Many of our returning customers, who we now regard as friends, have asked us repeatedly through the years to put a web page together. Well, here you go!

As we go along, we’ll have updates on new snakes for sale, some breeders for sale, shows where we’ll be exhibiting and selling, hints on husbandry (Nancy can give you hints about “husbands” too, if you ask nicely!), breeding tips and suggestions, genetics, and general info that we feel might interest you. It will be a simple web site….easy and quick for you to use. We welcome your ideas, input, corrections, stories and testimonials.

Some of you may have known us as Colubrid breeders as we began by breeding corns and kings. At the time, the whole family was involved. Our sons, Eric and Rudy, came to shows and helped convince Nancy that snakes weren’t all that bad. Then at a Tampa show many years ago, Chris and Sheila McQuaid traded 2 pretty pink pastel boas for our banana kings…..and we were hooked!

Eric took “his” boas off to college at UCF in ‘97 and 3 years later brought the boas back to us for bigger and better housing. After exhaustive reading and research, and lots of finger crossing, we had our first litter of boas. Our boa business had begun!

We’ve grown slowly and methodically, personally choosing new boa morphs to move into our ever-expanding snake house. We sell only those snakes that we have bred in-house.

Bill’s Bio:

After returning from Vietnam where he served as a First Lieutenant with the US Army, Bill graduated Cum Laude from USF.  His professional career was as a CPA with the City of Tampa Water Department.  After retiring in 2003, he was finally able to kick his passion with reptiles into high gear and develop his Boa business.

As a child, Bill was the quintessential Tom Sawyer, always barefoot with a fishing pole and capturing animals. His family moved from Long Island to St Petersburg, Fl when he was 5 years old. An entrepreneur from the very beginning, Bill raised rabbits, dressed them and supplied St Pete restaurants with fresh rabbits long before there was a Dept. of Health! He raised a fox pup, a wounded cardinal, and went snake hunting as often as he went fishing.

Once, at age 14, after diving into the water after a water snake, he came to the surface with the snake attached to his cheek and announced to his brother, “get the bag. I caught this one!” In his 30’s he was the owner/operator of the International Tropical Fish Hatchery specializing in angel fish. But his true passion has always been reptiles……
