About Dynasty Reptiles: Our Story
“It all started in my childhood. I was always captivated by animals, but reptiles, in particular, sparked my curiosity. I still remember the thrill of keeping Ringneck snakes and baby turtles I had caught.”
Introduction
At Dynasty Reptiles, we have a rich history in reptile breeding. Our primary focus is on Ball Python morphs, but over the years, we’ve also developed a variety of passion projects. We breed all of our reptiles in-house, producing a diverse range of species including Woma Pythons, various Kingsnakes, Carpet Pythons, Olive Pythons, Antaresia Pythons, multiple types of Boas, and even Crested Geckos.
Our Reptile Breeding History: How It Started
My fascination with animals, especially reptiles, began early in life. Growing up in an urban area with limited opportunities to collect reptiles, I finally convinced my parents to let me buy a snake when I was eleven. I chose a brown water snake, and as it grew, so did my collection. By thirteen, I had over ten snakes. However, like many teenagers, my interest waned during high school, and it wasn’t until after graduation that I returned to my passion for reptiles.
In 1997, I acquired a pair of Woma Pythons, not knowing they would ignite a lifelong journey into reptile breeding. They inspired me to pursue breeding seriously, leading to the establishment of Dynasty Reptiles. I soon added a pair of V. Flavirufus (Sand Monitors), a trio of Blue Tegus, and a small colony of Bearded Dragons to my collection.
The Turning Point: The First Breeding Year
I didn’t expect much from my first breeding year in 1998, but it turned out to be thrilling. I hatched several clutches of V. Flavirufus, Blue Tegus, and Bearded Dragons. The real surprise came when I produced Albino Blue Tegus from my trio—marking a first for me. Encouraged by this success, I decided to expand my breeding efforts and pursue reptile breeding full-time.
After two fruitful breeding years, I opened a reptile shop called MIA Reptiles. Shortly after its launch in 2001, I produced my first baby Woma Pythons. Watching them hatch fueled my ambition to grow my breeding colony. By 2002, I had built a substantial collection of Ball Pythons, Burmese Pythons, and various Boas. However, managing the store and my expanding collection became overwhelming.
Focusing on Breeding Snakes: Dynasty Reptiles' Rebirth
As my responsibilities increased, a change was necessary. I partnered with a friend to create ASF Reptiles, focusing on breeding snakes, particularly Ball Python morphs. The company expanded rapidly, prompting me to sell my shop to concentrate on ASF Reptiles and my other breeding initiatives.
A few years later, I bought out my partner, dissolved ASF Reptiles, and revived Dynasty Reptiles, the company I had founded years earlier. Over time, I was able to buy, sell, and breed more snakes annually. Today, I’ve transformed my business from ten snakes in my garage to thousands housed in multiple warehouses.
