Intro Overdue

I've already been lurking on here for some time, even arranged a purchase or two, so might as well actually say hi.

Though some will call me a youngster only being in my 20's, I can claim nearly 20 years of experience dealing with reptiles under my belt, including several years of breeding in those (so far only successfully with corn snakes, expansion to other species has been far more recent). Hopefully there will in the next couple years actually be some animal sales posts up on here from me...but for now my primary sales are mantids and carnivorous plants. If anyone has an interest in those too, you can see more at www.carltoncarnivores.com (plus I'm always looking for photos and info to put into the database for people to learn about the creatures they're caring for, or want to someday).
Though I propagate and breed things for sale, it's primarily just to gain funds to promote the real goal of the business I'm building: cultivating interest and appreciation through education and exposure, and eventually pushing that to promoting conservation. Many of the plants I work with are endangered in the wild, and hopefully one day I'll be able to include reptiles in captive breeding programs for genuine conservation aims.

For a quick glimpse into the animal side of my collection, the biggest snake I currently call mine, among many others:
