started actively keeping reptiles in 2000. was given a gravid red tail unknowingly on the gravid part. had a blast raising the babies and finding them homes and in less than a year I had over 75 reptiles. I relocated from AZ to OH for a job and rehomed all but 1.2 red tails. I lost those in the divorce in 2002 in 2009 my current wife and kids got me a normal BP for an early fathers day present. they were all terrified of it. within 2 months they all had the fever and we were up to 11 bp's in 3 short months. My idiot neighbor caught his house on fire labor day 2009 and in turn burned ours down too. we lost 6 of the 11 in the blaze. The loss of our beloved pets brought us to the name of our small business, House of Fire Reptiles. of course the 5 bp's(Karl pos het clown, edy normal male, Louise normal female, Meatwad bush baby male, Charlotte spider female)the fire department saved mean the world to us! We decided to continue collecting bp morphs and to breed to get the ones we liked but couldnt bring ourselves to purchase. and that puts us currently at 10.20 bp's and I just sold the last of the 2011's that we decided not to hold back today. well that about wraps it up for me. looking forward to getting to know some of ya'll. Happy Herping!
