After a few years, a teacher at the school I was attending had a pair of female snakes and we bred mine to his and hatched about 50 snakes. Now I was hooked on both corn snakes and breeding them. I kept two of those back and traded in several of them to the same pet shop for a snow corn that I still have to this day! Over the years I began to acquire different morphs and to create some using my own projects. I've personally always considered it important to me to not let my collection grow so big that the snakes don't become nothing more than a number and remain pets. I've always put quality before quantity in everything I do with reptiles.
Several years ago, I decided that I wanted something "fancy" to house and display some of my snakes in. Previously, I had only used standard glass aquariums that had been convered for reptile use. After much reading on the material I decided to build a custom wooden enclosure. I actually ended up building two of them. Building those brought a whole new sense of satisfaction; to actually build something useful and that looked (what I think) pretty good. I really got the carpenter's itch and continue to build custom vivariums and racks and enjoy doing it immensely.
If you have any questions, commends, and/or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. Doesn't matter if it's about corns, cages, etc, I'll be glad you answer and help out any way I can.
Payment plans can also be worked out on a case by case basis. For holding a snake on a payment plan, a 25% non-refundable deposit is required to hold the animal while it is being paid off. During that time, the snake will continue to be cared for just as I would any other animal, so you know that while you’re paying it off it is continuing to recieve the absolute best care.
I also offer
waiting lists for expected hatchlings.
Currently there is no deposit required to
be placed on the waiting list. The waiting
list is on a first come basis. To be placed
on the waiting list, use the contact page
to contact me with what you are interested
in and I will place you on the list. Once
the eggs begin to hatch, I will contact you
to confirm your order. At that time, a 25%
non-refundable deposit will be required to
hold your snakes. After they have shed and
fed 3 times they will be available for
shipping and the remaining balance must be
paid for within two weeks unless other
arrangements have been made.
I do not charge extra for lone females.
However, depending on sex ratios, lone
females may not be available and any female
will be required to be sold with a male. I
will do my best to accommodate your needs,
but cannot guarantee the availability of
lone females.
In general I don’t do trades. However, if you feel you have something that I may be interested in, don’t hesitate to ask me or make a proposal. Worst I can say is no. However, the only live animals I will consider are cornsnakes or ball pythons. I’m currently not working with any other species.
Local pick-up is always welcome. I am located in Denton, TX (about 40 min north of Dallas).
If there is a problem, I must be notified within 24 hours of recieving shipment. In the case of a DOA, pictures may be required to verify the animal in question. Do not throw out or bury the animal. Save it by placing it in your freezer until the situation can be ameliorated to yours and my satifsaction. If I do not hear from you within the first 24 hours, I will assume that everything is OK and that you are happy with your order.
