OK, takes deep breath and goes to have another look. The brown background is horrid. Your graphic text seems to have been done on a white background and then made into a transparency so you still have all the whiteish pixels round the edge. If you're going to do that it's usually a good idea to do the text on the same colour background as your page or on a transparent background to begin with. I'd go for a white background to make the snake pictures stand out more. And I'd have something like the following for a heading. If you want it just help yourself. Its just over 18k for the entire graphic whereas your 3 graphics come to nearly 300k so the page should load a lot faster. Other than that the site is clear, easy to manoeuvre so well done.

After all the reptiles are not actually doing the innovating. "Innovation in Reptiles" would be better. I'm not sure that innovating is the right word though unless you are breeding snakes for various traits like colour etc that make them different from the species norm, otherwise they are just "bog-standard" snakes. So if your claim to innovation is actually in how you handle the snakes or deliver them to your customer your wording should be something like.

I made that logo for use on another site (with GoLive) which is still in development, so I brought it over to this one for kicks to see how it would look. I may try and do a white background here though. Thanks for the comments! (in reply to jaybee)

Yes, I am breeding snakes for different unique colors and patterns that is different from the wildtype. (in reply to Donkey)
