At Orange Coast Arboreals, we invite you to explore the world of reptiles through the eyes of a lifelong enthusiast.

My fascination with reptiles began as a boy, sparked by the allure of the green tree python (aka “chondro”), whose vibrant scales and symmetrical pose captured my imagination. This initial fascination ignited a passion that would shape my life.

I kept a variety of reptile species until 2000, when I finally acquired my dream reptile—a chondro! My first chondro, a wild-caught Sorong-type, thrived under my care. By 2012, I had added a Biak and my first designer yellow neonate. After a brief hiatus, I returned to the hobby in 2016, focusing exclusively on designer chondros.

Among the various designer chondro phenotypes, the Trooper Walsh blue-line captivated me with its striking blue appearance and impressive lineage. I sold my other chondros and dedicated myself to collecting blue-line animals from the best breeders in the U.S.

The beauty of these chondros has also inspired my photography. Every image on this site, unless noted otherwise, is a personal capture, reflecting my passion for showcasing their unique elegance.
