I began my adventure into the world of reptiles as pets with a Royal Python I received as a birthday gift several years ago.  I  have gone from that first juvenile python (which I still have) to my current collection of Royal Pythons, Rat Snakes, Cornsnakes, California Kingsnakes, African House Snakes, Mexican Kingsnakes, Argentine Black & White Tegu and Iguanas.

This website is my way of sharing some of the information I have learned in the process of educating myself in the care and husbandry of my animals.  I have begun several breeding projects and hope to have various snakes for sale in the not too distant future.

Here are some of the other members of my team who help make Havenstead Ranch a reality:

Sarah - maintains position (literally) on the real-world desktop overseeing website design and maintenance.













Baxter - ensures webmaster overwork does not occur by repeated requests for walks, playtime and other misc. distractions from the work at hand.
 












Special thanks to:
-RoseMary, my better half, whose love, as well as her patience with my countless projects,is never ending.
-Frank, for putting up with my endless questions about HTML and website design.
-Jenny, Rhonda, Mom, RoseMary, LauraVJ, and everyone else who helped with proofreading, editing, advice and feedback and just moral support...I thank you.

Below is a trial run of a photo album of some pictures of a few of the snakes and lizards in my collection.  This album needs work and is only temporary:
