Really impressive collection. That rock python seems pissed about something....

No, he is pissed about everything. Meanest snake I have ever owned. At feeding time he grabs the rat from me and then throws it aside so he can still try and bite me. He will eat the rat later. He is the star of the show we perform, because he never lets us down. I can always count on him to try and bite me and he will break a balloon every time. I use him to let the kids know that every snake is not a nice calm snake and that is why they should not be picking up snakes in the wild. I realized that in my shows I was only showing snakes in a positive light and that was not reality. Being an educator I need to show snakes as they really are, and that means showing some snakes that are nasty as well as showing the calm and nice snakes.
Rock is a favorite of the photographers, because he never has his mouth shut and he likes to show off his pearly whites. LOL

The Blood and the Carpet Pythons were rescues. I'm glad t say they were adopted out to good homes. That's one of the perks of running a rescue and adoption, is that I get to keep different snakes for a while until they find a better place to live.

Thank you. We try to keep our shows as interesting as possible. We do a lot of the same outdoor event year after year and we have a lot of the same people checking us out. Many comment on the diversity of the snakes and how each year we seem to have many different snakes than from the year before. With such a diversity of snakes, we always seem to have something that catches every ones eye and helps them to appreciate the beauty of these animals.

You can check our event calendar on our website to see where we will be. We do a lot of private events such as Boy Scouts and some birthday parties. book stores, libraries, sport men events, schools, DARE events, Harvest festivals and many other events. We also have private facility shows for individuals who don't want to be in a crowd. We perform also on cable programs from time to time. We however do not perform in NYC.

This time of year we do not perform many shows, (Dec. & Jan.)

Awesome collection. I think you have more snakes than alot of reptile zoo's I've been to.
That has got to be a full time job I would think, just maintaining cages, food, water and habitat conditions. Do you mind me asking how much it costs you a month to maintain a collection of that size?

I buy the mice and rat frozen from expos really cheap. I get many donations from friends of extra mice that they breed. I use mostly newspaper for bedding, which is free. Heating is done with 2 electric heater in a snake room. I would estimate I spend around $200 a month for everything. The shows we do pay the expenses of keeping the snakes. I do it because it is my passion and not to make money.

Amazing collection! I kind of want a rattlesnake now, but I don't want to die lol. I always thought they looked cool.

Well I have to hand it to you. I'm pretty sure between my two snakes and my GF's chameleon, Iguana, Agama, and Gecko we are putting more than 200 buck into their heat, hab, and food per month. But the best part is you are doing something very interesting and paying the bills. Hats off.

There is nothing like being right there as a cobra is flared and hissing at you.
