    Auction for American Cancer Society Relay for Life
    First, I would like to thank Judy and the BP.Net staff for giving me special permission to post this auction!!

    My youngest brother and some of his friends are walking in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life to honor his wife, my sister-in-law, a two-year survivor of breast cancer. At least two members of the team must be walking at a time over a 12-hour stretch. Last year, my brother walked for more than 10 of those 12 hours!

    My nephew was 10 when his mom was diagnosed with cancer so it was very difficult for him and the rest of the family. He is a budding herper who has kept frogs and is currently into Axolotls. He would also keep tortoises and snakes if his mother would let him :). Let's show him what a great community this is!

    Up for auction is this Champagne Male 100% Het. for Ghost which is currently 602 grams. He is eating frozen thawed rats and should breed this season. The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life is on September 7th so this will be a five day auction ending on Thursday August 29th at 5:00 eastern time. In addition, the winning bidder must pay in full via. PayPal by September 2nd so I can forward the donation prior to the Relay. Please join me in supporting this great cause. Also, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    I just wanted to say thank you for helping to support the cause. You're an awesome character for doing this and then donating the money, which I know isn't the easiest thing.

    This is a beautiful thing, Dave! Thank you for hosting your auction here at BP.net and allowing us to be a part of it!

    I do wish to remind people that Dave sought permission before posting this, and was given permission only after careful consideration by the staff. Random contests, auctions, or fund raisers are not allowed and any exception to that must be granted by Admin.

    I'll up the bid to $475. :D

    Thanks everyone for the support!! This is a great cause and way too many people are effected directly or indirectly by this disease.

    My brother and his family are watching this auction and they think it's incredible where the bidding is after one day. My nephew Dylan is participating in the Relay as well, he's an awesome kid. Here he is when he visited us earlier this year.

    I am in! 500.

    Let me just also mention that I appreciate what you are doing with this auction. My father is a prostate cancer survivor, my sister a thyroid cancer survivor and my wife a skin cancer survivor. Let's hope the cancer line ends there! We have participated in Relay for Life a number of times over the past 10 years and I am not about to stop!

    I can't participate as I'm in Canada.

    But...

    Bump ;)

    Dave Green
    Thanks everyone! We have met my expectations so I am thrilled!!

    I am auctioning two different champagne het ghosts on two different forums and the combined bidding has now hit $950 which is awesome. However, wouldn't it be great to donate $1,000+!! I will cover the shipping costs so every penny I receive will go directly to the American Cancer Society.

    Thanks again for making this such a huge success!!

    I might bid so I may regret this, but it's for a good cause. At breeding size and het hypo you'll make your money back with one hit on a mimosa...

    $525.00

    Dave, thank you for doing this. My mother is a breast cancer survivor as were my grandmother and my aunt. Breast cancer tends to run in families so it's always been a big worry for us. Perhaps with enough donations my sister my nieces and my grand niece won't have to worry about this terrible disease in the future. So thank you very much for donating these beautiful animals. :gj:

    It's the last day folks, get a great deal and support a great cause! The total for both auctions is currently $975!! Let's make it $1,000, we are so close. Here is a picture of my sister-in-law and nephew at last years Relay. It was a very rewarding experience for all involved and let's hope this year is even better. Thanks again everyone!

    While I can't join in on the bidding this time, would it be possible to send you a $25 donation. That will get you to $1000. Thanks for your generosity.

    Thanks, that is very much appreciated!! Rather then collect donations myself I think it would be best if you were to donate directly. Please e-mail me at dave@davegreenreptiles and I can forward you a link.

    My brother wanted me to post this:

    We wanted to thank everyone who participated in the auction to raise money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. With your help, we’ve raised more than $2000 for the second year in a row! Our family received some help from local cancer charities during Linda’s treatment, so we’re always excited to be able to give back now that she’s healthy again, two-and-a-half years removed from her initial diagnosis. The Relay itself is an amazing experience, and I would encourage everyone to participate if you ever have the chance. After a cancer diagnosis, so many of your thoughts and conversations are about symptoms, survival rates and surgeries, so it was an amazing, valuable thing for my wife to sit down for dinner and walk laps with dozens of local survivors to talk about embracing life after cancer. Thank you all – especially you, Dave – for making the experience that much more special! ---Dan, Linda, and Dylan
