The Story of
Colton Scherer owner of Planet Python
I was born in Ottumwa, Iowa but I grew up in Florida. I have always loved animals. I was the kid in school who picked up frogs at recess. I started getting into reptiles when I was sixteen. I started with Bearded Dragons because of a family friend who had several. Then I migrated to my first snakes which were Corn Snakes. I started attending reptile shows all over Florida. My first reptile show ever was the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona in 2010. Shortly after that I purchase my first Ball Pythons and I was hooked. That first year I had Ball Pythons, I had three clutches, and have been steadily increasing my clutches each year.
I have been breeding ball pythons for over 10 years. I have produced thousands of babies since then. We have barely touched the potential of colors and patterns that ball pythons are able to a produce. I also produce several corn snake and other Colubrid clutches ever year so I have a variety of animals available.
I travel all over the east coast of the United States vending reptile shows. I plan on branching out and doing more and more shows each year, so I can reach as many amazing people as possible. I want to share our great designs and animals with everyone.

Facility
I started out with glass tanks in my living room like everyone else. Then I graduated to taking over the spare bedroom and filling it with racks. From there I took over the master bedroom and was breeding rats in my two-car garage. Well, after a while the neighbors turned me in for suspicious behavior in my garage and the cops and FWC were at my house a few times. They were amazed at how clean and healthy all the animals were. After that I was tired of living in the city and being limited to how much I could grow, so I purchased 5 acres in 2018 and since then have put 2 buildings for animals, one for snakes and one for rodents. I plan on putting in two more building for snakes and a very large barn for rodents eventually.
