Favorite Resource Websites & Forums

Ciliatus.com
Ciliatus.com is actually a complete crested gecko resource website.  All kinds of articles, photos and information about crested geckos, as well as forums with laid back, helpful members and lots of traffic.

BloodPythons.com
The place to be if you're into short-tailed pythons. This is my friend Kara Glasgow's website.  I'm actually in the process of helping her finish it up.  When finished, BloodPythons.com will be the most complete blood python resource on the internet.

Friends & Fellow Breeders

Bawaa Herps
Gary Quirk
Bawaa Herps is a family owned and operated business owned by Gary Quirk, a fellow Kansas City local.  Gary has bred numerous python, gecko and monitor species over the years, often switching things up and trying new species.  Gary scaled back briefly between 2005-2006, while deciding what he would work with next...

Oh, and in case you've ever wondered how my "G.Q." Irian Jayas got their name, they weren't' named after a magazine. ;)

Update - Spring 2007
Well, Gary decided what to do next....full time reptiles.  He dropped the Bawaa Herps moniker and has partnered up with me to start some new projects under the A.C. Reptiles name, as well as starting a completely separate company, which you'll start hearing more about in the future.  Gary is also now part of the A.C. Reptiles team as well, overseeing the day to day care and maintenance of my collection.  There's too much to cover here, but count on hearing Gary's name in the future.

Reptiles by Andrew Hare
Andrew is what I would classify as a Jungle snob. :-)  Seriously though, top notch Jungles are tough to find and he's managed to put together one of the best collections anywhere.  He also has a variety of other pythons.  Andrew also does a lot of field herping and has a very extensive field herping gallery with some really cool photos.  Definitely a website you want to check out.

SavageDigital.com
Randy May and Sara Hoskins
My friends, Randy and Sara are currently working with reticulated pythons and arachnids.  Randy helps me choose my photography equipment and is also one of the best reptile photographers around...no need to say more, just check out his website.

Steve Gooch Reptiles
Steve is probably best known for his photography, which is how he was first exposed to reptile breeding.  Steve has now built up an impressive collection of his own.  Check out his website (designed by yours truly) for info on his animals and his photography.

Repashy Reptiles
Allen Repashy
Allen is the single largest crested gecko producer in the world and is also very much responsible for their popularity in the pet trade.  Allen is a good friend and helped me tremendously when I was getting started with crested geckos.  I also built his website.
