No Disposable Animals. We are here to promote GREAT REPTILES and a GREAT EXPERIENCE!

That just about sums it up right there. That is our mission, that is our philosophy. We want to set the reptile bar higher than it has ever been. We are pushing the accepted standards of reptile breeding, sales, quality, and husbandry to previously unachieved heights. We are part of the new vanguard in the industry, challenging the rest to meet our mark, and push beyond it. We encourage responsible reptile ownership, and our selection of animals, and the support and service that accompanies that, reflects our passion not just for the animals, but for the industry itself.

 
 
Chad
 
 

Quick Update for Chad's Bio- Chad is back with the New England Patriots (NFL) as of December '07. He was on the team the first of the season, but released to make room for injury moves. He stayed in shape, and at the ready for the call back, and now he is back for the rest of the season, supporting the team as an Outside Linebacker. Everyone always asks, and THIS TIME i am PRETTY SURE that this is his last season. Of course, i have said that each of the last 4 seasons, and then a great team calls with a Linebacker need...

My life is quite busy. I have finished my 13th season in the NFL, playing the 2005 season with the New England Patriots. At this point, being a husband and father take most of my time. My wonderful wife and children are truly the center of my world. I try to be as involved in their lives as i possibly can. So car pools, coaching girls basketball and softball, and helping out in the kids classes is where you can find me when i'm not at the shop.

Now that my football career is winding down, I am spending much more time at the shop. At this point I'm very hands on with our different reptile groups.

Being away playing football for the past 13 years, I've missed quite a bit, but I'm working hard to catch up. The great group of people who work at Pro Exotics have done a awesome job (this is true- Ed.), I don't want to be the one who messes up the good thing we have built.

In the last few years we have also started Tempgun.com. This offshoot of Pro Exotics is growing rapidly and we are very proud to be selling those great tools in a number of different markets.

For fun I snowboard and mountain bike in the wonderful Colorado mountains. I also make time to work out and to do yoga. Now that i will be living in one place for the first time since 1992, I am planning my first garden. I hope my reptile thumb can also be a green thumb too!

I started with Pro Exotics from the very beginning, back in 1993, and I've done my best to guide us on the right track ever since. 38 years old in 2008, I find that PE keeps me amazingly busy, working 6 to 7 days a week, all kinds of hours (although not a morning person). I try and stay active outside of PE, and I bike as much as I can, mountain biking and pump tracking at the PE track. We are building a giant pump track and 4 cross/BMX style track (a big one) at the new PE facility we are working on for 2008.

I have trained in MMA and Jiu Jitsu for years, and I enjoy that very much, my wife and I catch most of the UFC cards, and I stay up on the MMA scene in general.

Chad and Nicci go Downhill mountain biking with me during the DH season, and we always have a blast. Chad usually breaks stuff. Me, I am smoother!

Fave snake- probably the Boelen's. Fave lizard- the Ackies.

I also collect bikes, especially Vintage BMX stuff, and I have a site with pics and info at vintageredline.com.

At night, I like to patrol the streets meting out vigilante justice. No, wait, that's my superhero fantasy, sorry.

I also like to spend time with my wife, Nicci, who I married in the summer of 2001. She's real pretty, and makes me real happy.

 
   
 
 
Eileen
   
 
Eileen was the retail manager for our Pro Exotics store, but now that we have moved past that particular adventure, she has become quite a snake breeder.

Eileen is really doing some exciting work with our snakes, in particular our Coxi, Mandarins, and Rhino groups, exploring new possibilities in husbandry, setups, and breeding. Her daily focus and dedication has really allowed those groups to blossom, and we are all excited about the health and reproductivity of our snake groups. That success comes right back to Eileen, she is really making it happen.

When I (Robyn) was a little kid, my entrepreneurial spirit always led me to think "I sure hope I can work with my Mom one day!" I never thought it would turn out like this, cause it sure is different, but fun! : )

Eileen will hit TEN years with PE in 2007, time sure does fly…

 
 
Jimmy
     
 

I'm Jimmy and I stated at Pro Exotics in 1998. In my 8 years at PE I have taken care of any number of animals from Geckos, Uros, and Gilas to the Boas and Pythons, on down to the crickets, roaches, and rodents they eat.

When I am not working with the animals I'm usually trying to hide from Ollie…He's always trying to make babies with me : ) Seriously, I am strongly dedicated to Pro Exotics and put my heart into the many projects that go on here. I also have a private collection of animals at home that I enjoy taking care of and breeding.

On my own time, I enjoy playing practical jokes on people and hanging out with my freaks and my peeps…ya hear me? LL Cool Jimmy!

 
 
Ollie O'Rourke
     
 

Hi, I'm Ollie and I officially started working at Pro Exotics in Sept  of 2001 then I left in Oct 2002 to go back to California. I soon  realized I couldn't get enough of Pro Exotics and wanted to come  back. So after 2 years of begging and whining they brought me back in  May of 2004…Nice!

At PE I take care of the breeding Boas and Pythons and the best part  of my job is making babies with Jimmy. For all you freaks out there… it's not what you think : ) Seriously, it is always a thrill to see when the babies are born or hatched. It gives me a real sense of  satisfaction to be part of the breeding projects from start to finish.

I am very dedicated to PE and take pride in what I do here. I enjoy  this industry and have my own private collection I am proud of as well.

Since I am not married, when I am not at Pro Exotics I like trying to  pick up chicks, which isn't very hard for me because I am Ollielicious!
 
       
 
Nicci
     
 

Hi!

I'm Nicci and I have worked at Pro Exotics since Spring of 2003 and just in case you were wondering, my favorite color is green. I am not directly involved with the animals but I am a friendly voice on the phone when someone calls PE looking for one or when they call Tempgun.com looking for one of our Temp Guns.

Before I worked at PE I would take vacation time from my old job in healthcare/pharmaceuticals and travel with Robyn to trade shows where I've met lots of folks in the industry and some customers I will never forget. I consider myself a lucky lady to be able to wear jeans to work and see some great ideas come to fruition.

I am also a yoga instructor so when I am not here, I am usually on my yoga mat, playing with my doggies, Emma and Roo Roo, or spending time with my ridiculously handsome and funny husband, Robyn.
