About Me...  My name is Gary Morris and I have been keeping reptiles since 1995. I am a UK hobbyist / breeder based in Dartford, Kent.   I started like most keepers with a colubrid, which was a garter snake. Like many new starters to the reptile hobby the snake died. Not letting this put me off I decided to have another go. This time I started researching a few of the readily available snakes and made my choice based on what I found. My choice of snake was a female California Kingsnake - who I still have to this day! As many keepers know reptiles can be very addictive so I soon acquired more California Kingsnakes and attempted breeding them with great success. After breeding the California Kingsnakes I decided that I would put the money I made from the offspring back into my hobby. I introduced more snake species as well as lizards and tortoises to my growing collection and I have been fortunate to keep and breed a good variety of reptiles for a number of years.
