Right now, our focus is on the delightful Plains Hognose Snake (Heterodon nasicus nasicus)—a species we absolutely adore for their personality and behavior. As we continue to learn and grow, we’re excited to expand into other species. In 2025 we added Children's Pythons and Tarantulas to our exotic family!

At Lavender Super Morphs, our reptiles’ health and happiness always come first. We treat every scaly friend like family—because they are!

Our snakes' well-being is our top priority. Research shows that losing enrichment can be more stressful than never having it at all— even in mammals like rats. That’s why we use temporary racks only when needed, making them cozy with hides, burrowing substrate, and ideal heat, humidity, and lighting. Young snakes often feel overwhelmed in adult-sized enclosures. Like in nature, they do best in snug, secure spaces that match their stage of life. As they grow, we transition them into spacious, enriched habitats that encourage natural behaviors—something Western Hognose Snakes (Heterodon nasicus) thrive on.

Vermicompost is nature’s way of recycling—basically, it’s what you get when hardworking earthworms and helpful microbes break down organic material into rich, living compost. The result? A nutrient-packed boost for our plants, including both the compost itself and the liquid gold known as “worm tea.” We love using both to keep our plants thriving naturally and sustainably!

Mycorrhiza is a natural partnership between fungi and plant roots. The fungi help plants absorb water and nutrients, and the plants return the favor with sugars. (Fun fact: “myco” means fungus, “rhiza” means root!) Over 90% of plants in nature rely on this teamwork to thrive.
