A bit about me for starters, as a teenager and probably before, I have always been fascinated with reptiles especially snakes, I started my career as it were, with wild caught European lacertids, having some success breeding wall lizards and green lizards, before moving on to Italian grass snakes, smooth snakes and British grass snakes. As always, more exotic fare was always beckoning from my local specialist,Dave Lester in Walsall,of all the available animals boa constrictors and Amazon tree boas were hot favourites and eventually aquired,I soon found that maintaining these was straightforward and the fascination grew.

Now 28years later I have a large collection consisting of Common Boas; Crawl Cay Dwarf Boas (normal, hypomelanistic, tangerine line, anerythrystic, super hypo, ghost,granite); Salmon Boas (normal, het albino, striped, abberant); Albino Boas (Sharp and Kahl strain); Sunglow, Jungle, Striped have also dabbled here and there with Guyanan and Suriname redtails, Ecuadorian redtails and Brazillian rainbows, however the main fascination is with tree boas. I now maintain a largish collection of Corallus including Caninus, Hortulanus, Annulatus and Ruchenbergeri of which i was lucky enough to obtain a group of mainland animals from Venezuela.

Over the years I have had some good fortune, for instance to be the first to work with and produce the Central American Motley Boa, I also work with several unique lines of Crawl Cay Boa and of course the Venezuelan Corallus Ruschenbergeri of which I maintain the only legal group in Europe (as far as I know). My collection is maintained in three (so far) temperature controlled rooms (not enough I know) and takes up most of my time these days. I strive to produce top quality animals, which I have exported on times to the USA and Japan, and various parts of Europe as well as supplying the British market. I can be found at most of the major UK/European shows either as Gazboas or if I dont attend then my animals can be found on the Welsh Reptile Breeders stand with Dave Davies, himself an outstanding breeder of top quality boas/pythons and leopard geckos, so come and say hello, we dont bite(much). You may notice that this site is quite utilitarian, I would much prefer to answer questions personally by phone,mail or at shows than write down everything here as if it was law, so dont hesitate to approach me at shows or to mail or phone with questions/suggestions.
