Breeding colonies are carefully selected for genetic purity and diversity, temperament, outstanding coloration and vivid patterns. We strongly believe in carefully managing a captive breeding program and Rob’s experience in a zoo setting allows him to follow the same techniques and strategies as some of the top zoological institutions in the world.
Animals are kept in spacious cages, fed the highest quality diets available, and, they live in a smoke free, clean and quiet atmosphere. They even get filtered water! Two of the top reptile vets in the U.S. are within a 5 minute drive of my home…we spare no expense in providing the best care for our animals, and, in providing you with the healthiest animals on the market.
Even though we keep our animals in immaculate conditions, we still conduct regular fecal exams and blood work. This ensures that you only receive the healthiest and best cared for animals in the nation.
* All of the supplies and equipment that we sell are the EXACT same supplies and equipment we use in our home collection as well as the Wildlife Discovery Center. We only use the highest quality supplies and equipment on the market. When you purchase any item it has been tested over many years and has proven to be an important component of a successful captive breeding program (or just giving your pet reptile the best in care).
