It all started back in March 1976 when Chris and his wife Marcia decided to keep a snake as a pet. The first job Chris had to do was to build a vivarium. This may be an easy task now but all those years ago it was a different story. The main problem was getting good advice. One day while in the local pet shop Chris met his first herpetologist. So trying to get all the information he could from his newly acquired friend plus the man in the pet shop he built, his first vivarium. It was made of conti-board and heated with a tubular greenhouse heater. True-lite was also installed. The first snake that Chris purchased was a baby boa .

Over the next few years more and more snakes were purchased. Most of them died within a few months but as time went on his experience grew.

The turning point came in 1979 when a 'male' cornsnake! Laid 9 eggs,7 babies somehow hatched. When people knew he had a few baby cornsnakes for sale they asked if they could purchase them. It was still apparent to Chris that people still were having trouble getting good advice and finding good vivarium equipment at a fair price. Chris now decided to start selling a very small amount of equipment to give the snakes he had bred the very best chance of survival. As he is not a pet shop and he hasn't the over heads so there is no need to charge pet shop prices, so more and more people asked him to supply different items in the pet line.

Chris has a full time job in the entertainment industry.
