As far back as I can remember, I`ve had a
fascination with reptiles and amphibians. As a kid I
was forever exploring the local ponds looking for
frogs and turtles, or lifting old boards hoping to find
a hidden garter snake. It seems as though I`ve always
had a few cold-blooded friends around. As I got older
my herpetological interests narrowed to the point
where I only kept snakes. At first I had a handful of
snakes just for pets but all that changed when I went
to my first reptile show. I was amazed to see all these
animals in person, all the snakes I`d only read about
had suddenly been brought to life. At that point I was
hooked. My collection started growing by leaps and
bounds, I asked lots of questions and read every snake
article I could find.
I started breeding snakes
in the early 90`s, I`ve worked with and bred various
boas, pythons, anacondas, and colubrids. In the late 90`s
I started getting interested in ball pythons. My first
ball python purchase was an albino male and two 100%
het females from Brian Barczyk. Slowly I started buying
more balls and one by one I began selling my other
species. I`ve now went full circle with this process to
the point where my collection is now ball pythons and
a small group of colubrids. I really enjoy working with
the balls, they combine small size, docile
dispositions, and a virtually infinite amount of
genetic possibilities. It`s all the new morphs that
keeps me motivated. I see no end in sight for the
exciting and ever changing world of ball python
reproduction. I hope you find the website both
informative and enjoyable.
Best wishes,
Mark
