    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi everyone! My name is Jenn, and I'm a new member of Fauna living in Northern Colorado. Ault to be exact, but it's a small town and I have found that most people don't know where it is. I have kept a wide range of reptiles for about 20 years, and then decided to do something WAY different and got into Hedgehogs about 3 years ago. I currently breed Hedgehogs, and have an occasional clutch of Reticulated Python and Ball Python eggs.
As far as reptiles go, my husband and I primarily keep snakes (Reticulated Pythons, Ball Pythons, Carpet Pythons a Burmese Python, and a Kenyan Sand Boa), but also have lizards (Asian Water Monitors, Leopard Geckos, a Bearded Dragon, and an Ornate Uromastyx), Sulcata Tortoises, and a Dwarf Caiman.

For mammals we have the Hedgehogs, 3 dogs, and 3 cats!

Happy to be here, and look forward to meeting some new people!
 
Glad to have you here Jennifer. Enjoy exploring and we look forward to your contributions!
 
Hi and welcome Jennifer.

Do you expect any Uromastyx ornata for sale anytime soon? Also, do you have an excess male Uromastyx ornata?

As a side note, I love Paleosuchus palpebrosus.

Thank you! I unfortunately only have one male, so I have never bred them. He was given to me about a year ago. Sorry!

No worries at all. I hope you enjoy him. I would love to get a Hedgehog from you, but, I am sure shipping makes it too expensive. Do you happen to know a breeder of Glaucomys volans or any similar species? I am also looking for Spiny Mice of any species.

Thanks!

I am always willing to ship Hedgehogs, but from the research I've done, shipping costs about $150. All of my sales have been local, so never had a need to look too far into it, but if you're interested I'd be more than happy to look into it more :)
And no, I unfortunately don't know any breeders for those guys, but they sure are cute!

Ahh I see. What colours/patterns do you breed? Prices for each colour/pattern?

Please look at above questions before you do that. But, if, it is not too difficult maybe you should anyway. If you don't mind, I am VERY curious!

I agree, plus, they are much easier and hardier then the very popular Petaurus breviceps . Do you know any small mammalian breeders?

Thanks so much!

I don't, aside from the Hedgehogs, I'm primarily a reptile person, sorry.
All of my hedgehogs are $200, I don't price according to markings. I primarily focus on temperaments, I spend a lot of time socializing the babies so they'll be good pets (I cannot guarantee temperaments due to the fact that they can change as they get older and it greatly depends on how much time the new owner chooses continue socialization and interact with them), but in the 3 years that I've been breeding I have produced Grey's, Dark Grey's, Chocolates, Cinnamons, and Albinos. I mainly have Pintos, and some markings I've produced are Split Faces, Badger Stripes, Blazes, and Eyeliner.
And I produced my first Odd-Eyed (heterochromia) girl last year.
Sorry for the delayed message, it was a very busy day! If you're interested in me looking into shipping, let me know. I do have 2 females and 1 male left from my last litter, or I do have a waiting list I'd be happy to add you to as well.

Don't be sorry, I am too.

Wow, that is pretty cool.

That is so so awesome. I understand you can't guarantee temperament, but, I still think what you are doing is awesome.

I would be interested in Split Face, Badger Stripes, Blazes, and Eyeliner.

Please don't be sorry, I just appreciate the response.

If you're interested in me looking into shipping, let me know.
If you don't mind, please, look into shipping cost/protocol.

I do have 2 females and 1 male left from my last litter,
What color(s) and or patterns are they?

or I do have a waiting list I'd be happy to add you to as well.

Assuming, note the word in assuming please :face_palm_02:, that shipping isn't too costly, I would love to be added to your waiting list.

The 2 girls are both pintos with regular masks, and the male is a cinnamon with a wide blaze. They were born January 22nd, so all three are ready to go home at any point!

Do you have an email address? I would be happy to send you pictures, and/or get a little information from you for the waiting list and for shipping. I'll definitely look into that more as well! Thanks.

They sound adorable. I really want a split mask, but, you never know!

Do you have an email address?
