Hey, my name is Gary. My wife and I are local rat and mouse breeders who currently have 14 snakes including Dums, Macklots, Brazilians and Irian Jaya Carpets. Looking to meet new people and share information with.

Hello and welcome to our zoo. Now we need picks of your zoo.

Hey Gary, you're not too far from me. Do you breed to feed or for pets? I'm looking for a supplier since petco is a friggin rip off.

Hi and welcome!!!

Hey Gary, you're not too far from me. Do you breed to feed or for pets? I'm looking for a supplier since petco is a friggin rip off.

We breed both rats and mice mostly for feeders but they are tame enough to go as pets, which we have sold some in the past for pets and the price is the same either way.

[millertime89]

So you don't really make a habit of it then?

[exwizard]

I'm not sure what you mean. If people want pets, we will sell them as pets. They are tame enough for that. If they want feeders, we will do that as well. It makes no difference to us what they will be used for. The price is the same. :)

hello and welcome

some pictures of your irian's would be most appreciated mate

cheers shaun

[bigsnakegirl785]

I know! Petco is selling small rats for $9 where I live! That's why I've started breeding my own.

[millertime89]

PM sent man, tired of paying petco prices. 1.09 for a friggin hopper mouse!

[exwizard]

Looking forward to doing business with you and I'm only happy to provide that alternative to high pet store prices. :)

[Nismo89]

Weolcome! I would love to see pics of your BRBs. I guess I'm lucky my local pet store also breeds their own mice and rats lol I get hoppers for around 70 cents I can't complain with that. $9 a rat is ridiculous!

[exwizard]

As soon as I can get my album together, I will post pics of all my snakes and thank you for the welcome.

I am working on pics and as soon as I can I will have them for not only the Carpets but also the other snakes as well. :)

All these snakes are pets and I enjoy them every day. They are also well fed because we have plenty of rats and mice as well. :)

Hey Tony, do I recognize you from MCR? :)

I know Tony but no I am not him :)

Ok I think I have this figured out so I'll try with Mick and Sheila first.

Mick is the one with more cream whos sire was a platinum morph. Sheila is the high gold whose line originated from the eastern half of the island.

Ramón is the little one hanging on the trellis. Rita is the bigger one chillin' on the driftwood log.

Welcome to the forum, we would love to see pics of your collection.

First will be most of the Dums. In succession are Popeye and Black Betty who are both '02 breeders, Gandalf the Grey, an '08, and Arwen, an '07, both we picked up in Kansas City a couple of months back.

[exwizard]

Hello and welcome to our zoo. Now we need picks of your zoo.

Next are the other 2 Dums, Kermit and Miss Piggy who are our first acquisition from the spring Des Moines reptile show last year.

[exwizard]

Next are the Macklot's. Merlin and Vanessa are '09s and are sizing up nicely and tame as can be. Lancelot and Guinevere hatched in Oct '10 and are also as dog tame as can be, even as the babies they are. I also love the irridescence on these guys, almost like Rainbow Boas. :)

[millertime89]

I love Lancelot and Guinevere. They look awesome, how big are they? Hard to believe Merlin and Lancelot are the same species, such a size difference!

[exwizard]

They are about a couple of feet long now. The pics were taken in June so they have have sized up some since then.

[marvelfreak]

Wow beautiful collection. You have some amazing snakes.
I have to say i am kind of jealous.

[exwizard]

Thank you very much. :)

[alessia55]

All your snakes are beautiful! Congrats!
What kind of a snake is Lancelot??

[exwizard]

Thank you. He is a macklot's python.
