We have been keeping and breeding reptiles for over 15 years and have strived to produce the highest quality captive bred animals.

We have a particular interest in Varanids (monitor lizards), but enjoy working with many species of lizard both large and small. We are dedicated to the health and welfare of reptiles in captivity and go to great lengths to ensure their well being before and after every sale. All of our reptiles are produced in healthy, sanitary environments that ensure the quality of each animal. We take pride in

LAST CALL!! I have some gorgeous black tree monitors (Varanus beccarii) traveling to the USA on Wednesday Aug.21st. Let me know if you’re interested in accommodating them for a visit. DM for details.

I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with this amazing complex of monitors. To think that in the not so distant past tree monitors were thought to be almost impossible to breed, and now we have a good foundation of knowledge that has allowed to regularly produce these beauties in captivity. I'm extremely proud of the fact that we are able to offer CADCBB tree monitors to hobbyists while eliminating the need for problematic imports within the hobby. When you acquire CBB animals, not only are you getting the highest quality animal possible, but you also receive the full support of the breeder before, during and after your purchase. I couldn't do this without the help of my great caretaker Jocelyn and her countless hours of dedication. I'm just waiting on one more clutch to hatch to complete the "big six" tree monitor photo. Thanks to everyone who has supported us along this journey and stay tuned for some exciting things to come in the upcoming months. We also export world wide, so don't hesitate to reach out.

After struggling to cut its way through the egg shell, this little blue tree monitor takes its first breath. Again, I apologize for the long video, but you don’t get to document these events very often. Its head emerges at around the 7 minute mark. I hope you enjoy!
