Newly married to Becky, Jay pivoted from fishing to pursue his lifelong passion for reptiles.
He used a $6,000 deposit and $5,000 in savings to purchase Pet Country, a small pet store in Fountain Valley, CA.
Pet Country quickly gained a reputation for its extensive reptile inventory, becoming known as “The Reptile Leader.”
Jay’s passion for breeding rare and endangered species, like the first patternless leopard geckos and albino Burmese pythons, solidified his status as an expert in the exotic pet world.
