We care for these animals because we love them. They are God's creatures not ours. We get to care for them, help them reproduce, and give others the opportunity to enjoy them as well.  All of our animals, including the ones we part with, are an extension of our passion for wildlife.

1) Animal welfare comes first, second, and third

2) We provide direct consultation support for the lifetime of our animals. We also provide additional free educational resources for the community at large <click here>

3) We guarantee our animals' health for 180 days past the time of transfer (Health Guarantee Details)

4) We sell captive bred animals only. We do not sell wild caught animals of any kind whatsoever

 

5) We highly value animal welfare, therefore we will never knowingly deal with wildlife traders that during operations commit inhumane treatment of animals

 

6) We also highly value wildlife conservation and therefore, we will never knowingly contribute to the exploitation of wild populations nor support operations that harvest wild caught "at risk" species (ie. IUCN Red List NT, VU, EN, CR  etc.)

 

7) With regard to imported wildlife, we will only work with animals that were legally imported and have valid documentation from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

8) We support species integrity and therefore do not support hybridization of any species and will not knowingly transfer to or buy from anyone who has intentionally  bred hybrids or supports such behavior

​

9) We support animal care stability and therefore do not support "flipping" animals (when someone buys low and sells high to make money). We will not knowingly transfer to or buy from "animal flippers"

​

10) We reserve the right to refuse transfer for any animal welfare or legally based reason 

​

11) We only work with quality genetic breeding stock and seek every opportunity to reduce or eliminate inbreeding. We aim to maximize genetic diversity within the species and subspecies we manage

​

12) We work with uncommon and difficult to obtain species. we refuse to breed species that are overrepresented in captive populations

​

13) Many living creatures carry Salmonella including reptiles (Blue Tongue Skinks). Wash your hands after handling your reptile(s) and ensure young children do the same.
