About Us

Phil and I met through the St Louis Herpetological Society.  I had always been very interested in Pituophis, and I got word that he worked with them.  We talked a while, and I went to see his collection one day.  I admired all of his animals, bought a Northern Pine like I've always wanted from him, and, to make a long story short, we now operate on a partner-like basis, each keeping certain animals.  We are not full time, commercial breeders; we just do it because we really love this  beautiful, often overlooked genus.  The following will describe the adults we have, what we will be producing, and anything we may have for sale currently.

                                                                   Thanks for your interest,
                                                                                                      Shaun
