Random Testimonials:
"Garrick: WOW! What an awesome snake! This has to be one of the nicest looking pastel ball pythons I've seen and I am very excited to have him. I plan to breed him in the future and I can't wait to see what the babies will look like. I would like to personally thank you for your time and professionalism and for the level of service that was provided by Royal Constrictor Designs. I am extremely impressed with the snake's coloration, health, temperament, and the care that was taken to ensure that he was shipped and arrived properly and in good health. I can't say enough about how pleased I am. Thanks again and I'm sure I'll be back for a female somewhere down the road to start a breeding project. Thanks again!" ~Eric Trunnell, Upland California

Royal Constrictor Designs Newsletter for January 2010:
Hey everyone!
I hope you are keeping warm in the dead of Winter. Temperatures are cold outside here in Wisconsin, but we still have a little piece of the tropics in our facility. It is 80 degrees, humid, and "sunny" in here every day! We just got out of our cool-down for our boas and pythons, so breeding season is in full-swing!
Green Tree Pythons: We have a clutch of 20 perfect eggs incubating already this year. The pair that produced these have produced 3 clutches over the past 3 years- over 60 fertile eggs! It looks like we may have 2 or 3 more clutches laid this spring, too. I'll be posting photos of our breeders in our photo galleries soon.
Reticulated Pythons: We have a clutch of super dwarfs incubating right now. The parents are now 7 years old and they are still around 7 feet long. We also have a clutch of eggs incubating that were produced by a pair of het albinos that are 50% dwarf and 50% super dwarf. At 7 years old, this pair is still only 9-10 feet long. They are definitely larger than a pure super dwarf, but still very small by retic standards. We'll have albinos and 66% possible het albinos available in Spring.
Boa Constrictors: It looks like we have about 6 gravid females right now. I never like to count my boas before they are born, but if things go well, we'll have a nice assortment of morphs including hypos, albinos, sunglows, snows, moonglows, motleys, sharp albinos, and sharp sunglows. Our litters typically start coming in March.
Ball Pythons: 2009 was a great year for us in terms of the number of cool morphs we produced, such as pastel clowns, killer clowns, pastaves, leucistics, honeybees, killerbees, spinnerblasts, etc. We also produced the world's first Caramel Albino Spider. 2010 should bring us even more morphs than last year.
You can keep up with our egg production and hatching in our "snake sphere" on our website. I also plan to update our photo galleries of python and boa morphs, as well as our facility photos. We have some newer, and hopefully better, photos of many of our morphs that we'd like to share. Also, I have re-organized our facility, so our old photos are a little out of date.
The last thing I wanted to mention is that we will be attending the special NARBC Expo in Chicago/Tinley Park, Illinois on February 13th and 14th. We will have a huge assortment of geckos at this show, and plan to offer them at incredible sale prices. Also, we plan to donate 10% of our gross sales from the show directly to PIJAC and USARK to help fund the battle against S373 and other anti-reptile related legislation. I hope to see you there!
Thanks!

US Fish & Wildlife Press Release US Fish & Wildlife Service announced today that they want to initiate the process of 'Rule Change' to add the Burmese Python and 8 other large constrictors (as per USGS report) to the Injurious Wildlife list of the Lacey Act. They announced that they would publish this proposal in the Federal Register in early February. There will then be 60 days for the public to make comment.
This is an opportunity for the scientific process to play out. We have asked for science to trump political expediency.
