Welcome to my site. I am a private breeder selectively working with two species of pythons. This is a brief explanation and mini-history of who I am and where my goals are taking me.

I have kept snakes since 1988 and I've been breeding pythons since 1995. My professional life working with reptiles and the reptile industry has been a fascinating experience. I am fortunate to have experienced working with some of the most well known breeders in the industry. This has greatly helped me in numerous ways, including the care and breeding of the snakes I am keeping. But most of all, their generosity and dedication have helped to shape my life and personal goals in positive directions.

I was only 19 years old when I saw my first Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis.) I was so enthralled with this amazing creature, I vowed to one day have some of my own.  I was working for Eugene Bessette in North Central Florida who runs Ophiological Services.  For three years I worked with Eugene and the pythons.  I eventually ended up getting 1 male and 2 females from my former employer. When I moved to Texas to work for Dave and Tracy Barker with VPI Pythons, I picked up another male to add to my breeding group of Green Tree Pythons. While I was working for VPI, I also rounded out my Ball Python (Python regius) breeding colony by getting several more females. I have since added some excellent snakes from VPI to my collection. Next to the Green Tree Pythons, the Ball Pythons are my favorite. I am only working with these two species of pythons.

Within the first few months in Texas I met my husband Mitchell Justice Webb who is an accomplished and  talented musician. He is the front man in a band called the Swindles. Turbo-charged Texas-Garage Rock at it's finest. He was unfamiliar with snakes and was quite taken aback when he first viewed my collection. But he quickly made room for me and all my snakes in his life. I couldn't have asked for a better friend or husband in my life. We have been together for over nine years now. I believe that our marriage is successful because we both have separate and an equally consuming passion for our hobbies.

This is an brief explanation of who I am and what I am doing. It has been an amazing learning experience for me in the reptile community, and I can't wait to meet the future. I hope you have enjoyed this site and encourage others to come here. I sincerely appreciate everyone's comments, contributions and business over the last seven years online. Feel free to email me with your questions or comments. Although I can't always answer every husbandry-care question pertaining to pythons, I will be happy to try, time permitting.

    Sincerely,

                Hillary Webb
