We are a family operated tortoise farm located in northeast Alabama. In addition to our tortoises, we also raise Kenyan sand boas.

We are passionate about our shelled friends, and specialize in raising several different species.

It's been awhile and a lot has changed ... But we are happy to let y'all know that we *finally* have some adorable baby Sulcatas 🐢!

Sulcatas (or African Spur-Thighed tortoises) are the third largest species of tortoise in the world, and can grow to reach weights of 80-150+lbs! They are a desert species and thrive with warmth and a relatively good dose of humidity. Our Sulcatas eat a main diet of grass (including clover and plantain) - they can also eat turnip and mustard greens, many species of cactus, and occasional treats such as sweet potatoes, squash, and pumpkins.

If you'd be interested in learning more about Sulcatas (or how to add one of these cute dudes to your family), just send us a quick message.

Local friends - come out and see us tomorrow morning at Collinsville Trade Day! We will be bringing our micro squirrels and tortoises, as well as some sand boas and a few other surprises. The temps are perfect this weekend - would love to see y'all there 😎

So excited for these new additions and the start of our own splash projects! Special thanks to Treacher's Creatures for this neat anery splash dude, along with his albino and snow Het splash ((future)) girlfriends 😅.

For those of you who don't know, Kenyan sand boas are awesome snakes, and super simple to keep and maintain! They are one of the smallest species of boa and tend to be very docile. If you're interested in getting one, send us a PM! We currently have several normal babies available, as well as some older morphs.

APD commonly referred to as "Micro Squirrels." They are so stinking cute! They eat seeds, fruits, nuts, and bugs. Typically housed in glass exoterra type enclosures and live in colonies. Who knew?

Unique opportunity, I have a friend who needs to find a new home for an adult sulcata male around 100lbs. Not free or cheap. PM us.

These little beauties are available! We recently bought a fellow keepers entire sand boa breeding collection. In order to make room for all the newbies, we have decided to let some of our younger guys find new 🏡.

These are Kenyan sand boas - a super docile snake that's also very low maintenance and easy to keep. Perfect for a beginner. Max size on these dudes is about 25" long - males tend to stay around 15", making these snakes some of the smallest boas in the world! They also give live birth, which is pretty cool 😎. If you're interested in learning more about a specific one, just send us a PM.

Favorite girl in the breeding program ((for now 😏)). Meet Libby, our super gorgeous paradox albino stripe Kenyan sand boa. She's big and beautiful - can't wait to see the babies this girl will make for us 😍

Many of you may not know that my wife Bethaney began her very first reptile breeding venture a few years ago. She has gone from being terrified of snakes to Essentially becoming the "crazy cat lady" of the sand boa world. This week we were blessed by the Lord to add a beautiful collection to our stash of scaly friends. These are the only snakes we intend to ever have. With that being said we would like to thank Full Throttle Reptiles for their generosity on multiple occasions now. I would like my followers to visit and like her page. Buy snakes from her. Her facility is beyond clean. She's been so nice to us. Unfortunately it isn't common these days. We often choose to drive past certain businesses in order to do business with people that treat others the best, its a matter of principle. We also prefer to do business with Christians if at all possible. Why drive to Hixson TN?

Make plans to attend the Show Me Reptiles & Exotics expo in Gadsden, AL this Saturday! We will be there with a variety of tortoises ((ranging from hatchlings to well started sub adults)), as well as Veiled Chameleons, Tokay Geckos, Kenyan Sand Boas, and more. This is always a fun show with lots to check out - can't wait to see you there!

Look who's hatching 👀💚

Seeing these adorably tiny babies, it's hard to imagine that they are the third largest species of tortoise in the world! Sulcatas can reach a length upwards of 30" and weigh between 100-200lbs when full grown 🐢
