I have been a reptile keeper and enthusiast since the age of 4 when I got my first North American Garter Snake as a pet..

That list consists of Venomous snakes , Crocodilians, Pythons, Boas, Colubrids, Chameleons , Monitor lizards, Skinks, Geckos, Tortoises, Turtles, Frogs ,Salamanders, and even Scorpions and Spiders.

Our facility and our affiliates were actively involved in science based studies of the Dwarf Burmese Python to determine its variances and similarities to normal Burmese pythons as well as with a Reptile Veterinarian in identifying and treating of reptile ailments
