Bull Snakes and Pine Snakes



These giants are truly the most impressive of North America's constrictors.
Up to 8 feet in length and the muscularity and size of a good size Boa Constrictor.
Truly impressive animals. In recent years, several amazingly attractive morphs of these
massive animals have surfaced. The colors rival anything available in any species.

Bull Snakes



Most of these are het for something or other and are byproducts of other breedings.
All are healthy and heavy bodied animals.


These guys were originally marketed as "Monster Bulls", due to the fact that some of the adults that were collected
were pushing 10 feet in length. This does not seem to be anything genetic based on the F1 and F2 babies though,
so we will just say that they are a nice looking locality Bull.


These are interesting. The grandparents of these beauties were wild collected from the northernmost edge
of the Bullsnake's range near Madison Wisconsin. I am not aware of locality animals from any further North.
An interesting addition to any purists' collection.


While not quite as bright a red as the Kingsville Reds,
these animals have a subtle beauty that definitely makes them popular in anyone's Pit collection.


My breeders came directly from John Ginter and are exceptional bright red animals.


My breeders for these guys also come straight from John Ginter. Golden ground color with a high contrast pattern.
The pic says it all.


These are the original strain of hypo introduced by Craig Trumbrower. A golden Carmel in color with a subtle pattern.
One of my favorite Pits.


Screaming orange and bright yellow. These glow like they are plugged in. They don't get any prettier.


The only way to make an Amel bull glow brighter is to mix in hypomelanism.
This brightens and cleans up an already fluorescent animal.


Pine Snakes



Again, I acquired the best of the best breeders from John Ginter. The nice ones develop into jet black giants.
Awesome looking animals.


One of the lines I am most proud of. All of my breeders are descended from true Jersey Pine stock.
This results in high contrast black and white animals like the one pictured.


This is my first year breeding these guys and I am excited.
This pair has developed into two of the highest yellow animals of this species I have ever seen.
If you have an interest, inquire early.


This morph is very new and was introduce to the hobby by John Ginter.
For the last several years, I have purchased pretty much John's entire production and have had the honor
of being able to sell his exceptional animals along side my own. This line descends from wild caught animals
from the Los Hombres region. I have a very few of these available each year and they go fast so inquire early.
I will be putting together a separate page for this morph with multiple pictures in the near future.


Another animal that is seldom seen in collections but is growing rapidly in popularity.
The babies are a nondescript brown in color but, as they mature, the color comes out with every shed.
Orange, yellow, red, and black...you never really know what a Jani is going to look like till it gets there.
