We are developing new tests every day.

We are constantly doing the research to develop new and exciting tests in the reptile industry. From basic sex determination across multiple species to Morph identification and lineage tracking. Check back often to see what’s new.

Have an idea for a test? Reach out.

If you have a request for genetic testing that we do not already offer for a reptile that is common in the reptile hobby, you can help us create it. Your sheds help us develop and design new tests!
Probing is a thing of the past.

Why Risk It?

Sure, some reptiles are sexually dimorphic, but most are not.  Sex determination has often been done with popping or probing in the past with unreliable results that risk harming your pet! Ten years ago we determined that their had to be a better way!
RGI technicians know what they're doing.

Our staff sets us apart.

Dr. Benson Morrill is not only the creator of our tests and their validation, he is also the chief technical trainer for all of our staff. Dr. Morrill’s experience in developing highly efficient and effective testing procedures ensures a very high level of quality. These procedures come from over 20 years of experience working within the highest levels of the Biotech industry where strict standards were applied from federal agencies such as the FDA. Strict procedural compliance is the key to our testing methodologies.

For breeders of any size.

"RGI has really helped us a lot in our breeding endeavours.  Both positive and negative test results have helped us better plan pairings, holdbacks, and more.  Just today we received results on a hatchling from this year - a Pastel / Lavender Albino / Het Pied female that RGI tested positive for both Spotnose and Het Clown.  This girl is to date the most gene-packed and expensive animal that we have produced, and receiving those results has sent me over the moon with happiness.  Moments like this really help us feel like what we are doing is right and good, and RGI makes that possible.”

"RGI and shed testing has transformed my business! Investing in the genetic profiles of my animals has paid off many times over.”

"We’ve been using RGI for the past two years, and it’s been a game-changer for our breeding projects. We’ve eliminated the need for raising up breeding back, and proving out individual animals. As ball python breeders, we work with genes that are indistinguishable to the naked eye. Our goal is to combine these genes within a recessive gene to create a unique animal. This process can take many years, but RGI has made it possible and accelerated the timeline significantly!"

"RGI has saved us years of time & has eliminated much of the genetic guesswork in Ball Python breeding by revealing with certainty the genetics of my animals. Now I can make informed choices when choosing breeders to pair and hatchlings to hold back. Now it's as simple as an envelope and a postage stamp and before I know it, all my questions are answered! RGI is at the forefront of genetic shed testing and growing its capabilities into new morphs & species rapidly."

"RGI is a reliable beacon of innovation. I am consistently impressed with their tireless, interesting research and the upstanding character of the entire team. Every interaction showcases a group that is not only committed but also passionate, making them a standout partner for any breeder looking to elevate their projects and reach the full potential of their animals."
