The Snake Keeper Blog

Coming home from a show is always interesting. There is so much to do and everything is mostly where you left off. You know how it is going on vacation. Well it is the same but going to Daytona is no vacation. Lucky for us our daughter took care of all the new snakes hatching. We had a Killer Clown hatch while we were gone and she was so excited. She was texting me all about it. Things are in full swing now here as if they were not before Daytona. The show season has started and until the shows are over in two months things get a little stressed. Hatching out babies every day is a lot of fun and work. Giving every one of the a unique ID takes alot of time. Not too many breeders take the time to ID every snake they have but we sure feel it is an added value to the customer.

We have the rest of this week and a couple days next week and we are off to the NARBC Anaheim show. We fell this is the best show of the year for us since it is like going back home. Love California but hate thier budget situation right now. Any thanks for the comments on the site. There is more to come just have to get it all up there.

Well this week is alabout getting the snake room ready for Daytona. We have the whole family in for a few days just get it done. Being away for 5 days may not seem like a big deal but when eggs are hatching every day there is alot to be done. Today was clean up after yesterdays feeding and toping off all water dishes which will continue through tomorrow. I am also going to include some adult animals we have for sale on here today. We do not have them on the site but we wanted to get the word out what we have to move right now. These are all great aniamls we just have too many of them.

Getting the hang of the new site myself. I wanted to post a picture here to see how this all works out. I could not resist showing you this Axanthic Spider.

We have produced a few of these this season and the silver on them with the black and white is amazing. Check out the others on the Neonate pages.

YES! it is finally here the new website. Okay you are going to find some things missing but please be patient. We will try to get a little more done but really till after Daytona it is going to be hard. There is alot of cool features you are going to be able to play with here. I do not know how long Twitter is going to be having problems but you may want to get signed up on that to get the latest updates. I try to get the important things out there. Well let us know how you like the new site. We plan on really growing it over the next several months if things go well. Enjoy!

If you are reading this then you have noticed that this is our new site. 17 months in the making but worth the wait we hope. This past several weeks has been nothing but crazy. Snakes hatching out and lots of picture taking. Getting ready for the site this week has had me taking about 400 pictures a day it seems. Play with the site and see what needs attention and let us know. We were so anxious to get it up parts are not completed but will be coming online as we can finsh them up.

A powerful storm came through the area last night. As far as we can tell we survived the power outage. Good thing as that always worries you when the power goes out and you still have eggs cooking. We took the kids to the park for some fishing last night and there was downed limbs everywhere. We even saw a fire from lighting about a 1/4 mile away. Any ways though the shop is safe.

We are working non stop trying to finish up enough of the site that we can get it live and then finish it up as we go. You will notice we brought over all the cotent from the old site but we are adding more as well. Some of the functions will not be working yet but expect to see them soon. If you find things are not working or need adjusting please email the problems over to us.
