Welcome to my reptile site

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Currently having one or two problems with some pics not loading properly. So we have decided to try building a completely new site. This site will still be updated while the new site is constructed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coming Soon Hopefully in the coming month I will be able to supply some quality snake and lizard books. These may be added to if demand allows.

This is a new site which will constantly be updated. It is about my snake and beardie collection and my breeding plans for the years to come. When I have hatchlings available, they will be advertised here. A picture gallery will be up and running when time allows and hopefully my friends snakes will be on show too.

**UPDATE 25/12/06** Well, Christmas has came and I am now the proud owner of a female poss. het piebald. I had this snake ordered from Bob Simpson ( sitonasticksnake.com ) and expected to pick it up at the end of January. My mum and dad arranged to pick it up on Christmas eve as a surprise. She had started shedding overnight but it is a bad shed so I wont have pics up until she is looking good. I now have a sub-adult female royal ordered, from Denise, a Glasgow based breeder, and hopefully will pick up a Brazilian Rainbow Boa this week from Derek Rintoul in Bathgate if he still has one left. Derek is also holding a female amelanistic corn for me until she comes out of brummation which will be the end of January or the start of February.

**UPDATE 26/12/06** Pics of new Royal Python in photo gallery.

**UPDATE 28/12/06**2 new snakes added to my collection. A young Brazilian Rainbow Boa, from      Derek Rintoul in Bathgate and a 2 year old female Royal Python from Denise Milligan who is based in Glasgow. Pics will be posted as soon as Royal has shed.

**UPDATE 31/12/06** Photos of new snakes in photo gallery.

**UPDATE 04/01/07**Another new snake added to my collection. A lovely young Butter Corn from Derek Rintoul in Bathgate. Pics will be on in a couple of days as she had just been fed when I picked her up.

**UPDATE 05/01/07**First sale!! The only beardie I was able to hatch was sold today.

**UPDATE 13/01/07**Been having a few problems with the site, so had to delete it and try again. Pic of Butter Corn now posted. Also some better pics of Brazilian Rainbow Boa posted now that he has settled in. Picking up another snake tomorrow.

**UPDATE 14/01/07**Picked up another snake today. A male Yellow Rat snake from the pet/reptile shop in Olympia Arcade, East Kilbride. One more snake to come in February and that will be me until the Snakeday show in Houten, Holland in September. Pics posted of new snake.

**UPDATE 05/03/07**Have just bought a pair of Leopard Geckos from James Whitelaw, a breeder in Edinburgh. I was going to concentrate on snakes at the moment but when James brought them in to the club, I just decided to get some. I am now going to set up a small colony and try to breed these as well as the stuff I have on the go at the moment. I also have a Florida Kingsnake now as well. This was a rehomer as the original owner felt he didn't have the time for it anymore. It is a bit narky but isnt a biter!

**UPDATE 19/04/07**Today I visited Forth Valley College in Falkirk to speak to some 16-17 olds from a link class who were doing a project on pets. Check out the visits page.

**UPDATE 21/04/07**Another new arrival. I swapped Aggro, the Florida Kingsnake for a male Royal python. Aggro was surplus to my long term plans with the snakes and a collector in Fife was happy to exchange. Unfortunately, his original owner had allowed the snake to be burned and he may be scarred. A trip to the vet this week I think!

**UPDATE 01/05/07**The coming and goings continue. I have bought another gecko (hypo female) from James Whitelaw, and I have decided to put my beardies up for sale as I need the room for more snakes.

**UPDATE 07/05/07**Today I sold my Bearded dragons. It was sad to see them go, especially Jack as I've had him since he was young. The buyer though has kept reptiles for a while and I know they are going to an experienced keeper.

**UPDATE 12/05/07**Sharon, my female corn laid 13 eggs.

**UPDATE 27/05/07**Picked up new Royal (Pastel) from Bob Simpson

**UPDATE 11/07/07**First of the eggs have hatched from my corns. 5 young at the moment. more still to hatch

**UPDATE 03/09/07**Was at IHS show in Doncaster yesterday. First British show so nothing to compare it against. Bought a new royal, some corns and a couple of geckos. met some new people and will go back.

**UPDATE 05/01/08**It has been a while since the site has been updated but alot has been happening. I have sold my adult male ratsnake which was not in my long term plans. I have sold some hatchlings but still have a few who are troublesome feeders. I got an adult female royal and a serpenco bred butter motley male as Christmas Presents. I am picking up 2 female (hopefully) Amazon Tree Boas tomorrow. The rest of the site will be updated soon and a new site is under construction.
