Niagara Reptiles is a life time interest and hobby grown out of control.  I've always had a love for animals, especially reptiles, since as far back as I can remember.  I can recall keeping native species of snakes, amphibians and turtles as pets during summer months when I was a child, and purchased my first reptile from a pet store at the age of twelve (a Colombian Boa Constrictor).  Little did I know, that modest beginning would grow into an extensive collection and successful business......and I've never been without reptiles in the house since.

  Over the years I've cared for several exotic species of snakes, lizards, geckos, turtles, tortoises, crocodilians and amphibians.  I don't think I would be where I am today without the support of my parents.  When I was a teenager my collection was growing rapidly so Mom and Dad allowed me to take over another room across the hall for my animals, my first reptile room!  I don't think they were ever as into it as I was though they still supported me and allowed me to keep my collection in their house. 

  I have also been fortunate to have experienced many captive breedings among the species in my care as well.  Those who know me are aware of my strong feelings regarding the importance of captive breeding programs.  Not only will captive reproduction ensure a healthy captive population of many species, I hope will also encourage the same passion that I have for the animals in future generations through exposure and experience.  Education is the key to conservation, in both captivity and in the wild.

  We pride ourselves in quality and genetic diversity and are happy to pass along any advise and experiences we've had to those that may also be able to take something educational from it. 

  Thank for you considering us for quality, captive bred reptiles and for supporting the captive propagation of reptiles in Canada!
