Heterodon | Drymarchon | Pituophis | Other Snakes
I am looking to start future breeding projects with:
-Flame garter snakes aka BLAIS PHASE
-MORE southern hognoses
-MORE colorful eastern hognose snakes
-Coastal plains milksnakes (esp. NC animals)

If you or anyone you know has any of these available, please contact me via e-mail.

During the month of September 2008, I appeared as a guest lecturer at The Richard Stockton College Of New Jersey's "Extinct and Threatened Life" course as well as at the Metropolitan Herpetological Society's September meeting. My topic was "Endangered and Threatened Species" and included live specimens and a Power Point presentation. It was my third time as guest lecturer at the Herp Society and the fifth time I was asked to come back to Stockton since my graduation in 2003. Thanks to the event coordinators and all who attended. You can see more HERE.

Let me get this straight: I am not a business. Businesses make money! This is a hobby for me! If I can recoup some money that I have spent on the husbandry needs of my snakes, so be it! I do not buy "leftover" animals from breeders, take wild animals to sell, or buy imported animals for resale here at a profit. If I have an animal available, it is either an animal that I produced or a quality animal that I purchased for myself.

I have been keeping snakes and other herps my whole life and even own a Bachelor's degree in Biology (Richard Stockton College '03). I give all of my snakes the best care possible. I have a very low number ofsnakes compared to most breeders, so I am able to concentrate on the twenty or so breeders I do own. I do not keep snakes for profit. This is my hobby, and I will offer offspring as well as extra animals from time to time. I am fully permitted by the New Jersey Dept. of Fish and Wildlife to keep the species in my possession.
