About Us

Founded and operated by Tyler Kostiuk in Southern California, Coastal Reptile Company is guided by a simple philosophy: deliver stunning reptiles responsibly. Tyler’s passion for exotic species, morph genetics, and herpetological well-being fuels every aspect of the business.

Tyler passion has crossed continents. Here he can be seen in Peru. Flying into the city of Iquitos, the only city in the region accessible by plane due to its isolation within the dense Amazon jungle. From there, he traveled three hours deeper into the wilderness, reaching a location right on the banks of the legendary Amazon River. Surrounded by lush rainforest and the sounds of wildlife, Tyler immersed himself in the local environment, collecting unique, indigenous species native to the area. These photos capture him in the heart of Peru’s natural beauty, engaged in exploration and discovery far from the reach of modern civilization.
