About us

The keepers behind Planar Familiars

Two friends. One growing collection. A standard we hold at home and bring to yours.

How it started

It began the way these things usually do — one animal, then a proper setup for that animal, then a second animal to keep it company, and before long a room full of enclosures and a shared obsession with getting the details right.

[Add your real spark here: the first reptile that started it all, and roughly when — a sentence or two in your own words.]

Somewhere along the way it stopped being just a hobby. We started breeding the animals we loved, built tools to keep our own collection healthy, and realized we could help other keepers do the same. That's Planar Familiars.

The two of us

Jose & Mason

Two friends who fell into this hobby together and never climbed back out. Same passion, same standard — no front of house and back of house, just the two of us.

Jose

Keeper & breeder

[Jose — a couple of lines in your own words: how you got into animals, and what you love most about keeping them. See the questionnaire.]

Mason

Keeper & breeder

[Mason — a couple of lines in your own words: what got you into reptiles, how long you've been keeping, and the species closest to your heart.]

Between the two of us, there's always someone who's kept, fed, or fussed over the exact animal you're asking about.

What we stand for

The animal comes first

It's a short list, and we mean all of it.

I

Done right, not done fast

Proper husbandry takes time. We'd rather tell you your setup needs work than nod along and take your money.

II

We explain the why

We'll walk you through what your animal needs and why, so you get better at this — not more dependent on us.

III

We'll talk you out of it

If an animal isn't right for your home or experience level, we'll say so. We've lost sales that way and we'd do it again.

IV

These are our animals too

Everything we recommend is something we do ourselves, every day, in our own collection.
