Rushing Reptiles LLC is a family-owned reptile business built on passion, education, and doing things the right way.
We’re Chris and Kassie Rushing, a husband-and-wife team (and proud parents) who turned Chris’ lifelong love of reptiles and Kassie’s love of teaching & learning into something we could share with others.
Our journey started years ago, watching reptile videos together and learning everything we could. We were especially inspired by breeders like Brian Barczyk, whose passion for reptiles showed us how much education and ethical care really matter. What began as curiosity quickly turned into keeping, then learning, then breeding responsibly, and eventually building Rushing Reptiles.
Today, reptiles are part of our everyday family life. Our kids help us feed, clean, and learn about the animals right alongside us. For us, this isn’t just a business. It’s something we grow together as a family.
At Rushing Reptiles, we focus on:
• Animal welfare first
• Ethical, responsible breeding
• Honest communication
• Education for new keepers
• Healthy, well-started animals
Every animal we sell is cared for like it’s staying with us forever. We prioritize proper husbandry, clean setups, and stress-free handling so our reptiles thrive long before they ever go to a new home.
We love helping families, kids, and first-time keepers feel confident and excited about reptiles. Whether you’re buying your first ball python, crested gecko or adding a new morph to your collection, we’re always happy to answer questions and share what we’ve learned.
Because at the end of the day, we’re not just breeders.
We’re reptile people, just like you.
