Hatchlings

*** Last Update: May 25, 2026

We have a handful of snakes still available from our 2025 clutches: Texas Indigos, Black Mexican Indigos, and Yucatan Blacktail Cribos. Please inquire.

*** 25% deposits are required to reserve 2026 snakes while we get them consistently feeding and established which may take a few months.  We are accepting deposits on the following 2026 snakes: Blacktail Cribos (Mottled, Clean, Yucatan, Axanthic, het Axanthic), Yellowtail Cribos, Unicolor Cribos, Texas Indigos (Normal and High Reds), and Mexican Indigos (Red and Black Phases).  Getting on the Priority Waiting List is NOT required this year.

***We are still experiencing high demand for eastern indigos and are currently only accepting people from California on the waiting list.

*** We often have a handful of adult Drymarchon that are available.  Some are retired breeders, and others are young and breedable animals that no longer fit into our breeding plans.  Please inquire in July if you are looking for something specific.  A strong priority will be given to previous customers.  We want these snakes to go to good homes and be well cared for.  Please inquire.

Terms for the Priority Waiting List

Every year, we have motivated buyers miss out on the opportunity to receive animals from us despite waiting long periods of time. In an effort to ensure buyers have a fair chance at receiving animals from us, we are implementing a Priority Waiting List.  

 

Please read the Terms of Service below carefully.

 

  • There is a $100 reservation fee per snake to be included on the PWL.  In other words, if you want a pair of snakes, the fee would be $200.

  • The fee is nonrefundable.

  • The reservation fee will go towards the cost of the snake being purchased.

  • Placement on the PWL will be prioritized by when the reservation fee is received.

  • People on the PWL will be offered snakes according to their placement on the list.  We will start offering snakes to people on our waiting list as snakes become available.

  • Being on the PWL does not guarantee you a snake within a certain time period.  Availability and placement on the list will dictate when snakes will be offered.

  • We reserve the right to remove people from the list as we see fit. 

  • Choosing not to buy the snakes once they are offered to you may constitute removal from the PWL without a refund of the reservation fee.  The reservation fee buys you the opportunity to buy the snakes you are looking for at whatever point they become available.  It does not afford you the opportunity to stay on the list indefinitely.

  • If you would like to be added to the PWL, please make sure you have read and agree to all of the above terms.  Please email me to get the payment instructions for the reservation fee. 

Hatchlings will be offered once they are feeding and fully established on unscented rodents.  This process can take a few months.   Your snakes will be shipped Fedex Priority Overnight once the full balance has been received.

A Few Important Notes

 

*Regarding our eastern indigos... Sales outside California will require a Federal Interstate Commerce Permit.  It costs $100 and involved a 2-3 month wait.  I will help you with the process.  My contact list for easterns is very long.  You may want to consider Mexican Redtail Indigos or Texas Indigos as an alternative.  Neither require permits... Some states require additional permits to legally possess Eastern Indigos.  We will not ship Eastern Indigos to these states without the required permits.  We work with over two dozen different adult snakes produced by a host of different breeders.  We will provide as much information as we can on the sire and the dam of your snake.  If you wish to purchase multiple eastern indigos, we should be able to provide you with snakes from different lineages.  All of our breeder eastern indigos have been DNA tested and have been paired to optimize genetic diversity.
