My Pink Panther VPI Sunglow girls. They’re 66% Het Blood as well.
As cool as the VPI Blood stuff is, to my taste these girls are just about as good as it gets.

Lots of California Kingsnakes in the making.
The black and white pair are my locality project for my county. In Northern California our kings grow slower and stay smaller. I wasn’t sure that 2 year old male would be able to get it done but he figured it out. Required a little game of twister for him to reach her vent but he got it.
The second pair are Lavender Snows.
Pairs this season

Making some Hets. Mosaic is polygenic so hopefully that male has some potency to his phenotype and I get some decent mosaic patterns in the offspring. The male is a top notch mosaic so 🤞

Dreamsicle x Lavender Snow
One of the few Ball Python pairings I’ll make this year.

‘Brooklyn’ in bad lighting. A young Inland Reptile jungle I’ll take better shots of soon.

Finally made it home from Pomona. Had a blast this weekend spending time with my reptile friends and family. I have to say a huge highlight of the weekend and a complete fanboy experience for me was getting to meet and chop it up with Zac and Clint ( and ) from
I can’t say enough good things about the work these guys are doing. Colubrid and Colubroid Radio is absolutely top notch. If you’re not listening regularly, you’re missing out on some of the best science, market, and species/taxa deep dives in our discipline. They’re also doing actual conservation work in a meaningful fashion that’s going to benefit us for years to come.
I also have to apologize to the Kingsnake crowd, I meant to bring King Louie to the show so everyone could see him in person before he gets too old. If I vend the June show I’ll make sure to bring him out. He’s one of a small number of paradox California Kingsnakes that’s ever been recorded.
To my friends, it’s always a pleasure and I’ll see you guys at the next show. (roy you were too busy to hang out with😂 )

A few of the 30ish snakes I put into brumation. Only one hognose pairing for next season, but I’ll have 7-8 Cal King pairings, some MBKs, and perhaps I’ll pair some cornsnakes too.

I don’t really need this dude and he’s ready to breed if anyone feels like they have too much money in their bank account 😅
I would be looking for five crispy hundreds and shipping.
1.0 Vanishing Pattern Honduran Milksnake
No lineage on this dude so I’m making no promises he’s not a ‘Hobbyduran’. If no one picks him up, I’ll be forced to make dirty Imperial hybrids this year 😂

Some random shots from the last weekend. Had a blast last weekend, the Redding show is my home show and that makes everything about it more fun. Sandra goes out of her way to make it more fun too, with things like Saturday’s VIP night.
This will be my last show until Pomona in January. After that I have no real plans to do any California expos next year. The market needs to recover and a lot of promoters have added too many expos in already saturated areas on the west coast (it’s happening everywhere honestly).
After Pomona I will have some wholesale lots of ball pythons and morph California kingsnakes available.

Lotsa baby Gophers last night with and
Probably the craziest thing last night was also quite sad. Three emerging hatchling gophers all run over together.

I have begun the tedious process of listing baby California Kingsnakes on MM. I was only pooped on about a dozen times photographing these 3 🤷‍♂️
Cal kings get a bad reputation but they grow out of this behavior. As for the finger biting food response stuff, the main thing to reduce that is to open the enclosure more often to handle, than you do to feed. 2-3 handling sessions a week to one feeding session will make them a little less crazy. Owning a lny of the larger Lampropeltis sp. means you’re going to get nibbled on at some point. Before I bred them though, all of my kings raised as pets were pretty chill and it was pretty usual to get bitten after the initial food response.

Shasta Wildlife called me to pick this ball python up this morning in Anderson California. If you or anyone you know is missing an albino ball python please contact me.

Last California Kingsnake clutch of the season is out. I was smart and didn’t try to double clutch any of them thankfully.

It’s safe to say, I have way more beaded lizards than you think I do 🤣
Pictured are some of my baby Heloderma exasperatum and the last couple are Heloderma horridum. All produced by Horridum Angeli.

We had a blast as usual at the Puyallup reptile show. Thanks to all of our friends for stopping by and hanging out, and to everyone who bought animals from us. As you can tell by this single illustrious picture of hanging out with Big Boy, I suck at capturing all the fun that goes on at reptile shows 😂

07/12/2024

Some crap pictures of some of what’s been going on the last couple weeks. I’ve had 21 California Kingsnakes hatch, 18 Red Spotted Garters born, and absolutely killed it herping. Work on the other hand has been kicking me in the pants for the last two weeks to make up for it 😂😂
Tomorrow we’re headed to Puyallup for you can find me at the table.
