Vida Preciosa International, Inc., better known as VPI, is owned and operated by Dave and Tracy Barker. VPI is an incorporated commercial enterprise primarily involved in the captive propagation of snakes. If you're curious, vida preciosa is Spanish and translates to "precious life." It's a long story exactly how and why this name was chosen, but it accurately reflects the inspiration and motives that led to the creation of VPI, and it does give some of the flavor of the area where the business is located.
