    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....

Vended at the (seattle) Puyallup Reptile Show this past weekend and met Doug Day and his crew. This guy was very nice! I picked up an amazing Het Red Female from him, and plan to do business in the future. Thank you HDI. :)
 
Just got a black pastel from him on Jan 26, 2013. He was awesome. :) Super patient, had no problem answering questions, and was very thorough

HDI Reptiles and The Reptile Snack Shack

I first met Doug the owner/breeder of HDI Reptiles at the October 2015 Seattle reptile expo. He had an amazing amount of beautiful BP’s for sale and his Rogue gene stuff to display. I didn’t buy anything from him that day but his inventory stuck out in my mind. Fast forward a few months, out of the blue, I called him to see what he still had. So now I have 3 perfect BP’s from HDI reptiles so far – 0.1 Super Cinnamon, 0.1 VPI Axanthic het Albino and a 1.0 Albino het VPI Axanthic. I got the two girls directly from Doug – the owner – himself and the boy from Doug and his partner’s store front – The Reptile Snack Shack. HDI Reptiles and Reptile Snack Shack are awesome peeps. Doug was able to accommodate and meet me on short notice and let me choose the girls I want.

These are older pix of the girls - Ozma (VPI Ax het Albino) and Shadow (Super Cinny in shed):

When I went to the storefront, they didn’t have an Albino het VPI Axanthic boy in stock. They had swapped out some BP’s they had but was willing to have the boy delivered to me from their home/breeding location an hour away. That’s awesome service. Here he is (pix taken 5 minutes ago):

I love his super reduced pattern.

he has yellow speckling on his belly, something my other Albinos do not have. probably can't see it in the pix tho as he was squirmy.

Also the store _The Reptile Snack Shack - itself is really nice and clean. A nice selection of lizards and snakes, reptile supplies and live and frozen feeders. They also do education and fun stuff for the community. One time while I was there, a customer even stopped by to donate empty tanks as a thank you.

Anyway all of my HDI produced BP’s are perfect – eating, shedding and going to the bathroom perfectly. And more importantly, they are growing! I should be on track to produce VPI Snow’s and Cinny/Super Cinny combos. Doug is really nice and always has time to chat about BP’s. I look forward to his tables at shows and when he publicly begins selling his Rogue and Rogue combos.
