Super excited to be getting a pair of Heterodon Platirhinos (eastern hognose) in soon. These are orange phase (with some yellow possibly showing as well) coming from Kevin Fisher: Hognoses, Etc. Platis add color as they grow and these two will be gorgeous!

The girls behind our logo. Salsa is a beautiful red, superconda (100% het albino) plains/western hognose, and Lily is a stunning lilly white crested gecko. We chose a plains hognose and a crested gecko as these are the two species that began our breeding projects and gave life to Eric Hall and Eric Bitler joining together to build what we hope is an amazing business adventure. We chose the hornets nest as it represents Charlotte, NC, the community we live in and have both served for over a decade in EMS. We love the happy coincidence that the hornet’s nest takes the shape of a heart which is also a nod to our careers as paramedics. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of exotic pets without ever sacrificing on care or quality of life for these animals we truly love. We couldn’t be more excited for the future!

Big things coming soon. We’ve partnered up with good friends to form an llc and start working towards some lofty goals. In the very near future you will see a name change on the page to represent the new venture. We will begin doing business as Hornet’s Nest Reptiles and Exotics. Logo’s and branding are in the works and we can’t wait to share them when available. In the meantime here’s our yet to be named 2021 Drymarchon melanurus , or more commonly a Black-tailed cribo.

Very excited to add some some pituophis melanoleucos lodingi (black pine snake) to the family. The guys are this yr CBB hatchlings and growing quickly already.

Black pine snakes in the wild are in significant decline in large part to habitat fragmentation and other human factors. Several states have added them to their protected species lists. They are currently found in small parts of southern MS and AL.

Since my wife has decided to start decorating for fall already I guess its fair game to show off this lovely halloween girl while she was out and about for enclosure cleaning.

Got some week old bleebs starting to show out already. Excited for some more pairings to start hatching!

Norbert has really grown on me the last few months, it still say as*hole on his tub instead of his name, he still sneaks a bite when it pleases him, but he is one of the funkiest lavenders and a proven breeder.

Lilly looking good in the sunshine! About ready to be paired up and her new man is a looker!

Yoda wants to wish everyone a Happy Easter as he finally gets to enjoy a little sunshine today.
