    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....

After many years of working with selectively breeding Gray rat snakes from our area we and our partner are proud to show off some of what we are now producing. We will most likely not have any babies for sale this year. I am just in the mood to show them off a little. So here are some pictures of some.
Enjoy
2015 babies


2016 babies

Our het females


And last some of our first babies we hatched in 2015 now starting to breed.






These are all pure Washington County Florida locality. This has been a long time coming and still more selective breeding to be done. We are out crossing the males this year to wild females to bring in new blood. Finally the Gray rat will maybe get the recognition it deserves.
 
Thank you both very much. This project started off as trying to bring out the peach highlights in some of the local population. After years of breeding it was coming out nicely. By chance my partner switched males with the females and hit the hypo gene. it has proven recessive . We are out crossing the hypo males this year to some new blood. Hopefully by next season we will be able to offer some to other herpers.
Thanks Sam
 
Sweet! I love all our (U.S.) rat snakes- I used to have grays, Everglades, amelanistic blacks, & currently have yellows (probably hybrids of yellow, Everglades & Gulf Hammocks). Great pets, intelligent, active & not too big (or heavy) to handle easily.
