How it started
We met over ten years ago across a table at our local game store, in the middle of a Magic game. We were friends long before any of this, and for most of that time animals were Jose's world more than Mason's.
That changed a couple of years ago, when Jose brought Mason on at the local pet store. The bug bit fast. Working side by side, comparing setups and swapping ideas, a job turned into a shared obsession. When the chance to start breeding came our way, we took it, and not just to produce animals. We wanted to change how the word "breeder" looks and feels: do it openly, do it right, and share what we learn along the way.
Jose brings years of roots in the local animal community and a decade of hands-on keeping. From there we figure it out together, always researching, always trading ideas, and pushing each other to do better by every animal in our care. That's Planar Familiars.
