Happy Halloween from Ember! She is undoubtedly my spookiest, most orange-and-black-themed snake.

Pancake has given me the last clutch of the year! Six eggs from this first-time mom paired to Hades, my cinnamon double het monsoon pied male. I’m thrilled because this means she can finally start coming to educational programs with me again.

Fall/winter means more indoor pictures with terrible lighting, but the trinket snakes are still gorgeous anyway! This is Skye, and hopefully he’ll be producing some hatchlings this coming spring!

This one from Noah and Meredith Bounds is coming along really nicely! It finally started taking crickets & dubias so it’s growing like a w**d now. Can’t wait to see how that color keeps coming in.

It’s been a while since I posted this handsome fellow. He’s doing excellent and is still by far my calmest snake. Great eater, so gentle, so curious. 💜 Marshmallow, my B.c. longicauda.

Just a quick reminder: Inspiration Exotics is ANTI-AI. Our entire business model is based on ethics, and this applies to AI too.

If you’re a show promoter who uses AI flyers to advertise your shows, we will not vend with you. If you’re a reptile breeder or educator who designs flyers or your logo using AI, we will not buy from or promote you in any way. If you’re an individual using AI to look up care standards, we will not sell to you.

Human beings are the backbone of every community. Human artists and scientists deserve to be paid and recognized for the work that AI platforms have stolen from them. And if you’re willing to use AI to cut corners in marketing, I have no way to know what else you cut corners on. General care? Quarantine?

It’s not a risk we’ll take. We are openly and proudly anti-AI. Keep this in mind when trying to contact us or work with us.

Unfortunately, this season, nature did not have my back. 😭 I had four gecko pairs this year: 2 crestie pairs, one Eury pair, and one sarasinorum pair. They all laid eggs but only two out of around 26 eggs ended up being fertile and those two are still incubating. 😭 Not sure what didn’t go right this year, but hey, there’s always next year. And next year will be my first year pairing chahouas too!

Hi y’all! I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the person behind the account, since I have some new folks. My name is Kayla! I’m a public librarian, and as you all know, also an ethical reptile breeder and educator in my spare time! I am super passionate about information transparency both in my job and in the reptile hobby, which is why I am super open and honest about the breeding process, why I do it, what I disagree with, and how I am constantly trying to improve. Sometimes you might see me disagreeing with common breeding/keeping practices. I think critical discussion is extremely important to make sure we’re always doing right by our animals. You can ask me about my animals, genetics I do and don’t work with, enclosures, etc. at any time.

I also love photography, horses and horseback riding, creative writing, reading, and I love learning and helping other people learn. Pictures are from my recent horsey trip to New Mexico. I’m in the Indianapolis, IN local area. Thank you all for following!

Thank you so much to the Owen County Public Library for having me out for a reptile education program! I LOVE introducing folks to reptiles (snakes especially), busting some myths, and letting people interact with these amazing creatures!

This handsome guy is growing so well!! My jani pine snake from Morgan Carpenter. I got him for the purposes of educational programs and he is one of the calmest, gentlest snakes I own - he’s going to do great.
