About Mother Of Reptiles - M.O.R.
Aanii! Hello!
​​
My name is Kristi - the proud indigenous founder and owner of Mother Of Reptiles LLC. Personally, I have kept reptiles for the past 25+ years, now focusing on endangered and critically endangered species. I strived to continuously improve on my methods and knowledge over the years. My professional background outside of reptile keeping is heavy in mechanical, electrical, and quality engineering.
Needing a more efficient way to offer a diverse wholeprey diet, I began with the creation of sausages used for my own kept monitor species. This was also an effort to combat obesity from rodent feeding and to diversify the diet. Minimizing prey handling and the ability for longer storage was important to make keeping a diverse diet more manageable. Seeing this as a need also for other keepers, I have made these available throughout the US.

Mission
Mother Of Reptiles was created to bring manageable reptile nutrition to the everyday keeper by providing high quality foods, while growing the appreciation and understanding of reptile species that exist throughout the world.
Giving Back
Mother of Reptiles(M.O.R.) is devoted to adding valuable data back to the reptile industry. Through our Research & Development projects, we aim to work with other facilities and groups to expand and mature the understanding of reptiles diets as well as overall care.
​
M.O.R. contributes a significant portion of profits to reptile conservation projects for Endangered and Critically Endangered species.
​
Our Future
Mother Of Reptiles LLC's ultimate goal is responsible captive breeding, conservation of threatened species, and to encourage improvement to the overall husbandry of reptiles in captivity. We recognize the importance of conservation through commercialization and are working to expand our endangered and critically endangered reptile breeding groups.
Captive bred animals help to lessen the demand of wild caught, decreasing the number of wild animals removed from the natural environment which reduces in-transit fatalities and maintains the ecosystem of the native area. Captive bred animals are less likely to have parasites and typically are of better health overall.
​
Our future breeding projects include:
-
Quince Monitor (Varanus Melinus) - Endangered Species (IUCN Red List EN)
-
Lesser Antillean Iguana (Iguana Delicatissima) - Critically Endangered (IUCN Red List CR)
-
Grand Cayman Blue Iguana Hybrids (Cyclura Lewisi x Cyclura Nubila) - Endangered Species (IUCN Red List EN)
-
Mandarin Ratsnake (Euprepiophis mandarinus) - Not Endangered but unusual in the US
