I love these types of clutches of Retics, where you have ten+ different morph combos in one clutch. So much variation. So pretty.

All over 50% Superdwarf.

Still have some baby beaded lizards hanging around. Looking for local homes only, currently, although I may open up shipping at the end of August. Great pricing for local sales.

Please do your research prior to contacting me. These are venomous, however generally have a very laid back personality. These babies are great, and can already be handled with relative ease. These are one of my favorite pet reptiles to keep.

Nice clutch of red ackies ready to go. Sitting under their metal halide light so the colors are a little washed. Really nice babies.

Getting ready to post the first few clutches of Retics for this year. Everything is 50%+ Super Dwarf blood and will be priced in the three figure range.

At HDH we love Retics! We also understand the immense size these animals obtain and don't feel they are particularly well suited for the majority of keepers, particularly mainlands. We strive to produce a more well suited animal for the majority of keepers, at a reasonable price point. Mainlands shouldn't be the only available Retics to the pet buying public not willing/able to drop four figures on a snake!

All that being said, please understand these are NOT small snakes and still are not suitable for the majority of keepers. Do Your research!

Caught one of my emerald grass lizards laying eggs this morning. Thought it was cool.

Pics of the other female and the male just for the heck of it.

I've got (2) one year old pure Mozambique white throat monitor males looking for new homes.

These were produced by my good friend Robert Balan at Farmhouse Reptiles. I raised up a nice group of 5 and kept back a single pair.

Good temperaments as you can see. Awesome animals.

DM only. I generally don't respond or even view comments left on my posts.
