Hi, I’m Lavender-🌈🧠
the rainbow mind behind
Lavender Super Morphs

I’m an artist, master herpetologist, and peer-reviewed Permaculture Designer with a lifelong love for all things strange and beautiful. Whether I’m building naturalistic enclosures, filming snakes, or geeking out over genetics, everything I do is rooted in curiosity, care, and connection.

Hi, I’m Morgan -🧑🏻‍💻🧠

The Tech Mind Behind
Lavender Super Morphs

I’m an engineer, adventurer, and lifelong animal lover who brings the vision of Lavender Super Morphs to life through tech, tools, and hands-on work. From building custom habitats to wiring environmental controls, I’m the one making sure everything works behind the scenes.

🐢 Our Animal Story

💜 Her Story

Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember—cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice… even sugar gliders, lynxes, and hermit crabs. But reptiles? That was an instant connection.

It started with the very first snake I ever caught, in my front yard, a little rosy boa who I tried to get eating pinks. In elementary school we rescued a Desert Box Turtle named Henrietta and my love of reptiles continued to grow from there. Since then, I’ve cared for slider turtles, various pythons, asstd. geckos, desert tortoises, neo-tropical tree boas, and my absolute favorite: The Plains Hognose Snake.

My home has always been a safe place for misunderstood species and wayward creatures. And now we have added tarantulas to that list! Every animal I’ve kept has taught me something about patience, presence, and respect—and that philosophy guides everything we do here.

His Story💙

I grew up with California desert tortoises, a dove, rabbits, and a long-loved aquarium. Reptiles came later, but quickly became part of my world. I’ve been a dedicated keeper since 2021—and during Lavender’s cancer treatment from '22-'23 I took on full care of our Hognose and feeder mice colonies, learning how to support and sustain them with care.

That experience deepened my connection to the animals we keep and gave me a new sense of purpose. Helping Lavender rebuild from the ground up made me more committed than ever to this shared work—and to building something meaningful, together.

💜Why Reptiles Matter to Us🐍💙

In 2022, Lavender was diagnosed with breast cancer— during that time, she reconnected deeply with her lifelong love of reptiles and animal behavior. That experience changed everything, setting us on a new path we’ve followed ever since.

She immersed herself in learning and enrolled with @reptelligence in 2021 to study reptile behavior and enrichment. In 2025 she proudly completed both the Master Herpetologist I and the Husbandry and Captive Management Programs through The Amphibian Foundation.

Morgan is the one behind the tech—designing the systems that bring our habitats to life. From electronics and lighting to environmental controls and automation, if it needs wiring, building, or problem-solving, he’s the man. We co-design our FOHMs (Front Opening Habitat Modules) and develops tools together that make reptile keeping more intuitive for others.

This journey has been one of growth, healing, and rediscovery. It’s only deepened our passion for connecting others with these incredible animals in thoughtful, ethical ways. We’re building something lasting at Lavender Super Morphs. Lavender brings the vision and knowledge; Morgan brings the hands that make it work. From thoughtful keeping to hardware and heart, this is a shared dream—and we’re proud to be growing it together.

🌿Life Outside the Rack

When we’re not caring for animals or tweaking enclosures, we’re probably:

✨ Dancing our hearts out at EDM shows

✨ Hiking through forests, fields, and anywhere green

✨ Stargazing, eclipse chasing, and cosmic adventuring

✨ Traveling for inspiration, connection, and fresh perspectives

✨ Tending our permaculture garden and learning from the land

✨ Journaling, sketching, and dreaming up new ideas

Because our world doesn’t stop at the reptile room—it’s all connected.

Lavender Super Morphs is where all of this comes together—science, nature, creativity, connection and technology.

Whether you’re brand new to reptiles or deep into the exotics hobby, We're glad you’re here. 💜💙
