Chinese Native Reptiles: Captive-Bred, Wholesale, Legal

China's native reptile fauna is one of the richest in Asia — and one of the least available through legal channels. PASHIJIA maintains captive-bred lines of the most sought-after Chinese species and exports them worldwide with full documentation. This page is your sourcing guide.

Popular Chinese native species we supply

King rat snake (Elaphe carinata) — the classic 'king of rat snakes', famous for its size and temperament; our breeding line produces consistent adults year-round.

Why captive-bred matters

Every animal we export is captive bred and acclimated before shipping. Captive-bred Chinese natives are hardier, parasite-free, and adapt far better to new environments than wild-caught animals ever will. For your customers, that means fewer losses and better reviews.

Captive breeding is also the legal pathway: Chinese nationally protected species can only be exported as captive-bred individuals with official permits — which is exactly what we provide.

Wholesale pricing and availability

Prices follow the quantity tiers shown in our catalog, with the best rates at 100+ pcs. Mixed-species orders are welcome — combine Chinese natives with our pet snake, gecko, turtle and frog lines in a single shipment to optimize freight.

Stock rotates with breeding seasons. If a species you need is not listed, ask — our breeding network covers 200+ species and we can often source or breed to order.
