Riley's passion for reptiles ignited during his formative years and blossomed into a career in zookeeping after graduating from UC Santa Barbara. Professionally engaging with reptiles became his reality as he eagerly immersed himself in the world of zoology and private hobby sectors. It was within these realms that his deep affection for Morelia and Carpet Pythons, in particular, first took root.

Over the years of maintaining reptiles in his home, Riley has consistently favored Carpet Pythons as his primary focus. While he has delved into the realms of Brazilian Rainbow Boas, Madagascar Giant Hognose Snakes, and Black Tail Cribos, Riley's passion for Morelia is evident. Despite exploring diverse "etc. species," the enduring centrality of Carpet Pythons within Riley's Reptiles remains unshaken.

Established with a foundation in zoological expertise coupled with an inherent passion for reptiles since a young age, Riley's Reptiles is a heartfelt initiative reflecting his profound love for these creatures. Riley aspires to craft exceptional quality pet snakes and future breeders for the hobby, with a genuine desire to extend the joy and appreciation for these serpentine companions to anyone curious to immerse themselves in the experience.
