Welcome to CML Reptiles, owned and operated by Chris LaViola.

Growing up, reptiles and especially snakes, have always captured my interest.  I started simply by collecting different species of snakes and lizards, starting with a Bearded Dragon and soon after a Ball Python. 

I then went to my first reptile Expo, and the addiction really took hold.  Seeing the different species that people were successfully breeding in captivity, I immediately knew this was something I wanted to do.  I got my big break when I met Gino Sassani of Lost World Reptiles.  Working with him, I learned nearly all I know about the husbandry, incubating, brumating, and general care of snakes.

Since then, I've worked with quite a few species, from corn snakes to boa constrictors.  I decided in the end that the main focus of my facility should be the captive breeding of Green Tree Pythons.  While I still do some ball python and corn snake projects, the main focus of CML Reptiles is producing high quality captive born and bred Green Tree Pythons. 

Enjoy the photos that will be up soon, and hopefully through my efforts, more people will be able to enjoy these wonderful creatures.
