Sylvara, my first corn snake. She is a Bubblegum Snow aka Pink and Green Snow (anyone who has one knows how hard the pink is to photograph!).


Sigurd is my second corn snake. I got him from a pet shop as a hatchling skinny and dehydrated and I didn't want him to die. His colors are amazing! I and a lot of other breeders think he is an Ultramel possibly het Sunkissed. Breeding trials are in his future!


This is Fenrir, the Baja Nitida kingsnake. He is still just a little guy. Only a year old.


Next up is probably my favorite pet shop find! Jormungandr is a very unique California kingsnake. He looks like a coastal stripe but lacks the thinner white stripe down his back. Only two have been found in the wild like this. It's believed to be linked to Mosaic. He has been shipped all over the US since he hit two years of age and so far we know this look is co-dominant! I have seen Desert Phase snakes like this labeled as "Tire Track". But I and the other breeders interested in this look have not been able to find any!


Here we have Freya, Jormungandr's one and so far only daughter! She was born this past summer. She looks just like her daddy! Sadly she is also an escapee and has been missing for 4 months...




My boyfriend also has two snakes which I love just as much as my own.

Jack is a Desert Phase California kingsnake.


Ruby is the most recent addition. She is a nice Amel corn snake. A guy my boyfriend works with gave this baby snake to him because his daughter wouldn't take care of it.

I am a newbie here, Wow, some awesome creatures! I am a reptile person who has an interest in frogs and toads. I have two snakes I have rescued. A black house snake - will post a picture and a Gaboon Viper - Bitis Gabonica - Tatiana is her name (she is actually a he!!) and I have had her for 3 years this past September. She is 4'' long and weighs 4,3kg and will eat ANY rodents alive, dead or even long dead! She lives in my glass top coffee table and is very docile - but I don't handle her AT ALL. I live in the DRC and have seen things here that I have seen nowhere else in Africa! I also have a home near Cape Town where there leopard toads in my Garden and in Nambia where I love exploring the reptiles and nature. Here some pics of Tatiana as she apricates on the lawn out back.

My 5 year old daughter playing with wild platysaurus lizards in Namibia... they survive the attention, despite extended exposure to sweaty hands they are released safely back into the wild!!! She will pick up anything, we have to watch her carefully...
