About
I am a small breeder just starting up. I specialize in Western Hognose snakes and California Kingsnakes. All my reptiles are my family first!
Store Policy
Unless specified, all reptiles are produced by me with genetics guaranteed.
It is your responsibility to know your local and state laws. Many of my snakes are native to the United States and as such may require permits or licenses or may be illegal to own in your state or town. Please do your research!
Local pickup is available for the Western New York area on Sundays and Mondays.
Outside of WNY, all animals are shipped overnight Tuesdays and Wednesdays via Reptiles2You. Shipping for purchases over $500 is a flat rate $50 to anywhere in the contiguous 48 states. Live arrival guarantee is available for shipments held at a FedEx hub for pickup. Packages must be picked up within 3 hours of the hub opening and photographic evidence of the animal must be produced within one hour of signing for the package for the Live Arrival Guarantee to be honored. I will not ship if the temperatures are under 20F or over 90F at either end of shipping. Any temperature under 40F or over 80F I will not ship unless it is to a hub. Special consideration for higher or lower temperatures may be possible but must be shipped to a hub in a major city and the animal must be picked up immediately upon the arrival of the animal or the opening of the hub. This consideration may be revoked at any time if conditions change.
*Note: FedEx On-Site locations DO NOT hold live animals for pickup. When searching for a FedEx hub that can hold your animal for pickup, filter the locations to ones that can handle "dangerous goods" shipping.
***********CANADIAN EXPORT***************
I am now offering export of Western Hognose Snakes to Canada! Export is facilitated through Reptile Express International. Approximate quotes for export can be provided upon request. However, the final cost will be determined and billed directly by Reptile Express International. With this service comes export to Canada and either free pickup at the Reptile Express hub in Toronto or overnight shipping within Canada.
Payment plans are available for purchases over $500. There is a mandatory 20% non-refundable deposit for every payment plan. The remainder of the payment balance must be paid within 30 Days for purchases under $1000 and 60 days for purchases over $1000. If the animal(s) is not paid in full by the end of that period, all previous payments will be forfeit.
Sexing: All hognose snakes are sexed by tail shape and length until they reach an appropriate size for other sexing methods. I am more than willing to send additional pictures of the animal's tail for you to verify if you wish. As these snakes are very small, I do not believe probing or popping is entirely safe for the first few months. If you wish to wait for the animal to gain size where these methods are more feasible I am willing to take a deposit and put the animal on hold. When the animal reaches an acceptable size sex is confirmed via probing to the best of my ability.
Kingsnakes: All kingsnakes are sexed by popping and probing to the best of my ability.
