Gavin got his first retic in 1996 at 22 years of age. He started with a normal wild caught retic, and then got a tiger retic, and then the Albino came about! He was hooked and that is when it all went down uphill…. ;) Gavin’s love for the hobby was so passionate, he started to meet people, and learn all about the retics. At that time, it was normal to have wooden racks, homemade with duct tape, and all the sorts. He had a spare bedroom dedicated to his animals. He had boas, anacondas, burmese, ball pythons, a small alligator, and the retics. In Your Face Exotix was fully created in 2000. What started as a small hobby, has become one of the biggest and best things in his life (besides his amazing wife). In Your Face/Gavin has become one of the most well known breeders in the country and we are aiming for world wide!!! Stay tuned for more updates as time goes on!
