Sterling Serpents Specializing in the highest quality captive bred reptiles!

Previously focused almost exclusively on Western Hognose morphs, we have expanded into breeding geckos from New Caledonia and Madagascar. With over 20 years of experience, we prioritize animal care and individual animal quality over all else.

Our first show of 2026 is coming up this weekend!

Among animals that will be coming along:
Leachies of all ages.
Some crested geckos.
POSSIBLY some bioactive setups.
Probably a few mourning geckos (not too many though)
Hognoses, and maybe the last few big adult ball pythons!

I'll start posting some pics of animals that will be coming along periodically throughout this week - and many will be going live on morph market following the show!

We have recently decided to add Magic the Gathering cards as a form of "currency" that we accept in exchange for/toward our animals!

Always happy to discuss details with anyone interested!

We have been slowly updating our website and morph market pages to include pictures and information of many of our breeders - this should make it a lot easier to track animal lineage.

I am not currently posting animals on morph market, but am planning on activating a bunch of listings as soon as the weather starts looking better for shipping!

My goal is to be able to have morph market profiles for the majority of the animals we produce - so that even animals that we part with locally will have profile for their new owners to keep as a record!

This is one of the big reasons we do what we do!

Found a rogue hatchling (leachianus) this morning that prompted me to tear the entire terrarium apart this afternoon in search of its sibling, and where exactly she was laying the eggs that I missed - Good thing I did!

Some updated pics of one of my favorite cresties that hatched in 2025!

Camera cannot even come close to capturing how dark this guy gets when fired up.

Just about ready for this weekend's show - just need to move the animals into their displays tomorrow morning!

We have been making big updates to our website recently - including care info for many of the species we keep.

These will all be listed in the "Educational Resources" section.

There is a lot of questionable information out there, so it feels a bit overdue to share some of our insights that come from 20+ years of working with many of these animals!

We will be expanding this section over time as we prep info from other species we have extensive experience working with - and eventually for other species we have kept in the past with updated information from other expert keepers.

Would love to hear any recommendations or requests for information or additional species to add.
