About
Elevated Exotics is a family owned business dedicated to breeding a diverse collection of healthy, quality Ball Pythons. We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service, compassionate breeding practices, and providing a clean and healthy environment for our reptiles to thrive.
I have been keeping reptiles most of my life but began breeding ball pythons over 10 years ago. Unfortunately due to job requirements I had to move and was forced to sell my first ball python collection back in 2015. When I first started dating Julie in 2017, who is now my wife, she encouraged me to get back into my hobby. So I slowly started to build my ball python collection again. This time, learning from my first mistakes I purchased high end female hatchlings and raised them for years until they were ready to breed. My first couple seasons (2020/2021) were slow, as I only had one or two females producing for me. Most of the hatchlings I held on to and sold a couple locally in the Denver area. I love producing living art and my dream when I first began was to produce a world first. So naturally, I wanted to import straight from Africa but it was hard finding someone who I could trust. After talking to dozens of people in Africa I finally found a supplier I could trust and I imported a couple crates of ball pythons. This proved to be much more difficult than expected and took a lot of my time to get some of these imports to start eating again. Even though I was able to collect some amazing looking ball pythons I learned that I much rather focus on quality healthy captive breed ball pythons and not harvest out of wild from their natural habitat.
Another focus of our company was to try and have females breeding year around. We didn't want to produce all of our hatchlings around the same time each year. So I started to control temperatures and lightning for my sub-adults differently in hopes to increase my breeding season. Of course this was a huge experiment to find out what worked and what didn't work. But now that we have a larger breeding collection it looks like I've successfully increased our breeding season to be nearly year around. In 2022 our first clutch hatched in early March, our next couple clutches are expected to hatch late May and Mid-June. We'll have another couple of clutches expected to be laid and hatch early August. At this time we still have female slamming rats and getting consistent locks so we hope to have 1-3 clutches hatchling just about every month up to November or December. If our success continues we hope to add more clutches each moth of the year. Our goal in doing this was to be able to provide our customers with hatchlings year a round and make the best part of breeding (seeing hatchlings pip) every month. We also want to be able to handle all of our hatchlings on a regular basis so they are extremely friendly by the time you receive them. The best way we can successfully do this is to reduce the number of hatchlings we add each month.
As we have grown our hobby into a small but growing business our first plan was to become recognized in our own local community. Building the trust, respect, and friendship of our local peers. In the coming months our Morphmarket account will continue to grow and we look forward to building the same trust, respect, and long distance friendships across the country.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to talking with you, regardless if you choose to buy from us or another great breeder.
