Clint Bartley caught his first eastern black kingsnake at the age of six, and that sparked a love that never died.
Bartley Reptiles was formed in the early 2000s, still a hobby and a passion project in Clint’s spare time. Each year the project grew bigger. It started with a corner, then it became a room, and eventually the entire lower floor of the family home — plus a one-car garage — was taken over. The family was tolerant, if nothing else.
Bartley Reptiles built a reputation for service and quality. The passion for Asian rat snakes and black rat snake mutations exploded, and Clint became known as a leader in those arenas — black rat mutations especially, alongside several partnerships with his good friend Matt Most.
How Metazotics was born
In 2022 it was time. Clint had worked for the same company for twenty years, but he wanted a change that would let him spend more time at home with his young children. It was more than that, though.
Since he was six years old, Clint had dreamed of not a pet store, but a specialty reptile shop that created an experience for people who love the hobby. It was time for that.
A 9,000 ft² facility was purchased and a 3,000 ft² showroom was created, with a lot of help from family and friends. Metazotics was born.
