Policies and Frequently Asked Questions
Picking up animals/ Visiting the Ranch
We offer pickup at our facility in Kingsbury, Texas for any of our babies. I encourage pickups if possible to learn about your new animal in person. We are not open to the public for general visits, tours or private interactions with any of our animals. All visits and pickups at the ranch are by appointment and are for purchasing or pickup only.
We understand you may be making a sizeable and lifelong investment in one of our animals, which is why I encourage pickup if and when possible. However, visits to interact with a particular species to test compatibility is not offered. Our animals are in a natural, breeding environments with special relationships with us and our keepers.
