Austin Molyneux

Owner

Austin has had a fascination with reptiles since his early childhood. What started as hiding garter snakes and fence lizards in his bedroom closet as a child developed into a lifelong passion for keeping and breeding rare and uncommon species. Acquiring his first Bearded Dragon and Northern Blue Tongue at the age of 12, inspired his lifelong love of Australian herpetofauna. He’s been breeding reptiles for 19 years with a focus on Blue Tongue Skinks since 2012.

Joe Molyneux

Heir to the Skink Poop Throne

Joe is an avid reptile enthusiast with a huge heart and a particular interest in Tortoises. Hes a tremendous help around here, an absolute asset to Moonshine Reptiles Arizona. Like the tortoises that he loves so much, hes also a bit slow moving (especially in cold weather) but he dedicates a huge amount of his free time to caring for the animals here, hes growing into an incredible man that I am proud of every single day.

Jake Molyneux

Bearded Dragon Boy

Jake is my 12 year old son. A huge fan of Bearded Dragons and Tegus. Like his Bearded Dragons, hes fast moving, sincerely believes that everything is food, and doesnt always smell great, but hes got an incredible desire to learn and an unparalleled ability to very quickly bond with even the most feisty lizards. Hes a very talented and irreplaceable member of the team.
