There comes a time in your life when you face a bloke and you're resolute he's lost his marbles. To the non reptile blooded human, picking up a snake that has the potential to last your days in one bite, may seem a small risky, if not crazy. I guess he has a point. It's not lengthy after meeting Roy that you soon discover he is truly passionate about animals and reptiles. Roy Pails moved to Australia when he was impartial 9 years old. Whilst out collecting Blue tongues as a 12 year old, Roy came across his beginning snake and fair couldn't aid but pick it up. This time Roy started rolling tin looking for lizards and came across a Tiger snake lying their, adrenaline pumping through his veins, he put the tin back down and started looking for something to put him in. That was the start of him keeping and catching snakes. And more snakes, setting up pits in his parent's garden to house the reptile collection. The sight of pythons and other venomous species along with lizards and crocodiles excited Roy. From there, Roy bought many reptiles and it wasn't lengthy prior his father's pool room was no longer worn for gaming. Cages where everywhere and his Dad wasn't too keen on the idea of no longer being able to play pool with his mates. His Dad had to extend the house and construct a snake room! Orphaned animals of all kinds could find a home with Roy (and calm do!). The family then moved to Ballarat and his father built a double garage just to house Roy's growing collection. Soon after Roy bought 2.5 hectares of untouched bush land in an area accessible to Ballarat. He started to prosper this land, building a Wildlife Park, housing and showing a huge array of Australian wildlife. It wasn't lengthy prior looking behind the animals, working and protection for a young family became too much for Roy to handle. Behind selling the house and land, Roy set up in Ballarat where in 1987 he established a bigger breeding facility which housed over 200 reptiles. By then Roy was breeding more and more reptiles, this was then where the nickname Pails for Scales came about! The reptiles have their own bank account and the money made from the reptiles goes back to the reptiles.Now the reptile facility is complete, Roy has impaired the reptile money to purchase two properties to help preserve the native animals in the Berringa Area, along the edge of Moonlight Creek. More recently Roy and his family have purchased a third property in the area which has facilities to camp out, this will permit increased time spent there busy on making it wildlife friendly. Along with the purchase of the property was the buy of a tractor which will make light work of removing weeds and rock, allot easier than a wheelbarrow and shovel!
