About Us 

meet the owner

Hello! My name is Nallely Orozco and I have always been driven by my passion for working with and helping animals- especially reptiles. This led me to pursue a career and degree in Zoology with a specialization in Herpetology. I spent 5 years undergoing extensive education, internships, research opportunities, and much more to earn my degree/title and continue to attend and participate in Herpetology courses to stay up to date on the most current information available. All while simultaneously gaining hands-on experience working with, caring for, and breeding my ever growing personal collection of reptiles. My hope is to change the negative stigmas and stereotypes surrounding these fascinating creatures through education and exposure and ultimately, reduce the amount of neglected and surrendered animals that are found in this hobby.

Hello! My name is Clay Ferguson and ironically, I was not always a reptile lover. Like many people, I was raised in an environment that feared, distrusted, and disliked reptiles and amphibians. It wasn't until I met Nallely that everything changed. Just being around her overwhelming passion for these animals was inspiring and the more I learned about them, the more I found myself not disliking them as much. Needless to say, I fell in love with this hobby and have been a fierce advocate for education and conservation of reptiles for over 5 years. My journey gives me a unique perspective that allows me to understand and help all kinds of people overcome fears and negative stereotypes. Watching people not only stop fearing but eventually learning to love these animals like I did, is probably the most rewarding thing I've experienced.
