When I was younger my father used to document snakes around Wisconsin.
I was just a kid, most likely 6 or 7 years old, when he first started
bringing me along on his little “escapades”. I specifically remember one
time at Paradise Marsh when one of us removed a 5-8 lb rock that
was embedded in the ground. At first glance I did not see
anything other than a worm, which I decided to pick up because it looked
different from other worms I had seen and after further inspection
realized it was a baby snake! That particular snake was a DeKay's Brown
snake; normally they do not grow to be any bigger than 8-14 inches.
Ever since that period of my life I have been hooked on anything to do with
reptiles and amphibians. I've had uncountable reptile and amphibian
pets, studied snakes and other reptiles, and a few years ago
was finally old enough to get a well enough paying job to afford some of
my first ball python morphs. It has been a dream of mine since I first saw pictures
of the piebald mutation on Dan and Collette Sutherland’s website when I was younger
to own these morphs. At the time $20,000 had my jaw hitting the floor
and I thought I would never have such a magnificent animal in my collection.
I met my wife Andrea in high school, and a couple
years after we graduated we got married. We started our ball python
collection about a year after we started seeing each other, and even
when I first proposed the idea of breeding ball pythons she was nothing
but supportive and, in fact, was almost as excited as I was about getting
some of these beautiful snakes. We live in Beaver Dam Wisconsin, and
have a relatively small collection. This is not our only
source of income, and we have no intent on having hundreds of breeder
ball pythons. I myself am a PC technician and Andrea works at a local
gas station while she goes to school for Liberal Arts. We want to keep
our collection easily manageable and small. This is more of a love and
hobby of ours than a job and without a lot of help we feel we could not
maintain a huge collection at our high standards.
At first I was not sure if I was going to create a website and sell my
snakes outside of Wisconsin. With such a small collection I know I
will not have a problem selling all my stock within my home state, but I
decided that one more website for me to maintain would not be much work, and
I would love to be able to sell snakes throughout the entire US. We are more
than happy to help out with any herpetological questions people have and anyone
who wants to contact us is more than encouraged to do so. We have two main goals
here at Royality; offering people quality, 100% healthy captive bred ball
pythons, and having the best customer support anyone could ask for both before
and after a purchase.
This being said we hope you enjoy our site and our collection, and we
hope to hear from you!
