a mouse when she was a baby. She'll be breeding this year.
Iris
Aberrant Guyana Boa. Just over 1 year. Clockwork Reptiles.
She was supposed to be Nicholas's Christmas Present last year, but I lost my job and couldn't finish paying for her. We finally brought her home in Late April! She is gorgeous and is a sweet heart. I was glad he really liked her
Bastian (a.k.a. Bastard)
Male Possible Super Salmon Possilbe Calico. Approx. 2-3 years old. Keith Redmon's Line.
Bastian (also known as Bastard on occasion) is our male possible super salmon. He was a little cage aggressive when we got him, and Nicholas didn't like having to use a hook to get him out, and so the nick name began. I've pretty much broken him of his little issue though. He didn't make it into the spring photo shoot, we got him about 2 weeks after my flowers died!He gives really good hugs.
Evanna
Female White-Eyed Possible Super Salmon Orangetail Cross. Age Unknown. Origin Unknown.
We picked Evanna up as the steal of the last Hamburg show! Don't think the guy who was selling her knew what he was doing. She's our biggest female and is pretty sweet. Not half bad to look at either
And those gorgeous White eyes! To Die for!
The Eggs
Sex Unknown. Unborn. Heart and Soul Reptiles.
Our first clutch of eggs! Laid 5 days ago by Paige. 5 perfect eggs, no slugs. We won't know who dad is until they hatch as she was bred to both Salem and Dorian multiple times. 55 days to go!
That's every body for now! We will be at the Daytona show in August looking for a few more things and the eggs will be hatching then as well. I'm sure you'll here about it. The whole Western Hemisphere might here me when they start hatching
Enjoy!
As always, I'm happy to answer any questions.
Kind Regards,
Kylie Rae
