 We have photographed all our 2007 Corn snakes and they have been added to the Gallery MKII which can be accessed from the menu on the left or above.

 We have also added all our captive bred Royal Pythons they are all feeding of defrost rodents, and are now ready for sale.

 Our 2005 Suriname red tail boas have also been re-photographed and have been added into the same section.

Our stunning 2005 Red Tail Boas are now on offer from £395 each, see them in the livestock section of the website Special on our 2005 Surinam Red Tail Boas

We still have not had time to sex all the animals if there are any you like send us the reference number on the photo and we can sex it for you.

A 14-year-old boy who keeps dozens of reptiles in the garage of his parents' house has added two of the world's rarest lizards to his collection.

Jordan Davidson's pets include bearded dragons, bosc monitors, uromastyx, chameleons and a royal python he was given as a Christmas present.

He also has 25 baby dragons, 20 hatchlings and 27 eggs in an incubator.

The schoolboy has now bought two endangered Fiji iguanas, which he hopes to be able to breed.

The iguanas are the only ones of their type in Scotland, with just three zoos in Europe keeping them in their reptile houses.

Jordan, from Longridge, West Lothian, managed to buy the iguanas after being sponsored by the window company that provided glass for his aquarium.

Planning Application Approved

RELIEVED: Jerry Cole

REPTILE expert Jerry Cole today told of his relief after planners allowed him to carry on breeding some of the world's rarest creatures at his farm near Dorchester.

His retrospective application for a change of use to allow him to breed exotic animals at Purlands Farm was approved - despite a West Dorset District Council planning officer recommending refusal.

Instead, members of the council's development control committee granted consent.

Afterwards Mr Cole said: "It's a huge relief. I've been ill with worry about this - it's given me pneumonia. But I can say that common sense has prevailed.

Comments from Jerry,

I would like to thank every one that has e-mailed and called with support of our application, we received lots of support through email through the press and phone calls. This has been very overwhelming and i would again like to thank everyone that offered support.

This is the first part of a long process to get the required planning we need to continue our work here at B.J Herp Supplies.

Battle against extinction

CRISIS: Jerry Cole at Purlands Farm, Dorchester
CRISIS: Jerry Cole at Purlands Farm, Dorchester

A MAN who breeds some of the world's rarest reptiles says his animals will have to go if planners turn down his planning application.

Jerry Cole, who has bred animals that are nearly extinct in the wild, said he could not carry on his work if planners closed down his enterprise at his farm near Dorchester.

Mr Cole is seeking retrospective permission for a change of use from agricultural to the breeding of exotic animals at Purlands Farm on Bridport Road.

But case officer Darren Rogers is recommending refusal by West Dorset District Council's development control committee on Thursday. In a report to members he says the proposal for a two-storey building should be refused because of its setting in open countryside.

He states that the circumstances are not special enough to outweigh the breach of planning policies caused by continued use of the site.

Tuatara breeding on New Zealand first in 200 years.
Written by Paul Davis   
Friday, 13 July 2007
For the first time in over 200 years, the 'prehistoric' tuatara is showing signs of breeding in the wild on mainland New Zealand.

Less than 18 months ago, tuatara were extinct in the wild on mainland New Zealand. However, in December 2005 an arrangement between Ngati Koata and Wellington’s award-winning Karori Sanctuary saw 70 Cook Strait tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) transferred from Stephens Island (Takapourewa) to the 225ha wildlife sanctuary in the capital.

The Humane Society Calls for Halt to Rattlesnake Roundups
Written by Paul Davis   
Friday, 13 July 2007
2007. The Humane Society of the United States, the nation’s largest animal protection organization, is calling for a halt to the rattlesnake roundups.

Though often billed as performing an important environmental service by ridding a locale of dangerous pests and providing antivenin for medical use, a HSUS report The Truth Behind Rattlesnake Roundups finds that these events actually disrupt the balance of ecosystems and may increase the chances of people being bitten while sanctioning cruelty to animals.

Facts About Rattlesnake Roundups

Popular as fundraisers and attended by families, rattlesnake roundups involve flushing the snakes from their dens with gasoline or other toxic substances; stockpiling them for weeks or months before the event, often in crowded crates or trash cans without food or water; and using the animals in competitions like the ‘sacking contest,’ where teams race to fill a bag with as many snakes as fast as possible.
