Bodybuilding:
I am named after Steve Reeves, the legendary 1950s Bodybuilder and Hercules Film Actor (My dad was a great fan!) so it was inevitable that I would take up Bodybuilding Weight Training and I currently train at Temple Gym in Wombwell, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I won 3rd place at the NABBA Mr West Wales under 21s Bodybuilding Contest in Carmarthen in 1983, and was 4th at the NABBA Mr Wales under 21s in the same year. More Steve Greaves Bodybuilder photos
Motorcycling: I own a 600cc Yamaha Fazer FZS600 (95bhp 1999 model) which I ride nearly every day.
Giant African Land Snails:
In the summer of 2007 I was given an adult Giant African Land Snail. I named him "Arnie" after the Bodybuilder and action film star Arnold Schwarzenegger. The big Snail is around 4 ins long. "He" promptly laid a clutch of around 60 eggs, two of which survived and are thriving. A month later came the second batch of 70ish eggs - most of which hatched. A third clutch was laid about one month after that. Surprising as Arnie has been kept in a tank on his own. Giant African Land Snails are hermaphrodites i.e. have both male and female reproductive organs (although you need two snails to breed) and have the capacity to have produce clutches of eggs in instalments.
