About NERD - New England Reptile Distributors

NERD Is The Parent Of Zoo Creatures

NERD began the same way that many reptile breeders often do. A hobbyist with a passion for reptiles just starts a personal collection of animals. As the personal collection grows and word of these amazing creatures spreads, the animals eventually begin to pay for themselves. And before you know it, you have one of the largest reptile breeders in the Northeast.

 

Kevin McCurley – Founder and Owner of NERD – is that NERD hobbiest. Kevin understands that to some people, snakes are strange. Many people find them to be a scary, creepy mystery. Unlike mammals, or even other reptiles, snakes don’t have arms, legs or even eylids. Snakes can’t blink so they seem to always be looking at you. Creepy right? “We don’t identify with them,” says McCurley. “They’re like a boogeyman for people.

 

A herp enthusiast since early childhood, Kevin initially focused breeding efforts Pituophis and other large colubrids. Over time, his collection grew as did his interest in pythons. He was particularly interested in those pythons with which fewer keepers were working with at the time, namely retics (thy are often thought to be too big & psycho!) and ball pythons. Over the past 14 years, that focus on retics and ball pythons has brought a myriad of color morphs and combinations to the NERD collection. Many of these morphs were the first to ever be bred, right here at the NERD facility.

 

THE NERD PHILOSOPHY

When it comes to the herp trade, our philosophy is simple. If we start out with quality animals and maintain them properly, we can offer an animal that makes acquiring a new reptile a very rewarding experience. We strive to meet the customer’s needs and offer continued support. We want you to enjoy your reptiles as much as we enjoy ours and we go all out provide you with the very best animals available.


NERD TOURS

NERD is still doing tours but you must call to book a private tour. Our bookings fill up quickly and we are unable to accomodate short notice requests for tours. If you are interested in booking a tour, please Call Us (603) 382-3338.


AWARENESS AND EDUCATION

Public education and awareness is just one of our objectives at NERD. Promoting awareness and conservation of habitat and various species on our planet is important to us. We offer educational lectures within our immediate area to schools, scout groups, churches, and universities.

As mankind continues to move forward under the myth that the earth is forever renewable, unknown numbers of plant and animal species are being lost before they are ever even discovered. Education and up-close-and-personal encounters can have the greatest impact and influence on changing people’s perspectives about the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it with us.

 

NERD’s educational lectures and animal encounters allow many to come face-to-face with animals they might never have the opportunity to see in person. If you’d like to book NERD for an educational experience, please call us at (603) 382-3338.

 

NERD AND ZOO CREATURES CONTINUE TO GROW

NERD grew in stages, first expanding to a 5,000sq ft breeding center and later into their current 14,000sq ft shop now home to both the NERD breeding facility and their retail pet store Zoo Creatures. NERD and Zoo Creatures are located in the heart of New England in New Hampshire. While ball & reticulated python morphs remain a primary focus, the NERD collection also boasts a fine selection of monitors, green tree pythons, boa constrictors, rock iguanas, and “Wally” – the friendly resident 8′ alligator who stands guard in the basemen
