Hi all,

I think 2009 will be my first year at breeding, it will be my Hoggies or my Royal Pythons.

I do for a combination of reasons, money being the least important factor, I'm not looking for profit, simply self paid hobby.

I Breed for the challenge and experience you go through with your animals.

And of course, when it comes to rearing hatchlings and finding them new homes, helps develop a community.

I have always aimed to breed whatever animals I have kept. A single animal of whatever species is nothing but a dead end - an evolutionary full stop. From when I was an eight year old in England keeping common frogs, toads, lizards and grass snakes I realised the importance of breeding the animals I kept. Now I breed for a number of reasons: Conservation of rare / endangered varieties; research into conditions needed for captive maintenance of such species; Personal satisfaction; and also to recoup some of the costs involved in the maintenance of collection / oultlay in aquisition of new specimens. Finally: Research into ecology / reproductive biology of local species. e.g did you know that until just a few years ago no one knew for sure how Blanus cinereus ("Worm Lizard") reproduced - even as to whether it was oviparous or viviparous?
