This is my page of random pictures, thoughts, and things that are going on around the ranch or with us, and things that amuse me. Mostly pictures that don't fit anywhere else with the horses. Check back because I am going to try to update it regularly. 

Roger Daltrey of the Who and me, I've loved Roger Daltrey since I was 10 years old and finally after 15 years I got to meet him in Thackerville, Oklahoma before one of his solo concerts on October 22, 2009!!!! It was perfect, he signed 3 records and a photograph and I was able to get right in front of the stage leaning on the stage in front of him and 3 guitar picks! One with his name, two with the guitarist Frank Simes' name. The concert was amazing and this was the best day of my life by far!

Zoom-Zoom is the latest addition to the ranch. She is our live entertainment and pest control company.

Some recent photos of the indoor gang holding down the furniture.

A few random green anole pictures from this summer.

Here's a couple of new pictures, one of my evil female tokay gecko Scrakk!, and one of Aries shedding his skin.

This is a tiny baby anole that hangs out in the back yard.

We have a new addition to the ranch. A 1998 blue roan Classic Foundation Shetland pony stallion named Hopwood's Silver Raine.

Here are a few pictures I took today. I have several exotic lizards, some live outside, and some live inside. The native green anoles like to hang out on the lizard cages. I think I love my green anoles just as much as my exotic lizards, there aren't too many lizards more fun to watch than a male green anole running around like a little Napoleon trying to prove he is the baddest thing in the neighborhood. I see this guy basically every day, I call him Fernando, he loves to show off for us.

This is my green iguana Pete. I'm not sure what gender Pete is yet, but we'll just assume for now that Pete is a he. I've had Pete for several years, part of the success to having an iguana live so long is in the diet. Pet stores usually tell people an iguana can live on lettuce, but that is FALSE. They will eventually starve to death on a diet of just lettuce because it has basically no nutritional value. You have to give iguanas a more balanced diet of various fruits and greens such as mustard, turnip, or collared greens. That's just the basics, they need proper lighting and supplements as well.

This is my male blue bar Ambanja panther chameleon Aries. He is still pretty young. I have a female for him that he will be meeting soon. Panthers are one of the most beautiful chameleons there are. I like the blue ones the best.

These are my leopard geckos. I have eggs incubating right now from my female and my blizzard male. Zig is my tangerine male, Zag is my tangerine female, and Slate is the blizzard male.

Here are some more random photos that I've taken.

These are my free range green anoles and skinks, I'm a little addicted to lizards and taking pictures of them. It's probably a good thing there aren't too many varieties of wild lizards in East Texas.

These are my 4 imitation Siamese cats. Mocha, Espresso, Latte, and Cool Whip. I've had Mocha for about a year longer than the other 3, who are full siblings. Mocha turns 2 in May 08, the rest turn 1 in August 08. From left to right in the top picture below they are Mocha, Cool Whip, Latte, and Espresso. Mocha is the dark male, Cool Whip is the fluffy male, Latte is the dark female, and Espresso is the light female.

Below pictures are Mocha as a kitten
