"now we can keep this line going!"


Too many people in this hobby fail to see the importance in maintaining certain types of animals and bloodlines just as they were, and this goes for MANY types of snakes. This is just one very tiny example of it.

I have several special projects going on that will NEVER be altered in any way by anything else. This is what will make them truly rare and sought after.

There were some $75 dollar snakes that could be found up until the early 90's, and shortly afterwards they were all gone forever from ignorance of what they really were and people un-knowingly crossing them. Now, the only known 100% authentic bloodline from it's specific area of origin command $900-$1000 bucks for a hatchling pair.

This is why certain antiques and certain classic fairly common stuff can be so sought after and worth so much later on when they are left totally un-altered over time. I am just glad that there are a few people left that are very aware of this, and not out to change every single thing they constantly touch.


cheers, ~Doug
