This is Rose. She is a normal ball python. I got her in 2015, and she was my first reptile! She was meant to be a christmas present for my sister, but I was the one who always took care of her. So, when my sister moved out, she officially became mine. She is so sweet and doesn't care about anything. She has helped many people overcome their fear of snakes. She is a typical ball python with eating though. She will go through fases of eating like crazy then not for months at a time. One cool story about her, is when she was about 4 years old or so, she escaped her enclosure and was able to get outside through a hole in the wall that lead under the house. Then about 6 months later, when the weather started to get colder, she came back! My mom's boyfriend at the time found her slithering across the yard and up to the back door! I love her and I will keep her until she passes of old age, which shouldn't be for many years!

I have had many reptiles after Rose and before I got my current ones. I can post about them in the future if anyone is interested. I keep pictures of all my babies, even if I don't have them anymore. All of them have been rehomed over the years of various reasons. (Life got too busy, I wasn't equiped to care for them (rescue cases), or they weren't thriving in my care for one reason or another) I will not keep an animal if I can not provide better than the required care they need for any reason.

The next lovely I have is Slinky! He is a lavender albino California Kingsnake. I got him in 2020. He is very energetic and loves his food! I got him as a baby, but he is now over 4 feet long.

This is Maple. She is a patternless red Gargoyle Gecko. I got her in 2022. She was my first gargoyle. (not my first gecko though) She is very mean and will bite you if you try to touch her or her eggs. She is my breeding female and produces very cute little babies. I did not know her morph when I got her, as gargoyles are more complex in their morphs than cresteds. Something cool about her is I got her for $80, but when I did research to find her morph, I discovered she is worth over $3k!

This is Mable. She is a white base mosaic Gargoyle Gecko. I got her in 2022 as well. She is extremely sweet and loves to hide in her coconut.
.
.
This is Mocha. He is a brown stripe Gargoyle Gecko, and the mate to Maple. I got him a few months after I got Mable in 2022. He is very sweet, but very skiddish. He also loves to hang upside down from the top of the enclosure and bug Maple!

This little cutie is Peaches! She is a flame Crested Gecko. I got her in 2023. She is a little sweetie pie and loves her crickets! This picture is when she was a baby, but she is now full size. Sadle she has also lost her tail, but she had a half tail when I got her due to a bad shed.
.

My next baby is Melon! He is an orange stripe Gargoyle Gecko. I got him in 2023 as a female, but he is deffinitly not a female! It is a bit hard to gender hatchling geckos though, so I am not blaming anyone. He is meant to be a mate for Mable, but he is only about half grown. He is not a very good eater, so he is growing very slow. I still love him though! He is a very shy gecko. He will let you hold him, but he gets scared easily.

This beautiful boy is Pluto. He is an extreme harleyquin dalmation Crested Gecko, and I got him in 2023. He is a very sweet boy. He is Peaches mate, but they have just reached a healthy breeding size, so they just met last week! Lets hope we get some pretty babies when breeding season starts again next year!
.

This is Sweetheart. She is a normal banded California Kingsnake. I got her in 2023, ans she is a little baby. She will be bred with Slinky once she is big enough in a few years. She is very sweet and is always begging for food.
.
.
This little sweet girl is Bubbles. She is a baby Whites Tree Frog. I got her earlier this year (2024). She is my very first amphibian and he is very sweet! I hope to get her some friends in the future.
.

Next is my baby Poppy. She is a pastel het pied Ball Python. I got her not to long ago and she is a very little baby. She is only about months old. She is very sweet, but luckily she is not like other ball pythons in that she loves to eat! She knows feeding day is every friday and she is ready!
.
.
And my most recent (but deffinitly not last!) baby, is Pepper! She is a yellow based dalmation Crested Gecko. I just got her a few days ago. She is about half grown. She will be joining Peaches and Pluto when she becomes breeding size to breed with Pluto as well. I don't know her full personality yet, as I have been letting her settle in, but she seems to be very sweet with a little sass!

Thank you for reading about all my little babies! I love them all so much and try to give them the best lives possible! Yes I am a reptile breeder, so I do have quite a few breeding pairs, but I do not breed for money. I do it out of love of reptiles, so please do not hate on me. I makes sure all of my babies haver large enclosures with tons of enrichment, not in small breeding set ups. Most of my enclosures are bioactive. I also make sure they are all healthy and getting everything they need to thrive. As stated before, I do not keep any animal if I can not give them the best life.
If you have any questions or would like to talk about reptiles or any of my babies, feel free to post here or pm me! I can also include pictures of some of the babies I have produced if anyone is interested. Have a lovely day! :)
