Melia’s Country Critters
We are a family owned and operated animal breeder based in Montana that works with Sugar Gliders, Ball Pythons, and Rubber Boas.
Along with Western Hognose and Kenyan Sand Boas and hoping to expand in the future. https://instagram.com/meliascountrycritters?r=nametag
Unfortunately it looks like I will need to downsize some of my ball pythons. I’ll have a couple hatchling/juvenile racks with heat. A female juvenile super pinstripe, adult female, and probably a few more. Pm if interested. I’ll get a list and pics together later.
A little bribery with some new sugar gliders! Such sweeties. Boy do they love their treats!! Last night I tried a different treat and several were not impressed. They wanted their regular little nuggets. Sugar gliders (and most animals) can not have chocolate. One white chocolate chip per glider on the other hand is ok. But be strong!!! Resist the begging eyes for “just one more” chip…. I know your stronger than I am!! 😂
If your interested in a glider feel free to reach out. I hope I’m not mistaken but I think I see a small bulge in one of my girls pouches!!!!
I’ll be getting ready to put another batch in soon!! Coturnix quail are so cool!
So I realized it’s been awhile since I’ve posted…. But here’s a cute little sugar glider to make up for it!
Congratulations to Charlene Bakos for winning this years art contest! I’ll be reaching out shortly.

NFS just wanted to share a pic of our bearded dragon! Such interesting critters!
Just a few balls… a male (poss het axanthic/hypo/Carmel albino) and two females…
A few adult male axolotls!! Top left axanthic mel, bottom left copper mel, right copper axanthic.
An update on the squirrels! They are definitely growing and always happy for food time. It’s fun watching the tails fur up!
This would have been a beautiful clutch!!!
But on a brighter note, it looks like I have pregnant sugar gliders!!
They have their eye open!!! 4 weeks old and going strong!
Exciting news!! We have recently welcomed some baby squirrels! They are around 3 weeks old and need a lot of care. Looking forward to seeing them grow, and eventually being free!! Wish us luck!
A sad day today and another reminder breeding isn’t always fun and games.
I found out my ac for my snakes failed today and I ended up loosing 4 of my ball pythons. 3 females that were almost breeding size, and one of my males. My very first ball python was included in the ones I lost. The heat tape had been turned off because it’s been so warm, but that still wasn’t enough without ac. This is a very frustrating set back for my breeding plans. Pray that the weather isn’t too hot until then.
*Picture of my current litter of week old Rotty pups while I scramble to get better ac set up so I don’t loose any more of my beautiful snakes.
Two male Ball Pythons up for grabs. Pastel 50% het VPI Axanthic and a 50% Tripple het VPI Axanthic/Caramel Albino/Hyop with Batman on his back. Great eaters looking for new hides.
This cutie has already been claimed, but I still had to brag about how adorable this little sugar glider is!
We have a new addition! Freshly hatched quail chick!
This gal has definitely stolen my heart ❤️
Adult male Kingsnake available. Trades also considered (rubber boas, some ball pythons, or sand boas). Located in Missoula Montana.
I enjoy watching them way to much…
…never mind! Not possible!!
Today was aquatic day… My hold backs from these babies! Love their floofs.
The small ones are all the same ages, and the other is about 2 years old.
Now available! A female ringtail mosaic sugar glider! She’s only a few weeks old now, so there’s still time before she can go to her new home.
I’m extremely excited about this little one!! Look at the blue on it! Hopefully it’s a she, but she’s been growing like crazy. 1 of 4 of my diamondback terrapins.
