I own a variety of snakes. Many of them I have in pairs and breed them. The snakes I am currently breeding are:

  • California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis getula californiae) I have 4 adults, 3 females and a male. My male has normal vertical bands. One female has a lot more white in her bands. Another is a banded albino. The other is striped. These are very popular snakes that are good for beginners.

  •    Male banded California Kingsnake   Female Striped California Kingsnake   Female Albino California Kingsnake

  • Pueblan Milksnake (Lampropeltis Triangulum Campbelli) Typical red, black, and white bands. These are very pretty snakes.

  •    Male Pueblan Milksnakes

  • Variable Kingsnake (Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri) These are my favorites. They are a smaller kingsnake that are usually very mild and gentle. They can vary quite a bit in pattern and color, hence the name.

  •    Female Milksnake Phase Variable Kingsnake   Female Orange milksnake Phase Variable Kingsnake   Male Orange Leonis Variable Kingsnake

  • Western Hognose Snake (Heterodon nasicus) Mine were born in captivity, but these interesting snakes are also native to Minnesota.

Here are some reptiles that I have which I plan to breed in the near future.

  • Black Milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum gaigeae) A large milsnake that can get over 6ft long. They start off as babies with typical red, black, and white bands. As they get larger they switch to a jet black. With mine you can see the transformation as they are get older.

  • Red Milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum syspila) I have wanted some of these since I was a kid. They are such a cool little snake. They are native to the east central US.

  • Crested Gecko (Rhacodactylus ciliatus) One of the best pet lizards available today. They prefer cooler, room like, temperatures, don't need special heat or lighting, eat insects and fruit type foods, and unlike many lizards, are handleable. Cresteds also come in a variety of colors and are neat looking with lots of personality.
