Our Happy Clients!
"After contacting Peter and I explained my project goals he was kind enough to release some of his personal holdbacks to get me on my way. The animals were trouble free, a testiment to the quality and health known to leave his facilty. Couldn't recommend him any higher for those new to the hobby or to experienced keepers - 10/10"
I started buying snakes from Peter & Jo Birch about 6 years ago. After doing a lot of research of various breeders & trying to find the best looking & healthiest antaresia, I really couldn't go past them. They provide a wealth of information before purchase to make sure you have the correct set-up to keep your new snake at its best and also plenty of after sales support too, if you need it. I can't recommend them highly enough.
