I'm Markus Fricke, and I've been breeding corn snakes since 2018 and leopard geckos since 2024.
I focus on healthy animals, traceable genetics and honest advice – from first interest through to long-term support.

Transparency
Disclosed genetics, honest het information and traceable lineage – no glossed-over promises.
Health first
Vitality, feeding behaviour and a calm temperament come before looks. No chasing designer morphs.
Honest advice
From the first question to long-term support – open, factual and without any sales pressure.
My own tools
Documentation and a genetics calculator with my app DragonSphere – plus a free web genetics calculator for everyone.
My apps for reptile keepers
My recommendation: DragonSphere
To document my own animals in a structured way, I use DragonSphere every day – my app for reptile keepers and breeders. Feedings, sheds, weight and terrariums always at a glance, and since version 1.4 with full breeding management and a genetics calculator: work out pairings, manage clutches and trace the genetics of your animals. Free for up to 7 animals, in 38 languages – and your data stays completely private. The Android version is going live soon.
On the team: SoloPlan
DragonSphere works hand in hand with SoloPlan, my app for personal project management: reminders from DragonSphere – feeding, cleaning, misting and faecal samples – automatically turn into tasks in SoloPlan, where I work through them as a to-do list. Cleaning and misting can be ticked off right there (syncing back to DragonSphere). I also use SoloPlan to plan my terrarium projects. Two apps, one workflow.
