SnakesRkewl - Your breeding stock is simply stunning and a joy to see. I can only wish to raise stock of this quality and I am extreme admirer of self rats and velveteen fur. There are Ratterys in Arizona however they are either too far away or they release the rats with no breeding contracts. While I could take the shady route I choose not be dishonest. Truly fantastic stock...I'm drooling!

This is a new year and my breeders have been retired. I worked a perfect self Siamese Rex project however I was forced to sell the stock. The last and final pairing was a mother and son. After the move the mother at three litter until retired. It feels quite disappointing to hear this even if I was not there to witness the abrupt end to my endeavors.

Another disappointment this year was going out to purchase breeders and finding the stock available was by far limited, unimpressive or suffered from external parasites. My breeders from the past two years came from the Arizona Reptile Center but after buying my new stock from this store I returned them shortly when I discovered lice. It's quite shame since they had some amazing chinchilla blues bred for conformation and genetics from a local.

I simply did not have a time to treat an outbreak of lice and purchased feeders from another establishment. They are wonderfully healthy and well mannered. However they are not quality breeders. There were three females but one died after the stress of moving, despite medications. The two surviving females appeared to have been impregnated before purchase. Making Pongo the youngest rat I have seen by far ready to birth.

Bo-Jangle - RIP She is on the very left.

Mutton Chops - His color doesn't not capture well in photos but it is interesting. Any guesses?


Pongo - Her jet black and pure white fur attracted me.
