6 July 2010: Baby boas! Altariel gave birth to 24 boas (9 hypos and 15 normals). These little ones still need a few meals in them before we can let them leave our facility. Check our availability page for more details. It also looks like we won't be having Bredl's pythons this year, hopefully next year.

9 June 2010: We entered into a breeding partnership with Casper Constrictors based in Texas. Our boa constrictor collection has been relocated to their facility for the time being. Sadly, Celeborn (our 2005 Vin Russo possible super hypo boa) died during the transport to Texas. Thankfully he sired a litter before passing, Altariel is due to drop in July. I'm confident that a number of the offspring will exceed Celeborn in coloration so he will live on in his progeny! Minya, our female albino boa, slugged out this year again, we'll have to wait until next year for sunglows.

Unfortunately the Vana clutch did not make it, all the eggs died due to improper incubation technique. We're still expecting a nice clutch of Bredl's pythons to arrive the end of June.

25 March 2010: Our first clutch of carpet eggs for the season was laid from our Elrohir x Vana pairing! She gave us 21 eggs and zero slugs!

20 March 2010: We are excited about receiving our new Animal Plastics cages! Last week we hosted a cage building party to set up four T8s, four T11s and four T25s. You can check out some pictures here on one of our favorite snake forums, Redtailboa.net.

We are a small breeding facility located in Gainesville, Florida. Our diligence in maintaining data on our snakes is what places us above the majority of hobbiest breeders. We pride ourselves on keeping accurate records of any animal that crosses our doorstep. We maintain records of the following information on all of our snakes:

  • Feeding history
  • Shed cycle
  • Breeding Information
  • Genetics and Lineage

For the vast majority of our collection we know who produced it, when it was born (if not to the day, at least within a month), and its parental lineage. Being able to track the habits of our animals ensures that they remain healthy and happy in our home, and in our customers' homes.

Our efforts focus on producing quality boa constrictors and carpet pythons. For that reason we have selected our breeding stock from well established bloodlines and built our collection to consist of top notch animals. We wanted to start with the best to pass the quality on to our customers. We don't want to produce large quantities, just make snakes that speak for themselves. We work with only a handful of morphs, and those we have chosen, we seek to improve upon.
