... I've been here for YEARS!!

Just wanted to pop in and say hello to all of my friends (and all of the people that have decided not to like me for whatever reason ).

I haven't been around much lately and I miss this place! ... Still absolutely the best reptile related forum on the internet!!

I've been a one legged man in a butt kicking contest the last few weeks. I've got over 50 clutches in the incubator (a couple have hatched out already) and a ton more on the way. I'm also growing 8 Ball Pythons big time ... keep an eye out for huge new things in the weeks and months ahead! If anyone knows of someone in central Maryland (close to Baltimore) looking for some part time hours working with ball pythons, tell them to give me a call ... With the number of animals in my collections nearly doubling over the next couple months, I need the help and lots of it!!!

The great news is that school is out and instead of summer camp or daycare, my son is spending the summer learning his dad's biz. At 6 years old, he can already pop and probe snakes better than a lot of "pro breeders" and he's in charge of setting up all of the clutches as well as hatchlings this summer!

So there's my story ... I'll be in and out as much as I can ... In 8 Ball chat Wednesday nights at 9pm EST (http://chat.8ballpythons.com) unless I'm away at the beach ... Answering emails, slowly but as steadily as possible ... and with rare exception ALWAYS answering my cell phone 301-922-4959 ... My cell is absolutely the BEST way to get in touch with me.

Keep on keeping on everyone and I hope everyone is having as much fun with their clutches and hatchlings as I am ... this is turning out to be a MONSTEROUS summer for 8 Ball Pythons and I only have all of my friends to thank for the support over the years!!!!!

Talk to you soon!
