I've spoken to Rich just now and once again I'm reminded why I love doing business with this guy. :)

Let me also add my thanks to this site and it's members. You people are quite simply the best there is. Hopefully I'll be speaking to Bruce today by phone. I know he's very, very touched by the outpouring of love, support and concern expressed by the membership of BPNet.

I've also just spoken to Paula at Bean Farm and sent her a few links to these threads. So mods and admins she may be contacting you soon

If you're looking for a store you might want to look for something IN Canada. The American dollar also has higher purchasing power right now too and you wouldn't have to pay customs. I know that this place isn't as reptile specific as some of the other places you're looking at, but I would contact the owners if there's something on the site that they don't specifically carry because if their suppliers can get it so can they. Plus if the order is over $200 there's no shipping charged.

You can also check out this site for heat tape and a few accessories related to it:

I don't know how this compares to American pricing and the dollar values and all that. But at least this way Bruce doesn't get nailed with customs either. Which is annoying.

Also for some of the more basic stuff for building racks and such I think giftcards for Home Depot or better yet Rona would be pretty awesome. A lot of accessories sold for making racks online can be bought at these places for a fraction of the price.

Thanks for that info Stephan. I'll add Rona to my list of places to call about gift cards in Canada. Actually since it's in Boucherville that you have to call, I'll ask Deb to since she's our french speaking Moderator. :) I'm hoping to speak to Bruce later today after he's had a chance to go back into his home and assess what can be salvaged from the snake room. Once we have that information, we'll have a better idea from him about any needs down the road to redo his snake room.

At this point, we're focusing on his and Jerome's personal needs and what we can do quickly to help them out. It has got to be gawd awful to wake up one day and not even own a toothbrush so addressing that need is first up but the snakes needs are also on our list of how can we help.

Again, you people humble me with your generousity of spirit!

OMG - I just read this whole thread and was just devastated. I am new to this site - for about the past year and have thoroughly enjoyed all the help and support I have gotten from everyone.

JLC - I placed a donation for Bruce via paypal but am not sure if the my UserName will appear correctly or not - please add (L.West) to the item you are making for Bruce.

Sincerely,

L. West
