I’m a long time collector turned breeder. I’ve kept snakes and other reptiles growing up as a child and have kept them for over 20 years. I’ve always dreamed of having some of the animals I have and produce today. They were just so expensive that I never thought it’d be possible but now I’m just living my dreams up. I started getting really serious several years ago and enjoy every aspect of breeding. I only select the highest quality animals for my collection to produce even better animals for years to come. I select pairings to accentuate the characteristics of the genetic traits present in the animals. I don’t like to take away from the beauty the traits. I love the darker genetics and think that they’re unappreciated. So I hope to help change peoples minds. I think the reptile hobby is an ever evolving hobby where our taste and interests are changing frequently. So as a keeper I’m evolving with the industry as new things catch my interests or are discovered.

I try to keep a small operation with higher quality animals or what I would consider a more efficient operation. I do still have a day job and probably will as a journeyman electrician for the IBEW LU 124. I love what I do with and without reptiles but hope to go full time with the reptiles sooner than later. You can find me at all the NARBC’s, the Reptile Super Show, and Daytona’s NARBE.

My collection consists of a variety of genetics but mainly recessive genetics. Currently working on making and raising triple recessive animals. I think the market is in a mostly recessive trait trend. Where we’re trying to stack the recessive traits and produce animals with as many recessive traits as possible. The genetics I work with consist of: VPI & TSK Axanthic, Clown, Piebald, Hypo, Black Axanthic, and Desert Ghost. The dominant and codom/incomplete dominant genetics I have in my colection consist of: Acid, Hurricane, Black Pastel, Leopard, Black Head, Spider, Orange Dream, Enchi, Chocolate, Yellowbelly, and Jungle Woma. I hope to add Puzzle, Stranger, and cryptic to my collection and I’d be open to offer from people for trade on animals.

This is an amazing community of people and I’ve been fortunate to live my dreams while finding friends with in the community that feel like family. Vending shows never gets old or seems like a job when you’re doing with your family. We’ve got lots of shows planned for the rest of the years and I look forward to meeting and talking with more people. So don’t hesitate to come by and say hi! For anyone that can’t make it to the shows. Check me out on Facebook(Kendall Thorn hill) or Instagram(KendallThornhill). Some how after years of doing everything through my personal accounts they’ve become business as well.
