Allie's love for animals started when she was just a young child. If there was any animal in need, she surely was begging her parents to let her help it out. While most kids her age were reading kids' books or watching cartoons, she was busy reading and learning about all things animals or watching Steve Irwin on TV. One of her favorite pastimes was trying to train her dogs and figure out dog behavior. Fast forward to the current years and now she practically has her own mini zoo. Her daughter, Claire, brought about her love of reptiles after two persistent years of begging for a snake. This is a huge reason they now want to educate kids and adults to help them learn through a positive hands-on experience to create a desire to preserve, protect, and help the future of reptiles. It is important to Allie that every child to adult feels like the most important person in the room at every event, people are also her passion.
Zach has been an avid outdoorsman, fisherman and hunter his whole life. He has a tremendous passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. He is the brains behind our breeding program as well as creating our animal enclosures. His favorite reptiles to work with are the extra feisty ones with big attitudes! He might just have as much knowledge as any internet search engine when it comes to reptiles so if you have any questions, he is for sure your guy!
Claire like her mom has loved animals since she was born. She isn't a "regular" kid who wants to watch cartoons or read kid books, her favorite thing to watch is educational YouTube videos about all reptiles. She is also a HUGE Steve Irwin fan/Iriwn Family enthusiast. She has begged her parents for snakes for two years until they finally gave in. Thanks to Claire, they are all equally obsessed and passionate about reptiles. Claire is an extremely knowledgeable animal handler and keeper at her young age of 7 years old. She has a soft and caring nature and loves teaching kids all about reptiles. She can connect with children in a way adults can't. Claire is fearless, brave, and we can all learn so much from her!

Chayse has always been about the outdoors and animals. She grew up on her family's farm learning the ways of the world-and often looked for salamanders, frogs and any other animals that called the farmland home! In High School she was part of FFA (Future Farmers of America) where she learned both about the environment and animals along with plants too! She found her love of teaching about reptiles and nature when she got the chance to bring one of her pet snakes in and show the whole school how cool and gentle these feared animals are. She has gotten opportunities to go all over the country and be able to visit large reptile facilities across the nation and even help with zoo chores! Now Chayse is a full time student at a community college where she is majoring in Environmental Science and learning all she can about the animals she loves.
