Rob Rausch
Ruler of Retics
With over 30 years of reptile experience, my passion runs deeper than just retics. From the time I could walk, I was outside chasing snakes, lizards, frogs, turtles, etc. My first snake at the age of 15 was a normal Ball Python, and I’ve never lived without reptiles since. I have been blessed in my life over the past decade to build my own personal collection of Dwarf and Super Dwarf retics, and quickly realized it was my most favorite species of reptile to work with. When the opportunity presented itself to work my full-time job as a Dwarf and Super Dwarf retic breeder, I couldn’t have been happier. There is nothing else I’d rather be doing. I am living my life-long dream.
