We are trying to push to 50 followers/likes! So you may be asking who the heck are we?

Rushing Reptiles LLC is a family-owned reptile business near St. Louis, MO built on passion, education, and doing things the right way.

We’re Chris and Kassie Rushing, a husband-and-wife team (and proud parents) who turned Chris’ lifelong love of reptiles and Kassie’s love of teaching & learning into something we could share with others.

Our journey started years ago, watching reptile videos together and learning everything we could. We were especially inspired by breeders like Brian Barczyk, whose passion for reptiles showed us how much education and ethical care really matter. What began as curiosity quickly turned into keeping, then learning, then breeding responsibly, and eventually building Rushing Reptiles.

Today, reptiles are part of our everyday family life. Our kids help us feed, clean, and learn about the animals right alongside us. For us, this isn’t just a business. It’s something we grow together as a family.
