About me
My name is Tyron Terblanche and I found my passion for snakes when I was 9 years old watching my first Austin Stephens documentary. It was at this point I knew I would pursue the dream of having my own reptile breeding facility and produce quality animals that rival that of other breeders.
That same year I purchased my first snake from Panorama pet shop. It was a normal corn snake and the one turned into 2, then 3 and then I went into a phase where I would collect any and all snakes I was able to get on permit, from anacondas, skaapstekers, night adders, various rat snakes and many more.
Eventually 10 years later, I decided I needed to specialize in a specific species.
I chose corn snakes due to their wonderful nature and temperament, making them easy beginner snakes. Once I realized that they are available in the most beautiful colours and patterns, I started researching their genetic combinations and which genes to splice to create specific colours and patterns. I started producing morphs that included blizzard, albino, anery, charcoal, lavender, bloodred, mandarin, ghost, stripe and motley.
Always striving to produce high quality animals, I started importing more snakes and grew my collection to a large variety of morphs in many different species of colubrids.
