Breeding Plans

I've finally acquired a breeding pair of Corn Snakes (Pantherophis Guttatus Guttatus) to facilitate my long-term goal of breeding snakes. A running fascination of mine, I've long wanted to profit from my herpetoculture hobby, while at the same time doing something I love. Corn Snakes are a docile, easy-to-care-for species that are extremely common in the pet trade, so unfortunately the market is saturated with them. However, in my area (Southern Oregon) I have the unique situation of being on good terms with two pet shop owners, and being employed by one. I've already come to an agreement with each of them, offering a discounted price for sales of the hatchlings, which should allow me to profit considerably from the two specimens I currently own.

Another long absence and I'm back. Sorry it's been so long since my last post (over a year). Rest assured I'm still active in the herp trade. Since my last post I've sadly lost my Schneider's Skink, Nuzzle. I've acquired a Sudan Plated Lizard though, Nubbinz, and he's proven a hardy and trouble-free reptile to care for. I've set up my Bearded Dragon, Sola, with a massive 5'x3'x2' cage that he seems to enjoy. I'll be posting more pics and info in the very near future, now that I'm back on the blog.
